Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council 3 February 1982 Page Two 3. Access. Although the rear lot will have the required street frontage, a substantial portion of the east side of the property is taken up by a major drainageway easement. Due to the topography and existing vegetation adjacent to the easement, the applicant has requested that access to the back lot be approved along the east side. Since the existing house on the site already has one driveway onto Viking Drive, a variance is required for the second. In view of the topography and existing trees, the variance is considered to he appro- priate and even desirable. The easement should be wide enough so that the driveway can be five feet from the west lot line. RECOMMENDATION From a planning perspective, the proposed subdivision is considered acceptable. For the reasons presented above, the variance for two driveways is also recom- mended. These approvals should be subject to review by the City Engineer and City Attorney and should be considered preliminary until such time as the applicant submits a proper certificate of survey. The survey must show any existing easements and include new easements for drainage and utilities along lot lines as per Section 1006.040 (a) of the Subdivision Ordinance. It is also recommended that no building permit be issued until the approved survey has been recorded with the County. cc: Joe Chlebeck Tom Sweeney Don Carley Glen Van Guilder j
