Access policy issues, inciuding: <br /> - City requirement for road serving three or more lots. <br /> - Potential for setting a precedent. <br /> - Necessity of unique fmdings. <br /> Fire Pmtection <br /> Please review Exlubits A and B of the October 13 memo regazding fire protection. Daie <br /> Beckman of BRW at the request of the applicants evaluated the fire protection aspects of the <br /> proposed conversion from a public street to a shared driveway and a single driveway. He <br /> concludes that the fire protection situation will be impraved. Applicants' engineer has designed <br /> the proposed driveways to incorporate additional width and weight haaclling capacity to a11ow <br /> for adequate fire fighting access. The Long Lake Fire Departrnent in their letter of October <br /> 13 indicates the proposal is acceptable to them. <br /> Lot S dazds <br /> Because the proposal includes a replat, the perfarmance standards of the LR-lA district must <br /> be taken into consideration. At an average of one acre each, none of the existing lots meet <br /> the minimum lot width or area standazds for the two acre zone. The replat results in slightly <br /> larger lot areas but creates additional non-c�nformities. The Marfield lot becomes a "back lot" <br /> in the replat, requiring 150% of the two acre requirement (three acres}, yet it will remai.n at <br /> just over one acre. Further, the Marfield lot loses its frontage on a public road in favor of <br /> abutting only a shared driveway outlot. And, the 150% standard for side setback on a back <br /> lot leaves more of Marfields existing home encroaching into the required side yazd. {See <br /> Exhibit E). <br />
