Lots 1 & 2. If these are still present on the Subject Property, they need to be removed and/or relocated to <br />Lot 3 and stored in accordance with City Code Section 117-355 (Residential Off -Street Parking). <br />Zoning: The Subject Property is currently zoned as R-1 Residential (Rural Developing). The surrounding <br />properties are also zoned as R-1 Residential (Rural Developing). The intent of the R-1 Residential (Rural <br />Developing) District is to accommodate single-family dwelling units on suitable land served with <br />individual septic systems and wells. <br />R-1 Residential (Rural Developing) Bulk Standards <br />Standard <br />Required <br />Proposed <br />Lot Size <br />2.5 Acres <br />3.23 Acres (1), 3.82 Acres (2), <br />2.54 Acres (3) <br />Density <br />1 Unit/2.5 Acres <br />1 Unit/3.32 acres <br />Lot Width <br />200 Feet <br />200.04 Feet (1), 200.04 Feet (2), <br />324.36 Feet (3) <br />Front Setback <br />40 feet <br />40 feet <br />Rear Setback <br />40 feet <br />40 feet <br />Side Setback <br />10 feet <br />10 feet <br />Maximum Building Height <br />35 feet <br />N/A <br />Floodplains: There are no floodplains identified on the Subject Property. <br />Wetlands: There is small wetland in the southeast corner of the Subject Property (on proposed Lot 3). A <br />wetland delineation report has been submitted. Since there is no disturbance proposed with this <br />subdivision, approval of the delineation by the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization is <br />not required. Both the Sketch Plan and Final Plat include the required drainage and utility easement <br />extending sixteen and a half feet (16.5') beyond the delineated boundary of the wetland. <br />Streets and Access: The Subject Property presently gains access off 173' Avenue NW. 173' Avenue is <br />a Minnesota State Aid (MSA) road and is designated as a Major Collector in the City's Comprehensive <br />Plan. MSA roads require a total right-of-way width of eighty (80) feet. The Final Plat must be revised to <br />provide forty (40) feet of right-of-way from the centerline. <br />The existing home has two (2) driveway accesses already. However, due to the greater volumes of traffic <br />on MSA and Major Collector roads, Lots 1 & 2 shall be restricted to no more than a single point of <br />access, not wider than thirty (30) feet, per lot. Additionally, due to the Major Collector designation, the <br />Final Plat shall be revised to provide restricted access along 173' Ave, with the exception of the existing <br />driveway access points, and the proposed access points for Lots 1 & 2. <br />Utilities and Municipal Services: Although no dwelling units are proposed in these plans, any future <br />dwelling units will need to have their own well and septic systems. Soil borings were conducted and <br />identified on the Sketch Plan. However, the proposed primary and secondary septic locations are not in <br />the same locations as the soil borings. Please note that this is allowable but that additional soil borings <br />will be required at the time of permit application. <br />Tree Preservation and Landscaping: There is a significant woodland on the property. At this time, <br />there is no proposal for home construction on Lots 1 & 2. Thus, a tree preservation plan is not required at <br />this time. Furthermore, based on aerial imagery, there appears to be sufficient tree cover that when homes <br />are constructed, there should not be any difficulty complying with the City's Tree Preservation <br />
