DEC -08 -1997 11:48 NRC 612 595 9837 P.03/06 Although the discussions appear to have anticipated three lots, nothing in the discussions or improvment agreements appear to limit the subdivision of the IGmmes parcel to any particular number of lots. Subject to the ability to provide improvements consistent with City requirements, the applicant should be able to subdivide the property into five parcels as proposed. Such a subdivision would require the improvement of Gilander Lane along the front of the proposed lots to a 24 foot width. Those parcels are all significantly oversized, and would accommodate the additional right -of -way necessary to meet City standards. The primary impact would be on about six large oak trees identified on the survey, and additional fill necessary to move the building pads deeper into the proposed lots. With regard to utilities, the applicant is showing sanitary sewer and water access from the Gilander Lane frontage. The City Engineer and Public Works Director should comment on the acceptability of this arrangement. Drainage is proposed to be handled by the ditch adjacent to County Road 82, This would raise issues of an appropriate swabs along the west property line to avoid drainage from the plat flowing onto adjacent land to the east, capacity of theCounty ditch system, and any requirement for strorm ponding as a result of this development. The City Engineer should also review and comment on the drainage issue, Summary and Recommendation The proposed Gilanderi Addition consists of five single family lots, all of which exceed the City's R -1 zoning standards for lot area and width. However, Gilander Lane which would serve the southernmost two lots was not constructed with the intent to accommodate additional development or access. Instead, the public improvements anticipate three lots on this property, all of which would access the 24 foot section of Gilander Lane. As a result, we would recommend approval of the proposed Preliminary Plat for Gilanderi Addition with the following conditions: 1. Improvement of the portion of Gilander Lane along the frontage of the plat to include a 24 foot wide pavement section with curb and gutter, as well as the right - of -way necessary to accommodate the street. 2. Sanitary sewer and water provided to each of the lots in accordance with the requirements of the City Engineer and the Public Works Director. 3. Drainage from the plat controlled according to City policy, subject to the comments of the City Engineer. 4. Redesign of the lots and grading to accommodate the expanded right -of -way. Page 7
