• • PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING July 12, 1989 feet. All of the lots, with one exception meet the city's minimum standards for width and depth. The exception is Lot 18 of Block 5. This corner lot is located at the intersection of Sunrise Drive and Elm Street. The lot is 104 feet wide and city code requires 105 feet of width. The 12 inch shortage is caused by: A. Anoka County requiring 60 feet of right -of -way. The county is actually getting 1.8 acres of land for road purposes. B. Surveying vagaries also cause problems. The east side of the applicants land is 1316 feet and the west side is only 1313 feet. The plat will be reviewed by the city's Park Board on August 7th. The applicant wishes to develop this plat in two, possibly three phases. The first phase would be to develop the western section of the plat. John Miller stated the plan has several planning restraints that limit street pattern options. They are listed below: 1. The parcel is a flat, square piece of land. 2. A county road is adjacent to the land on the north - no driveway access there. 3. A MSA street is on the east side - no driveway access there. 4. A sewer easement crosses the land from north to south approximately 270 feet east of the west boundary. 5. A subdivision south of the parcel has no access coming north to the land at issue. Despite all of these problems, the applicant has prepared a subdivision design that provides three (3) cul -de -sacs, an eyebrow, short residential streets, and only three double - fronting lots. And, with the three double- fronting lots, two are wooded and all three have an extra ten feet of depth to permit additional screening for the homes. The board discussed Ron Stahlberg's letter dated July 7, 1989 After considerable discussion, a motion was made. MOTION: Alan Irwin moved to recommend to City Council approval of the Preliminary Plat for Good Value Homes,
