The surrounding properties vary in size between 2.0 to <br /> 8+acres. <br /> Conformity with Zoning District Lot Requirements ' <br /> The property is in the RR-1B, One Family Rural Residential District, which allows for single family rural <br /> residential uses with a minimum lot size of two dry buildable acres. Under a standard subdivision <br /> process, each proposed lot would have to contain the minimum.of 2.0 acres of dry buildable land. The <br /> current survey depicts 3 lots with a conforming density of one lot per two dry acres. <br /> General Site Characteristics <br /> The site contains three separate wetland bodies. Wetland delineations have been submitted and are <br /> currently under review the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Proposed Lot 3 contains an existing <br /> principal structure and the existing barn on the property is located on proposed Lot 2. The existing <br /> driveway will be upgraded to serve as the private road with cul-de-sac. A stormwater pond is proposed <br /> on Lot 1 to address stormwater resulting from the road hardcover. <br /> . Lot Layout and Lot Standards <br /> The property is situated along Willow Drive South. The Abingdon, Willow Knoll and Bill Kelley's Land <br /> Additions surround the property. According to the RR-1B Zoning District standards, all of the lots must <br /> contain 2.0 dry acres and meet a 200' width requirement at the road frontage as well as 50' principal <br /> building setbacks. Currently the property is platted to the centerline of Willow Drive; a 33-foot right of <br /> way will be dedicated along Willow Drive as part of the plat. The proposed lots lay out as follows: <br /> Proposed Lot 1: This lot will exceed the frontage width requirement at the road with over 200 <br /> feet of frontage along the private road and �±180' of width at the 50-foot <br /> principal building setback.There is a Manage 3 wetland in the north west portion <br /> of the lot and a Preserve wetland on the eastern, or rear, portion of property as <br /> well as a proposed stormwater pond. The property is proposed to have 2.36± <br /> acres dry, buildable land (excluding the stormwater pond). There is a sufficient <br /> buildable envelope available, and all of the required RR-1B district lot line <br /> • setbacks can be met. <br /> Proposed Lot2: Lot 2 has 61± feet in width at the cul-de-sac, and ±140 feet in width at the <br /> principal building setback, contains 3.49± dry acres in area, and contains a large <br /> portion of the Preserve wetland on the eastern third of the property. The <br /> existing barn is located on this lot within 10' of a side lot line. The status of the <br /> barn should be discussed and addressed. Variances are necessary in order to <br /> allow the approximately 1,200 square foot barn to remain in its current location <br /> with the proposed lot configuration. All required RR-16 setbacks can reasonably <br /> be met when this lot is developed with a new home. <br /> Proposed Lot 3: Lot 3 is proposed as a corner lot with 2.0 dry acres and over 300 feet of frontage <br /> on the new private road.A Manage 2 wetland separates Lot 3 from Willow Drive. <br /> The existing home is shown on this property currently; although a building pad <br />
