The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Site Plan CityiStaff review letter dated February 17, 1995 Prol:~OSed development agreement Proposed resolution for final plat approval Observations: The sketch plan forithe minor subdivision was reviewed by the Planning Commission on February 7. Because it is a rriinor subdivision, no public hearing was required. The subject proper~y is zoned R-1 Rural Residential and is located in the Rural Service Area, for which minimum lo4 size is I0 acres and the density is restricted to 4 units in 40 acres on a pro rata basis. City Code skates that if a parcel is not evenly divisible by 10, an additional lot may be developed if the s~ze of the fractional parcel is at least 75% of that required for a single lot. Therefore, the divis~lon of the property into a 10 acre and a 9 acre lot is permitted. The existing homesiead will be located on Lot 1. Lot 2 would require an access onto Baugh Street (County Road #85). The Anoka County Highway Department has reviewed the plat and recommended that! the access for Lot 2 be constructed within 30 feet of the north property boundary for Lot 2~ They have also recommended the removal of some of the Cedar trees in that area for improved light distance. The plan submitted by the applicant proposes to comply with these recommenda~ons. The plan submitted ~ndicates that there are two wells on Lot 1. The plan indicates that the southerly well is to be abandbned, however, the applicant wishes to continue using this well for Lrrigation purposes. Under ~ose circumstances, the City should require a coliform and nitrate test be performed on the w~ll to be sure that it is not polluted. In accordance with City Code, park dedication will consist of a cash payment for the new lot created. Recommendation: City Staff and the Planning Commission recommend final plat approval. Council Action: Motion to: : Adopt Resolution g95-02- anting final plat approval to Whit'~tail Meadows. Review Checklist: CC: City Administrator City Engineer Parks & Utilities Supervisor 2/28/95 10S
