Located on the subject property is a single family dwelling of 24'x36' and a shed
of 56'x68'. A 240' Northern States Power utility easement crosses the parcels
adjacent to County Road No. 33. The subject property is high and, based on
aerial photo interpretation, appears to have been farmed in row crops on a
regular basis.
The proposed lots meet the dimensional requirements for lot width and area for
the Rla, Single Family Zoning District.
County Access Requirements
Sherburne County Public Works has reviewed the administrative subdivision and
has indicated that the proposed 50 feet of right-of-way dedication will meet the
County requirements. This right-of-way will need to be granted in fee title to
Sherburne County. They have also required, in their letter, that Parcels A and B
share a single driveway. Staff would recommend that cross-access easements
be recorded against Parcels A and B, acknowledging a shared driveway onto
County Road No. 33.
The City Engineer has reviewed the administrative subdivision and has observed
that the existing home does not comply with the setback requirements and
therefore, would be nonconforming. To correct this situation, a variance would
need to be granted or the property owner would need to acknowledge that if the
home were to be damaged beyond 50 percent of its value, it could not be rebuilt
in its current location without a variance.
Park Dedication/Storm Water Manaqement Fees
The Park and Recreation Commission, at its January 10, 2001 meeting,
recommended that cash dedication be accepted for this subdivision.
Surface water management fees at the rural rate will be required to be paid.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the administrative subdivision
request AS 01-01, to create three parcels in the Rla Single Family Residential
zoning district, with the following conditions:
1. The dedication of 50 feet of right-of-way shall be completed in fee title.
2. The applicant shall pay Park Dedication fees for two parcels.
3. The applicant shall pay Surface Water Management fees for two parcels.
4. The applicant shall execute Grant of Easement Agreements for drainage and
utility easements over the parcels.

RE: MILT TUTTLE ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDIVISION
Dear Ms. McPherson:
As requested, we have reviewed the administrative subdivision for Milt Turtle. The
document was prepared by Meyer-Rohlin, Inc., and was dated November 30, 2000. The
administrative subdivision divides one large parcel into three smaller parcels, two of
them 2.5 acres in size and the larger one approximately 6 acres. Based on our review,
we would offer the following comments:
The administrative subdivision shows a dedication of 50 feet of right-of-way for
County Road 33. This administrative subdivision should be reviewed by
Sherburne County to ensure that this 50-foot dedication is adequate and also for
their comments regarding driveway locations. We are reasonably confident that
Sherburne County will require joint driveway access for two of these lots.
It appears that the house located on Parcel C is too close to the property line. If
this building has not received a vadance in the past, it will require a vadance with
this administrative subdivision.
We have talked with Meyer-Rohlin regarding the legal descriptions for the
parcels. We have suggested to them that the legals be rewritten because in their
current state, they are rather vague.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company

RE: January Plat Comments
Dear Ms. McPherson;
After reviewing drawings that have been received in our office during the past several weeks we
offer the following comments:
We support Milt Turtle's (County Highway 33) request to split his land and create parcels A
and B. We required 17 feet of additional of right of way, be granted in fee title (for a total of 50
feet) and that parcel A and B share access on their common lot line.
We offer no comment on the plats for Fox Haven and Ridges of Rice Lake or the plan for
Elk River Muffler and Brake.
Sherbume County does not oppose the access for Twin Lake Townhomes 2"4 Addition. An
access permit will be required with the following conditions:
1) The access must align with the proposed Trott Brook access.
2) Right and left turn lanes with necessary length and dimension.
3) Make required pavement marking changes.
4) Pay the signage fee required to bring this segment up to standard.
