SUBDIVISION - PRD He was concerned that no backup of water would 780 Old Crystal Bay R. 'zinder his property which is to the north of (Continued) this property. He also noted that at times there is quite a large flow of water t1-crou�h that ditch. Mr. Kumlin had questions and noted the odd shape of Lot 3 and also requested to know where the building site would be on that lot. Mr. Wiswell was also concerned with the ditches and the draining on the property. City Engineer, Jim Olson, was present and he noted that he had examined the plat and recommended preliminary approval. Alan Olson read into the record the recommendations of the County Highway Engineer concerning the access location wherein he recommended a possible alternate access location along the north property line which location would provide better site distances than the proposed location, but that the proposed , location would be acceptable. The public hearing was closed at 7: 47 P.r7. Thereafter, the Planning Corunission discussed the plat. Mr. Hammerel noted that it was not feasible to move the road as the County had requested. Mr. Frahm had questions concerning Lot 7 and the drainage ditch along it, v�uestioning whether or not this was a buildable site. After further discussion, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminar�� plat subj�ct �o the follow�ing �tems:, �� nlatting of the •road and drainage easements as outlots, completion of a developers agreement for the road and drainage construction, removal of existing driveway when the new road is created, completion of septic system ' testing prior to final plat approval, payment of � the park dedication fee, and other normal considerations. Staff Report - May 8, 1978 Received written recommendations from the County Highway Department. Received some soil boring information from P'Ir. Whitney and the Hennepin Soil and �9ater Conservation District Soils Piap. The soil boring information was done for construction purposes and not septic system testing and no percolation tests have been done. Brief staff , review of the soil map indicates that there may be some problems on certain lots particularly there are siting problems to locate any new septic systems in acceptable soils. Lot 2 has a very limited area of acceptaY�le soils indicated on the map; Lots 4 & 5 have acceptable soils only on the high end necessitating design of spetic systems in what would normally be the front yard and perhaps pumping effluent to those systems. Lot 7 is perhaps the most restrictive site ln that only a small area indicates acceptable types with a rather large area of hamel loam along the drainage way on the western side of the site. Staff would definitely recommend more complete septic syster.l testing of this subdivision prior to final approval. (Continued)
