(Wetland Conservation Act and State Rules) Additionally, attached to this case are two (2) resolutions for consideration of a Variance to allow for a private well and septic system in the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District. As these services are not within the vicinity of the Property at this time, it appears to be reasonable to allow a private well and septic for the size of this request. There is sufficient space for the placement of a primary and secondary septic system location. Details of the request are found in the attached materials. Notification: Staff attempted to notify all Property Owners within 700 feet of the Sketch Plan Review and Request for Variance. Observations/Alternatives: Alternative #1: Approve the request as is. The request appears to meet all minimum zoning and subdivision standards with amendments as requested by the City Staff Review File and after approval of the Variance. There appears to be a practical difficulty in requiring City sanitary sewer and water where neither are available. Staff recommends approval of this alternative, granting approval as presented. Alternative #2: Deny the request. The request is a fairly simple lot split. With amendments as noted in the Review File, Staff would not recommend denial at this time. Funding Source: All costs associated with the Application are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request. Action: Motion # 1: Motion to adopt a resolution adopting findings of fact related to the Variance. Motion #2: Motion to adopt a resolution granting the Variance. Motion #3: Motion to recommend that the City Council approve Diehl Acres.
