• • Planning & Zoning Board March 12, 1997 Page 17 3. Proper building permits be obtained for any future construction on the properties. The motion carried unanimously, 5 -0. H. Minor Subdivision, Robert Ecker /Mary Ann McDougal, 6116 Baldwin /Oakwood Lane Ms. Wyland stated that the minor subdivision request on Oakwood Lane is to allow construction of a single family home. The property is 5.46 acres in size, and the new lot will exceed all zoning ordinance requirements. The property is within the MUSA and zoned R-1X with single family development indicated on the Comprehensive Plan. Utilities are available for the lots to be created. Mr. Ecker has provided a sketch plan that indicated how the parcel would further be subdivided at a later time. The sketch plan appears to meet all requirements of the subdivision ordinance and zoning code. Staff is recommending approval with the conditions listed in the March 6, 1997 staff report. Ms. McDougal stated that she pays taxes on 5.62 acres. Ms. Wyland responded that the new survey may not have taken into account the utility easement. Mr. Mike Ecker stated that the deep lot is required because there is a 10 percent grade. The house must be set back far enough to make sure the driveway is not too steep. Mr. Gelbmann made a MOTION, seconded by Ms. Dahl, to recommend approval of the minor subdivision with the following conditions as outlined in the March 6, 1997 staff report: 1. A $500 Park Dedication Fee shall be required prior to recording the subdivision with Anoka County. 2. Proper building permits shall be obtained for any construction on the site. 3. A Cash Escrow deposit be posted prior to connection to public utilities to insure proper restoration of Oakwood Lane. 4. Should the existing septic system serving the McDougal property fail, the City Engineer may require connection to public utilities in lieu of repair or replacement of the existing system. The motion carried unanimously, 5 -0.
