MA2006-002: Consideration of a Major Subdivision of 8360 Long Lake Road. Applicant: Matthew Hofmann Address: 15472 Fillmore Street NW, Elk River, MN 55330 Planning Associate Heller presented an application for a major subdivision of 8360 Long Lake Road. Since this is a major subdivision, it would be done in a three-step process. She presented the preliminary plat, which would also go to Council. Planning Associate Heller stated this is approximately a 1.5-acre lot with one house on it. Mr. Hofmann has a purchase agreement with the landowner and proposes subdividing the lot into three single-family lots. These would match up with the properties directly behind them so the property lines would be along the same lines. The area is currently zoned single family residential. The proposed subdivision would be consistent with the existing zoning of the property. All lots shown on the preliminary plat satisfy the minimum requirements of a 75-foot lot width and 11,000 square foot lot area. All three lots would be almost identical in size at 83’x 270’ or approximately 0.51 acre. The house currently on the property would be demolished and three new single-family homes built. Planning Associate Heller stated the Comprehensive Plan does designate this area to be single-family detached housing. The proposed subdivision would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Associate Heller reported there are no wetlands on this property. There do not appear to be any drainage issues on this property. Planning Associate Heller referred to the preliminary plat and pointed out this plat does dedicate the necessary perimeter easements. There is a 45-foot drainage and utility easement along the west property line that would cross all three lots and remain in this area. Planning Associate Heller indicated the three new lots would have access onto Long Lake Road, which is a County-owned road. This street is adequate to handle the small amount of added traffic
