Overview
The applicant is requesting an Administrative Subdivision (Acorn Woods) to create two lots from an
existing 5.63-acre property. There is an existing home on what will be Lot 1 Block 1. The site is
heavily wooded with significant topography.
Applicable Regulations
Subdivision

(1) The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning regulations (article VI of this chapter) and
conforms in all respects with all requirements of this Code, including the zoning regulations and this article.
(2) The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable general and specialized city, county, and
regional plans, including, but not limited to, the city's comprehensive development plan.
(3) The pf?ysical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topograpf?y, soils, vegetation,
susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and drainage are suitable for the type and
density of development and uses contemplated.
(4) The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supplY, storm drainage, sewage
transportation, erosion control and all other services, facilities and improvements othenvise required in this

(6) The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record or with easements established ry
judgment of a court.
(7) The proposed subdivision will not have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable development of
neighboring land.
(8) The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if a'!)! of the following exists:
a. Lack of adequate stormwater drainage.
b. Lack of adequate roads.
c. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer .[Jstems.
d. Lack of adequate offsite public improvements or support .[Jstems.
In the review of the standards for fInal plat as outlined, it appears that the request is consistent with
all of these standards.
Analysis
An Administrative Subdivision by Simple Plat is permitted when the existing property has a metes
and bounds description, where the result will be four or fewer lots, and does not require dedication
of public right-of-way for purposes of gaining access, and the property has not been previously
subdivided. The subject site meets this criterion; the applicant is requesting approval of an
Administrative Subdivision to create two lots that are consistent with zoning and the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan designates this lot as Urban Residential. The Urban Residential is
intended for low density residential. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Lots / density - According to the Comprehensive Plan, Rural Residential is for low density
development with a gross density of 1 unit per acre.
As proposed Lot 1 will be 2.5 acres and Lot 2 will be 2.6 acres, both consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Natural Resources
Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) - Indicates Forest Communities. The site is heavily wooded
with signifIcant topography. The applicant should try to preserve as many trees as possible.
Parks
A 15 foot trail easement along Proctor Road is recommended.

RE: Acorn Woods
Dear Ms. Cartney:
\ Thanks for the drawing of the preliminary plat of Acorn Woods. Mr. Weishalla has been in
contact with our office; in May 2007 he applied for and was granted an access permit for
the property to the north, but I had not reviewed any of the details. At that time he
indicated his desire to subdivide the larger lot, which would become Acorn Woods, so our
permit person covered the County's conditions for subdividing. Our conditions are that the
existing access will remain unaltered and serve as a shared driveway. Easements
satisfactory to the City are required. The County requires 50' of dedicated right of way.
The mylars shall have the limited access symbol applied to the drawing. The owner is
required to purchase swing away mailbox standards. The owner is required to improve
sight distance from the access by cutting trees to satisfy the May permit.
The final plat drawing along with payment of plat checking fees must be presented to the
County Surveyor along with a recent title commitment for final plat check before releasing
the document for mylars. The limited access symbol must also be applied to the drawing,
please allow a 30 foot opening for the residential access. Please call their office with any
questions or comments (763-241-7004).
Sincerely,
Richard D. Corbin

Re: Access Permit No. 07-77-21;
Dear Tom and Janet Weishalla;
The access permit that you applied for to County Highway 77 (CH 77) has been
approved. The access must be constructed to conform to the standards of the
Sherburne County Public Works Department.
Per our meeting at your site (5/23/2007) you will need to construct the access
perpendicular to CH 77 at the site agreed upon (near the cedar tree). To meet current
county standards you are responsible to grade the driving top of the access as to not
allow any drainage onto CH 77. A 15" minimum diameter corrugated metal culvert will
be required in the right of way under your access. To match the existing ditch section
and to accommodate a 15 foot driving top the culvert must be 40 feet long from end of
safety apron to end of safety apron. The safety aprons must be 1:6 (vertical: horizontal)
and have safety grates installed. The slopes of the new access must be constructed at
the 1:6 slope also and have seeded topsoil in place.
Per our discussions at the site there will be required right of way clearing, mainly
consisting of trees leaning into the right of way.
Please notify our department two weeks in advance for installation of the mailbox
setting.
Enclosed is the original Access to County Highway Permit Application. Please carefully
read the requirements on the backside of the permit. All requirements must be met
for final inspection approval.
After construction is completed, date and sign the bottom portion of the application and
return it to the Sherburne County Public Works. Upon final inspection the $100.00
Access Bond Fee will be returned to you. Please check your return address for proper
bond fee return!
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at 763-241-7012. Thank you for
your cooperation.
