acres into a 3.6 acre lot and a 5.6 acre lot.
Location
The property is located at 16110 Jarvis Street NW, Elk River, Mn. PID # 75-013-

Background
The property is zoned I2 and the surrounding properties are also zoned I2. The
adjacent property to the south has a house and a metal pole barn; the property
to the north is a residence; the property to the west is vacant and to the east is
Jarvis Street with residences on the east side of Jarvis.
The property currently has an existing single family house, a detached garage
and two other outbuildings. To the rear of the buildings associated with the
residence, there is an industrial building and outdoor storage area that is
13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
currently being used by Kober Excavating. On May 20, 1996, Kober Excavating
was granted a conditional use permit for outdoor storage at this site.
Natural Features
The residence, shop and outdoor storage area are located at the south end of the
property. The north half contains a wetland, pond and small cornfield and is
also lower than the south half with a three or four foot drop in elevation. There
is a significant row of mature pine trees along the rear or west property line and
some mature deciduous trees in the area around the house. The wetland area
will need to be delineated on the subdivision survey and encumbered with a
drainage and utility easement.
Lot Size
This proposed subdivision will split the property in such a way that the
industrial building and the outdoor storage area will be on one lot and the
residence will be on the other. The 3.6 acre lot (Parcel A) will contain the
residence and the 5.6 acre lot (Parcel B) will contain the shop and the outdoor
storage area. Parcel A will have 630 feet of frontage and parcel B will have 100
feet of frontage. The proposed lots comply with the dimensional requirements for
the I2 zone. However, the 25 foot setback requirement between the shop and the
proposed east property line of parcel B is not met. The survey shows 23.67 feet
between the shop and the property line. The proposed property line should be
shifted so that the setback requirement is met.
Access
Both parcels with be accessed from an existing driveway. This driveway will be
paved and there will be a 24 foot wide private driveway easement over the
existing driveway. These were included as conditions of approval for the
conditional use permit for the outdoor storage area. A cross access agreement,
incorporating the applicable conditions of the CUP for the outdoor storage,
should be prepared and implemented so that both lots will be able to utilize the
driveway.
Right of Way
There is currently 33 foot half right of way along Jarvis Street. The draft
Transportation Plan has identified Jarvis Street as a minor arterial and as such
it is recommended that the half right of way be expanded to 40 feet. Therefore,
an additional seven feet will need to be granted to the City by way of an
easement document.

Park and Recreation
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended a cash dedication for the
one new lot that is being created. The cash dedication for the new 3.6 acre lot
would be $6300.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the request by Roger Johnson
for an administrative subdivision to subdivide 9.2 acres into two lots with the
following conditions:
1. A grant of easement be prepared and executed granting an additional 7
feet of right of way along the west side of Jarvis Street.
2. Payment of park dedication fee in the amount of $ 6300 for the new lot
being created to be paid prior to recording the administrative subdivision.
3. Payment of surface water management fee in the amount of $ 2669.76 for
the new lot being created to be paid prior to recording the administrative
subdivision.
4. Any wetlands be delineated on the survey and drainage and utility
easements be in place over those wetlands.
5. A minimum 24 foot wide driveway easement be in place over the existing
driveway.
6. Proper cross access agreements for the existing driveway be prepared and
executed prior to recording the administrative subdivision.
7. Ten foot wide utility easements be granted along each property line.
8. The east property line of parcel B be shifted to the east so that there is a
25 foot setback between the metal building and the east property line.
9. The survey shows the location of the house and other buildings located on
parcel A.
