Review File: Trott Brook Addition (CUP, Sketch Plan, Final Plat and Site Plan) April 28, 2017; revised June 9, 2017 Page 3 of 5 Conditional Use Permit The submittal includes an application for a Conditional Use Permit for (CUP) for A religious institution is considered a Conditional Use in the R-1 Residential District. A religious institution has been in operation on the site prior to this zoning standard. City Staff have no objection to the CUP and have included the proposed Site Plan as an exhibit in the document to also allow for potential future expansion as shown to occur without requiring an amendment to the CUP (still subject to all permitting requirements thought). Sketch Plan and Final Plat General. The project proposes to subdivide portions of three (3) lots into two (2), plus one (1) Outlot, to accommodate an expansion of Trott Brook Hall. As part of the request, an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) has been submitted to address the expansion of a lawful, non- conforming use. The building expansion and parking improvements are being reviewed using the B-1 General Business District standards as those are more closely aligned with the use on the property than the R-1 Residential standards. Zoning. The properties are all zoned R-1 Residential (MUSA). The Minor Plat will result in two (2) lots plus an outlot, all of which exceed the minimum thresholds for size and width. The lot with the religious institution also meets the minimum standards of the B-1 General Business District. Streets and Access. The project site will continue to be accessed from CSAH 5. Two existing accesses will be removed as part of the project with a new egress only access proposed centered on Lot 1 and a new ingress/egress access proposed straddling the boundary between Lots 1 & 2. The northern access will require a Cross -Access Easement recorded against both lots. The project will require a permit through Anoka County for all work occurring within their right-of-way and a copy of said permit shall be provided to the City. The Application indicates the intention would be for the northern access to actually serve as right- of-way for a public road if/when the surrounding property is developed. The information on the Application itself is not actually legally binding (only the approved plans are). If this is the intention, the Final Plat should be revised to include a drainage and utility easement along the northern thirty-three (33) feet of Lot 1 Block 1 and Outlot A. This would at least reserve half the corridor width needed to serve as right-of-way with the remainder being addressed at the time the surrounding land is developed. Note that when the surrounding land is developed, the access to the church will need to be modified to accommodate the construction of the public road indicated on the Application. Grading and Drainage Plans. Please see Engineering Comments with regard to grading and drainage. Easements. Drainage and utility easements shall be provided for both lots. Drainage and utility easements shall be ten (10) feet in width adjacent to road right-of-way and unplatted areas and five
