• • • Parcel C into West Shadow Ponds. That development was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board and continued at the November 23rd, 1998 City Council meeting. Mr. Carlson subsequently requested a delay in Council action which is still pending. This minor subdivision request is intended to finalize purchase agreements between Mr. Carlson and the Junes and Rehbeins. The resulting parcels, new C and F, would be combined with the 1997 Parcel C and held for future development (West Shadow Ponds). Parcels B and E would remain as existing homesteads as allowed within the Zoning Ordinance, Section 3. Subd. 3., 2.b.2 which reads, in part: "Habitable single family homes constructed prior to July 13, 1992 may reduce their lot size to a minimum of one (1) acre if the balance of the property results in a parcel of ten (10) acres, or is serviced by public sewer...." Parcel B is 6.69 acres with a considerable amount of wetland. According to the ordinance, parcels of property in the Rural zoning district must contain at least 20% upland area. This parcel contains 1.29 acres of upland and 5.4 acres of wetland. We believe the .04 acre shortage in upland is insignificant in this case. Parcel E contains 1 acre with more than 20% upland. The current right -of -way for 62 "d Street is 33'. The City Engineer has recommended a total of 40' of right -of -way north of the 62' Street centerline. This will require submittal of a new survey document prior to Council action dedicating an additional 23.5' along Parcels B, E & F for furture reconstruction of 62 "d Street. This new survey should provide one (1) acre exclusive of right -of -way for Parcel E. The two parcels to be held for future development contain 8.92 acres (Parcel F) and 1.67 acres (new Parcel C). Staff would recommend that these parcels be combined with the 1997 Parcel C (8.25 acres). Parcels B and E currently contain on -site septic systems and space for alternate systems should the need arise. These parcels also contain adequate frontage on a public street (62 "d Street). The property owners have indicated a willingness to connect to City sewer and water when, and if, it becomes available. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this subdivision at their April 12, 2000 meeting and recommend approval with the following condition: 1. The newly created Parcels C and F be combined into one tax parcel with the previously approved (1997) Parcel C. 2. Additional right -of -way is dedicated for 62nd Street to provide 40' from the centerline along Parcels B, E, & F. Parcel E is adjusted to provide one(1) acre in area exclusive of right -of -way.
