Administrative Subdivision, AS 99-3
This request will split 4.5 acres north of County Ditch NO.1 from a parcel approximately
42.9 acres in area. This 4.5 acres will be then combined with the 25.5 acre parcel to
provide additional land area for division. The 4.5 acre parcel is unusable by the current
property owner as it is separated on its south side from the remaining parcel by County
Ditch NO.1.
Administrative Subdivision, AS 99-4
With the 4.5 acres from AS 99-3, Mr. Foster has a total of 30 acres to subdivide into
three parcels. However, four acres of the 30 are located in Big Lake Township, leaving
only 26 acres in the City of Elk River. The A 1 District requires a ten acre minimum lot
area, therefore, as proposed, the lots are ten, ten and six acres respectively. The
proposed subdivision meets the spirit, but not the literal interpretation of the subdivision
code. Staff recommends that the subdivision be denied as proposed and reconfigured
to provide two lots, each 13 acres.
Mr. Foster could have a third lot with the four acres located in Big Lake Township. An
access easement over the new lot in Elk River would need to be granted for a driveway.
Sherburne County and Big Lake Township would have to approve a building permit on
the four acres located in Big Lake Township.
If a third lot is created using the four acres located in Big Lake Township and the six
acres in Elk River, deeds will need to be cross-recorded between the parcels in order to
prevent future subdivision of the two parcels.
In addition to the lot area issue, there are three wetlands located on the property (see
attached delineation map). The applicant will be required to provide drainage
easements over the wetland areas.
Park dedication fees ($1300 per lot) and surface water impact fees ($70.89 per lot) will
be required to be paid.
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the request, AS 99-3 by Mr. Foster to
split 4.5 acres with the condition:
1. THE PROPERTY SHALL BE COMBINED WITH THE APPLICANT'S PARCEL TO
FORM ONE PARCEL.

following additional condition:
