The home at 3051 Farview Lane has no lake views over this property due to the existing trees and topography as well as their own home's orientation to lake which are primarily western views. Road/Right-of-Way Dedication: A 33-foot right-of-way dedication is shown along Old Crystal Bay Road South (CSAH 84). City Engineer Comments The City Engineer's comments are attached. If there are any changes needed the applicant can respond to those prior to placement on the City Council agenda. Ultimately,the developer should prepare a final plat application which responds to and incorporates these recommendations. Easements Drainage& Utility.The City requires standard perimeter drainage and utility easements around all property boundaries in the Plat and drainage easements over the wetland areas.The easements are not shown on the proposed plat drawing;the Final Plat must meet the City standards. Drainage Easements shall be granted over any stormwater facilities that may be required by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Please refer to the comment letter from Elizabeth Showalter from the MCWD regarding stormwater treatment. Driveway. The property is proposed to be platted in a front/back lot configuration whereby the "back lot"does not have frontage on Old Crystal Bay Road South.The access is provided via a minimum 30-foot wide private driveway outlot. A Drainage and Utility easement shall be granted over the entirety of Outlot A.Access easements shall be provided over Outlot A for proposed Lots 1 and 2;a maintenance agreement for the driveway improvement should also be prepared by the applicant. It should be noted for the record that the 30'access outlot cannot in the future be converted to a roadway to allow for a further division of Lots 1 or 2 without a complete replat involving the outlot and Lot 2,at a minimum. Subdivision Code Section 82-256(c)(4)d.states that no more than two residences may be served by a driveway located within an access outlot.A future division would require a 50' road corridor and creation of a 24' paved roadway to serve 3+lots. Park Dedication The City has plans for trails that may specifically require dedication of land from this property. A 10'wide trail easement along the road frontage,should be granted as part of the plat as suggested by the Parks Commission.
