Canaday Surveying dated received by the City on June 17, 1999. We offer the following comments: Zoning and General: The property is zoned Planned Unit Development and is a part of the approved concept plan for Northfork dated January 1, 1985. The preliminary plat currently under review proposes to create 7 single family lots. e Lot Dimensions and Area: In keeping with the Northfork P.U.D. concept modifications approved in May of 1990, all of the lots in Northfork are to be at least one acre (43,560 square feet) in size. At the time of preliminary plat review, ail of the lots ranged in size from 80,060 to 121,500 square feet. However, since preliminary plat approval, the open space proposed to be platted as Outlot A and deeded to the homeowner's assocation as been incorporated into the 7 lots. Therefore, the lot areas significantly exceed the 43,560 square foot minimum. Lot Dimensions and Area: As noted at the time of preliminary plat review, the plat is also in the Shoreland Overlay District for Lake Itasca. As such, the minimum lot size increases to 80,000 square feet. Again, the minimum lot size is significantly exceeded because the outlot proposed at the time of preliminary plat review has been incorporated into the 7 lots. For the riparian lots (4, 5, 6) the minimum lot width at the building setback line and water frontage is 200 feet. All of the riparian lots meet the 200 foot width requirement at the water frontage. Lot 5 received a variance to the 200' width requirement at the building setback line. Streets: The lots are proposed to receive public access via the extension of a public road east offofAndrie Street N.W. The road is approximately 1,000 feet long and received a variance to the 600 foot maximum cul-de-sac length. The street name is missing from the proposed final plat. At the time of preliminary plat review, the request was made to deviate from the City's' grid sysytem and name the street Itasca Point Road. Council consensus was that the street name should be in accordance with the grid system.
