She indicated the <br />subject property is located south of 147 Avenue, east of Trunk Highway #47, and west of <br />Xkimo Street. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald advised the sketch plan is proposing to subdivide the subject property <br />into one buildable lot and one outlot. She stated Mr. Feldman submitted a site plan application <br />for the development of a 12,000 square foot office facility on the proposed Lot 1. She indicated <br />the newly created lot exceeds the ½ acre minimum lot size, 100-foot lot width, and 150 foot lot <br />depth requirements. She stated the standard drainage and utility easements will need to be <br />provided along the perimeter of the new lot. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald indicated that access will be derived from Xkimo Street. She noted the <br />site plan is not proposing to gain any access from Trunk Highway #47, therefore right of access <br />along Trunk Highway #47 should be dedicated to the State. She stated the City's master Park <br />and Trail Map shows a pedestrian trail along Highway #47 from Xkimo Street' where the trail <br />te~xninates on the Holiday Station property, extending to 142nd Avenue. She indicated Staff is <br />working with the developer to address the appropriate location of the trail due to topography <br />constraints along the Highway #47 conqdor. <br /> <br />Commission Input <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if there was a variance included as part of this site plan. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald indicated there is because the lot is part of the Scenic River Overlay <br />Area. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked how Staff believes that the developer is not creating the need for the <br />variance by the size of the lots. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald indicated that almost any configuration would require a variance. She <br />stated because of how the parcel lays out, there are few options. She stated Staff has had <br />conversations with the DNR, which she will discuss in more detail during the site plan review. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Brauer approve the sketch plan <br />contingent on compliance with the Staff Review Letter and site plan approval. <br /> <br />Motion cmTied.
