Analysis
The subject property is located at the intersection of County Road 77 and Highway 169. It
is 20.62 acres with an existing homestead located on the property with access to County
Road 77. The proposed subdivision will create two parcels, one 10.7-acre parcel for the
existing home, and one 9.92-acre parcel, which will be buildable. Both parcels will have

frontage on County Road 77 and will have a shared access to County Road 77. The lot lines
should be adjusted so that both parcels are at least 10 acres in area.
The lot width of Parcel B meets the 300-foot minimum required width, however, Parcel A
does not meet the minimum requirement 300 feet at the building setback line. Parcel A does
meet the required width at approximately 330' back from the right-of-way line. The two
parcels will have a shared drive thus eliminating two driveways being too close to one
another on the County Road.
Park and Recreation
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that the City accept cash dedication for
the two vacant lots as the land is in the rural district, outside of any park service areas.
Drainage and Utilities
The City Engineer's memo addresses site drainage and utilities.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Hipsag Administrative Subdivision with
the following conditions:
1. ALL COMMENTS OF THE CITY ENGINEER SHALL BE ADRESSED.
2. ALL COMMENTS OF THE COUNTY SHALL BE ADDRESSED.
3. PARK DEDICATION FOR ONE LOT SHALL BE PAID PRIOR TO
RELEASING THE SUBDIVISION FOR RECORDING.
4. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FEES FOR ONE LOT SHALL BE
PAID PRIOR TO RELEASING THE SUBDIVISION FOR RECORDING.
5. THE LOT LINES SHALL BE ADJUSTED SO THAT EACH PARCEL
EQUALS 10 ACRES

RE: DAVID HIPSAG ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDIVISION
Dear Mr. Leeseberg:
As requested we have reviewed the administrative subdivision for David Hipsag. Based on our review and
comments received at the Staff Review Meeting, we would offer the following comments:
The Administrative Subdivision proposes to take a parcel of property located in the southwest quadrant
of the intersection of Trunk Highway 169 and County Road 77 and divide it into two parcels, both
approximately ten acres in size.
Sherburne County should be asked to comment regarding whether or not additional right of way is
needed along County Road 77 and regarding driveway access for the two parcels both of which are
relatively close to T.H. 169.
There is an existing house on Parcel B closest to the highway. Parcel A further to the west has no
topography or spot elevations shown on it to determine whether or not there is a buildabte site and a
primary and secondary septic system location. Also there are no indications whether or not there are
any wetlands on the property. Enough information should be provided to ensure that there is a buildable
site on Parcel A.
Drainage and utility easements need to be shown around the perimeter of both parcels. The outside
easements around the perimeter need to be ten feet in width and the common line between Parcel A
and B needs a five-foot easement on either side of the line.
Somehow through this process, limited access should be provided along the T.H. 169 frontage.
The description for Parcel A on the second line where it states, "which lies west of ", needs the words ",
south and west" inserted between the word "west" and "of". Similarly, on the description for Parcel B the
second line where is states, "which lies east of ", the words ", north and east" need to. be inserted
between "east" and "o¢'.
If you have any questions regarding these comments please call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company

RE: David Hipsag Adm. Sub.
Dear Ms. McPherson;
We are not opposed to the request from David Hipsag to create a new lot along County Highway
77. We will support this request with the following conditions:
No new access to County Highway 77 will be permitted. An existing access must be
used and if necessary, an easement must be created to serve the property. An access
permit is not required.
2. Dedicate 50' of right of way in fee title to Sherburne County.
Sincerely,
Sherburne County Public Works
