Overview
Background
The applicant, Nellie Sachs, is proposing to subdivide a 6 acre lot from a
21.65 acre parcel. The property is located at the northwest corner of
Meadowvale Road (County Road 32) and County Road 1.
The Sachs owned approximately 33 acres at the northwest corner of County
Rd. 32 and County Rd. 1. A 5 acre parcel was subdivided from the west side of
13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425

the 33 acre lot in 1986 and given to a daughter. A 6.29 acre lot, located at the
intersection, was subdivided in 1991. This lot includes a pond, the original
farmhouse and barn. In 1989, in order to allow for the construction of a
detached garage on the adjacent 5 acre lot, a 30' by 102' lot line adjustment
was deeded. This was necessary because the garage was located on the
original lot line and did not meet the setback requirements. The remaining
21.65 acres is the subject of the current request for administrative
subdivision.
Proposed subdivision
The proposed 6 acre lot complies with the dimensional requirements of the
Rla district. The lot has 267 feet of frontage on County Road 1. There is a
small pond located near the center of the lot, and the proposed house location
is near the southwest corner. The proposed lot will be serviced by on-site well
and septic. The proposed locations of the well, primary and alternate septic
systems should be shown on the survey. The remaining 15.6 acres includes
the applicant's residence.
There is an 280' by 440' isolated piece directly west of the proposed 6 acre lot
that is included as part of the 15.6 acres. The applicant indicated that this is
included as part of the 15.6 acre parcel in order to maintain Green Acres
status. At some point in the future it will either be combined with the
proposed 6 acre parcel to the east or the existing 5 acre parcel to the south.
Access
Access to the proposed 6 acre lot will be from County Road 1. A driveway
permit will be required from Sherburne County. The remaining 15.6 acres is
accessed by an existing driveway from County Road 32.
Right-of-way
The property involved in this subdivision has frontage on both County Road
32 and County Road 1. The proposed 6 acre lot has frontage on County Road
1 and the remaining 15.6 acre parcel has frontage on both County road I and
County Road 32. Additional right-of-way will need to be dedicated in order to
have the necessary 50 foot half right-of-way on county roads. See the city
Engineer's memo for comments regarding possible 30 foot right-of-way along
north boundary line.
Drainage
See the City engineer's memo for comments regarding drainage.

Easements
The City requires 10 foot drainage and utility easements be in place around
the perimeter of the site. Drainage and utility easements will also have to be
granted over the pond located on the proposed 6 acre lot.

dedication in lieu of land to satisfy the park dedication requirements for the
one new lot being created.
Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council approve Nellie Sach's request for
administrative subdivision with the following conditions:
Drainage and utility easements be granted to the City over 10 feet
around the perimeter of the site. A drainage easement is also needed
over the pond located on the 6 acre parcel.
o
A grant of easement be prepared and executed granting 50 feet of
right-of-way along County Road 1, including both parcels; additional
right-of way will also be required along County Road 32 per Sherburne
County and the City.
o
Proposed locations for the well, primary and alternate septic systems
shall be shown on the proposed 6 acre parcel.
°
Park dedication fee in the amount of $600 shall be paid to the City
prior to recording this subdivision with Sherburne County.
o
Surface water management fee in the amount of $66.83 shall be paid
to the City prior to recording this subdivision with Sherburne County.
The applicant shall receive all necessary County permits in order to
allow access from County Road I to the proposed 6 acre lot.
o
A legal description of the 15.6 acre parcel be provided prior to
recording this subdivision with Sherburne County.

adjustment that was deeded to the adjacent 5 acre parcel to the west.

As you requested, we have reviewed the proposed lot split of Nellie Sachs. Based on our
review and comments received at the staff review meeting, we would offer the following
comments:
The applicant is attempting to split off one lot approximately six acres in size
from a larger piece of property. The drawings that were submitted were prepared
by Taylor Land Surveying. The first one showed the overall property and the
second one showed the specifics of the lot proposed to be broken off. The parcel
that is to be subdivided is a peculiar shape and leaves a remnant to the west that
is virtually disconnected from the remainder of the property. This raises the
question as to what are the property owner's future plans for this land.
We question whether, at some point in the future, a road servicing property
further to the west or north would be needed off of CSAH 1. If there is any
potential for this to be needed at any time in the future, this subdivision should
be required to provide a half of right-of-way or a 30-foot right-of-way along the
north boundary line.
Drainage and utility easements should be provided around the perimeter of the
site.

County Road 32 to the south of the site is the proposed corridor for an east-west
collector route in the City's Draft Transportation Plan. We have not seen the
County's Draft Transportation Plan, but have been led to believe that it will
recommend a similar type of corridor. Therefore, we would recommend that a
100-foot right-of-way for County Road 32 be acquired.

5. No topography or spot elevations have been provided; therefore, it is impossible
to determine if any additional easements should be provided for items such as
wetland or drainage from one parcel to another. It is also impossible to
determine how, if at all, this subdivision of land will affect the surrounding
parcels.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call.
Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS
