I I I I I REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF WILDLIFE SANCTUARY ADDITION; CASE OF KELSEY GUSTAFSON By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik CASE Background: Kelsey Gustafsoa, on behalf of his father and grandmother, is requesting final plat approval to subdivide 40 acres in the urban residential district into 3 single family lots. Two of the lots will accommodate exi~sting homesteads for Kelsey's grandmother and father and the third lot will facilitate Kelsey's!new home. The property is located on the west side of T.H. #47 at about 155th and 156th Avenu0s. The northeast comer of the quarter/quarter being platted is on the east side of T.H. #47 and will'be platted as an outlot. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) 0 Site location map Preliminary Plat with Resubdivision Plan Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated October 16, 1996 City Staff review letter dated October 17, 1996 Resolution for final plat approval Proposed development agreement Observations: The property is zoned R.-1 Urban Residential and is located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. The minimum lot size without City sewer and water in this District is 1 acre. Lot 1 is proposed at 29 acres, Lot 2 at 7 acres and Lot 3 at 2 acres. The minimum lot width without sewer and water is 200 :feet. The 40 acre parcel has less than 600 feet of frontage on T.H. #47 to accommodate the B homesteads. Because the plat will remedy a current landlocked homestead in the center of the 40, and because 3 lots from 40 acres is not an unreasonable request, Staff is recommending deviating from the 200 foot frontage requirement on Lot 2. A resubdivision phn has been submitted to verify that there is a workable plan to resubdivide the property in the future to its ultimate urban density based on the locations of the two existing homesteads and the one proposed homestead. The access onto T.H. #47 proposed for the resubdivision is consistent with the T.H. #47 Corridor Study. To prevent filling of wetlands, they are delineated and dedicated as drainage and utility easements on the plat. In this case, it is not likely that welands will be filled in order to create one more building pad. In addition, there are so many wetlands on the property that certified delineation would be quite cosltly and is not justifiable for the creation of one more lot. Therefore, City Staff is recommending acceptance of the plat with the standard drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of each of the lots. The Park Commission reviewed the plat on October 10 and it is recommended that a cash contribution satisfy~ park dedication requriements on the new lot created. Mn/DOT has requested an additional 27 feet of right-of-way on both sides of the centerline of T.H. #47. City Staff recommends waiving the $500.00 transportation impact fee if the developer provides that additional right-of-way.
