• <br />• <br />P & Z Meeting <br />Chavez Minor Subdivision <br />October 9, 2002 <br />subdiv. 1.F requires that all R -1 lots must be serviced by both services. As a result, the <br />existing house would be required to connect to sewer and water as a condition of <br />subdivision. To allow the parcel to be subdivided without connecting to City sewer and <br />water would be to exacerbate, or increase, its non - conformity. <br />Buildable Area <br />Both lots meet the minimum buildable area requirement of 10,800 square feet. <br />Easements <br />There are no easements noted on the survey submitted by the applicant. The City will <br />require the dedication of standard sized drainage and utility easements along all property <br />boundaries. <br />Additionally, as a point of information, there is a powerline that runs the length of the <br />property along White Pine Road. This powerline is not identified with any easements, <br />and is thus interpreted to exist within the road right -of -way. <br />City Services /Septic Issues <br />Parcel B will connect to City sanitary sewer and water, which is available via both <br />Laurene Avenue and White Pine Road. Parcel A, however, is not currently connected to <br />either City sanitary sewer or water. The City interprets Section 6, subdiv.1.F of the <br />zoning ordinance to require all R -1 lots to be serviced with City sanitary sewer and water. <br />As a result, the applicant would be required to connect to both services as a condition of <br />subdivision. <br />Access Issues <br />The driveway for Parcel A (the existing home) is currently via Laurene Avenue, running <br />across proposed Parcel B. As a result, if the minor subdivision is approved, the driveway <br />for Parcel A will need to be relocated to access White Pine Road, rather than Laurene <br />Avenue. <br />CONCLUSION <br />Staff would recommend approval, subject to the following conditions: <br />1. Connect the existing home to City sanitary sewer and water, per Section 6, <br />subdiv.1.F., prior to the recording of the Minor Subdivision with Anoka County. <br />2. Relocate the existing driveway for Parcel A to access White Pine Road, rather than <br />Laurene Avenue. <br />
