It is expected that the Kelly Property will be acquired by Anoka County for County Park purposes and a street connection to that property would be undesirable. The Subdivision Sketch Plan proposes continuation of the existing 35 foot road easement along the westerly Schwartzman property to serve the Kelly property as it has in the past. The easement is the only public land access to the property. In the event the Kelly property is not acquired by the County the owners will negotiate a change in the access as necessary. OUTLOT The outlot is intended for use as a private open space area to be owned by an owners association which provides owners with a passive recreation area, River access and space for the storm water retention area. As such the developer claims partial park dedication credit for this area. RESIDENTIAL LOT SIZE Ail single family lots as proposed will exceed the 12,150 s.f. minimum area as specified in City Code Sec. 170.016B for the R-1U Residential District and also as specified in the Environmental Protection Ordinance ~88-11 for non-riparian lots with public sewer. (The Outlot is a "riparian lot" that borders the Mississippi River watercourse.) All residential lots are considered as "non-riparian" lots. The Interim Regulations for the Mississippi River Critical Area do not have lots size requirements but simply refer to the "local zoning ordinance". RESIDENTIAL LOT WIDTH Lot width requirements for single family residential lots are specified in City Code Sec. 170.016B for the R-1U Residential District as a minimum of 80 feet. All lots are proposed in excess of this minimum. The Environmental Protection Ordinance #88-11 indicates a lot width minimum of 90 feet "at the Building Line and River Frontage" which applies to riparian lots. The Interim Regulations for the Mississippi River Critical Area do not have lot width requirements. 2
