• • • Justin's Preserve page 4 Preliminary Plat/Development Stage Plan Lots: The new lot, Lot 2, wil be 3.86 acres, with 2.36 acres of upland. Lot 1, with the existing house, will be 10.16 acres, with approximately 1.5 acres of upland. These meet the minimum lot area. Variance: Lot 1 has only 69.95 feet of road frontage at the setback line. (Lot width is measured at the setback line.) Lot 2 has about 140' of width at the setback line. The odd configuration of the existing lot frontage at the corner of a road creates an unusual situation. moving the proposed lot line to the east may create problems fitting a driveway between the new lot line and the existing wetland. Shoreland: Baldwin Lake is a "recreational development" lake under the shoreland overlay ordinance. Minimum lot size is 20,000 sf with an 80' lot width. The proposed lots are large enough, though the lot width variance would be needed for Lot 1. Structures on sewered lots must be set back 75' from the ordinary high water level. The proposed house pad meets this requirement. Streets, Access: No new streets are needed. An existing driveway would be moved to remain completely on Lot 1. A new driveway will be needed for Lot 2. The driveways must be five feet from a property line. Parks: The subdivision ordinance includes park dedication requirements. Park dedication is $1665 per residential unit, less any land dedication. There is no land dedication needed. The park dedication will be $1665. Anoka County owns property that abuts the road on the west side of Rohavic Oaks 2nd Addition. The Anoka County trail map shows a future trail connecting to White Pine Road west of the site of the proposed plat. The additional house lot will not affect that future trail. Utilities: The existing house is connected to city water and sanitary sewer. The new house will connect as well. Grading and Stormwater Management: Wetlands cover the northern portion of the site. Drainage and utility easements will cover the wetlands. Easements also will be platted along property lines that do not run into wetlands. A Rice Creek Watershed District approval will be needed. Power Line Easement: There is an existing power line running along the southern edge of the property. There is a blanket easement over the entire property. The applicant is working on confining that easement. This will need resolution for final platting.
