• • • available width for the new parcel. Staff did suggest that he consider creating this 10 acre parcel on the west side of the existing home, however, that area contains a considerable amount of wetland with patches of upland limiting its usability. Additionally, Mr. Snell's parents have some outbuildings and fencing on this west side of their home which they would like to retain. For Council information, eleven (11) parcels were previously created on the south side of 62nd Street that do not meet the 330' width requirement. These lots were approved at a time when smaller lots were permitted. They include: • Six (6) lots @ 153' in width ( + / -) • One (1) lot @ 165' in width • One (1) lot @ 250' in width • Three (3) lots @ 150' in width (corner of Ware Road and 62nd Street) Staff is also concerned about the future extension of West Shadow Lake Road. This state aid route is indicated in our Transportation Plan as continuing from 62nd Street south to Co. Rd. J. some time in the future. The extension would need to be located somewhere within Mr. Snell's proposed 230 feet of frontage. Although it is unlikely that the City would extend this roadway without a development plan or request from the property owner we do need to consider the location of this future roadway when locating new buildings on the property. Mr. Snell indicated he has no intention of further development of the parcel at this time. In review of this subdivision and variance request we believe a hardship to the land does exist in the configuration of the wetland area and location of the septic system and drain field. There are eleven (11) existing lots on 62nd Street that are less that 330' in lot width and less than 10 acres in size. The proposed subdivision does meet the 10 acre area requirement and the 20% upland requirement. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this item at their June 14th meeting and recommended approval with the following conditions: 1. Additional right -of -way shall be dedicated for the future reconstruction of 62nd Street. Currently there is 16.5' of right -of -way from the centerline, the City would require an additional 23.5' along the entire frontage of both parcels to provide 40' of right -of -way as 62nd Street is classified as a State Aid Route with an 80' required right -of -way. 2. Any building construction on the 10 acre parcel shall be located a minimum of 100' from the west property line to avoid the future extension of West Shadow Lake Drive. 3. Park Dedication shall be collected as required in the Subdivision Ordinance.
