The property is zoned B-1 <br />Business, and both lots meet the 1/2 acre minimum lot size. Both lots also meet the minimum lot <br />depth requirement of 150 feet. Both lots front on T.H. #47 but will receive access from a private <br />road extension off of 142nd Avenue. When the site plan for the bank was reviewed, MnDOT <br />stated a need for an additional 12 feet of right-of-way along T.H. 4/47 to create a 45 foot wide <br />right-of-way on the west side of the centerline; the proposed plat accommodates that request. In <br />addition, it was discovered that 142nd Avenue crossed the northwest comer of the subject property <br />and that segment of the street was not officially dedicated as a public street; the proposed plat also <br />corrects that situation. City Staff recommends approval of the sketch plan. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated the total right-of-way for T.H. #47 at this location will be 120 feet. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik noted that Lot 1 is the bank facility and Lot 2 is the old school house/town hall. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner LaDue and seconded by Commissioner Holland to approve the sketch <br />plan for Old School House No. 28 Addition subject to items in the Staff Review Letter dated April <br />25, 1996. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
