Zoning File #1892 November 12, 1993 Page 2 Special design considerations have been employed to minimize horizontal expansion and limit hardcover. The architect's addendum, Exhibit B, notes space has been utilized below and above the grade level garage as living space. A lower level patio lies under a portion of the main level greatroom, review Exhibit K. The roof deck eliminates need for additional decks and patio. The most unique solution to the excess hardcover is the proposal to install a drainfield to treat runoff collected from the flat roof. 7.3% of hardcover from the walk and drive would be treated by surrounding ground area. 25% of the runoff from the hardcover would be disbursed and absorbed in the drainfield. The applicant also notes if City would consider vacating 5' on either side of the 60' right- of-way of Forest Lake Landing that the area within the 75-250' zone would be increased by 740 s.f. also reducing intensity of hardcover excesses. The property has never been assessed for sewer. Review E�ibit L, the sewer is approximately 120' away from property boundary. It will be the applicant's responsibility to extend sewer to the property. Sewer connection charge will consist of the following charges: Plant charge $ 225.00 Unit fee for 1970 LS-lproject $ 4,111.00 Lift Station 10 by-pass charge $ 2,188.00 Front footage charge $25.30 per front foot $ 4,807.00 (190' x $25.30) Total fee $11,3 31.00 Service Availability Charge $750.00 ($800.00 as of 1/1/94) The fee schedule provides no direction for properties where the sewer line does not abut the boundaries of the property but where the owner must assume responsibility for extending the sewer. The question is whether it is fair to charge applicant the front footage charge at this time. Applicant may wish to appeal to the Council at the time of the Council's review to determine if the $4,807.00 fee could be removed from total sewer unit charge. Statement of Hardship Please review Exhibit B, applicant's addendum. Hardships are reviewed as follows: 1. Total lot area is 55,500 s.f. but only 13,700 s.f. lies within the 75-250' setback zone. 2. Unique topography.
