Dimensional requirements
If the applicant wished to develop this property to its full potential, because
of the provision of 4 lots per 40 acres with a minimum lots size of 2.5 acres,
it might be possible to subdivide it into 5 lots. However, at this time the
applicant is proposing to subdivide the property into 2 lots. Future
subdivision will be limited to 4 lots, for a total of 5.
Both of the lots comply with the dimensional requirements of the district.
The proposed lot meets the 2.5 acre minimum lot size requirement and the
160 foot lot width requirement. However, the setback between the proposed
rear property line and the existing metal shed is 30 feet; the required setback
is 50 feet. Therefore, the rear lot line will have to be adjusted, and an
additional 20 feet is needed between the metal shed and the rear property
line.
Right-of-way and easements
The applicant is proposing a 50 foot half right-of-way for both parcels along
County Road 33. Drainage and utility easements are being provided along
the property lines on the 3.4 acre parcel.
Driveways
The 3.4 acre parcel is serviced by an existing driveway. Access to the larger
parcel will require a permit from Sherburne County.
Park and Recreation Commission Recommendation
The Park and Recreation Commission has recommended a cash dedication in
lieu of land to satisfy the park dedication requirements for the one new lot
being created.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the request by Rick
Fredericksen for an administrative subdivision to subdivide 57 acres into two
lots with the following conditions:
A GRANT OF EASEMENT BE PREPARED AND EXECUTED GRANTING A 50 FOOT HALF
RIGHT-OF-WAY ALONG COUNTY ROAD 33. THE $0 FOOT HALF RIGHT-OF-WAY SHALL
APPLY TO BOTH PARCELS.
