Planning & Zoning Board April 10, 1996 Mr. Johnson asked if the driveway access on the west side needed to be a joint access for further development. Mr. Wessel stated that this was not necessary in this case as a ponding area exists to the north. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to approve the site plan review with the conditions listed in the staff report, excluding No. 7 and renumbering No. 8 to No. 7. Mr. Robinson seconded the motion. All voted in favor. Motion carried. D. Thomas Vacha, 7702 Lake Drive, Minor Subdivision Ms. Wyland reviewed the staff report indicating that the request is to split .31 acres from one parcel and add it to another. The rearrangement of lot lines would provide a lot .72 acres in size and 1.1 acres in size. Both lots are currently considered non -conforming as there are no utilities available and a 10 acre minimum is required by City Ordinance. Staff has recommended approval of the project with the following conditions: 1. Parcel B shall be legally combined with Parcel A and recorded as such with Anoka County. Parcel B shall not be considered a buildable lot. At some time in the future, when sewer and water become available to 77th Street, Mr. Vacha could then resubdivide the site and provide an additional building site if so desired. 2. The 10 -foot drainage and utility easement located on the west side of Parcel B shall be vacated by the City Council. 3. Ten -foot drainage and utility easements shall be provided on all property lines as required by the Subdivision Ordinance. Chair Schaps asked if the property would be required to hook up to City utilities with further subdivision. Ms. Wyland stated that Parcel B could not be split from Parcel A without connecting to City utilities. Mr. Herr asked if Mr. Vacha intends to expand his business onto Parcel B. Ms. Wyland stated that it is her understanding that Parcel B will be used to provide a buffer until sewer and water are available. The existing site is zoned Rural and Mr: Vacha would not be allowed to expand without rezoning to a business category.
