2 • November 12, 2019: o Resolution No. 19-144 approving lot area variance o Resolution No. 19-145 approving street setback variance o Resolution No. 19-146 approving preliminary plat ANALYSIS This staff report provides a comparison of the approved preliminary plat and the proposed final plat. Changes in the plans are either narratively described or shown as strikethrough. Overall, the final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat. History The subject site was originally platted in 1982 as Lot 1, Block 1 Reshanau Shores. The residential subdivision was not served by municipal water or sanitary sewer. In June of 2017, the City Council approved the 2017-2021 Street Reconstruction plan which included authorization to reconstruct West Shadow Lake Drive, Sandpiper, and Shadow Court. With approval of the street project, City staff began working with property owners to consider extension of municipal sanitary sewer and water services as part of the project. The extension of sanitary sewer service was pursued to eliminate use of 61 existing individual sewage treatment systems, most of which are non-conforming systems. To aid in this project, the City was successful in receiving a water quality grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District. In 2018, the City commenced the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project to reconstruct the street and install municipal water main and sanitary sewer. With the extension of public utilities, larger lots may be able to subdivide. In anticipation of such subdivision requests, in 2018, the City also rezoned several parcels, including the subject parcel, from R, Rural to R-1X, Single Family Executive Residential. Existing Site Conditions The residential lot contains the existing house and garage that were built in 1984, trees, grass, a shed, septic system, well, fire pit and wetland. The fire pit will be removed. The Certificate of Survey indicates Zimmerman Fine Sand and Lake Beaches soil. Groundwater was encountered at approximately 5 feet (EL 884.0). The parcel abuts Reshanau Lake and is subject to the requirements of the Shoreland Overlay Management District as detailed later in this staff report. Zoning The subject site was rezoned from R, Rural to R-1X, Single Family Exe cutive in 2018 with Ordinance No. 19-18 in conjunction with the West Shadow Lake Drive Street and Utility Improvement Project.
