January 25, 1978 Page 2 Cemprehensive P1an c7assifles the street as a~1nor ertertel. ' rOffic4al Rose staLed tha~ lot 6 is 252' iong and t30' deep and that if M~•. Eigenheer's plan of a cul-de-sac iwas to extend into the northerly property, tliree additionai 84' iots couTd be created with the ad~oining property owner. Lot 12 lias an existing single family home end garage fronting County Road I and both meet minimum setback requlrements with 8he proposed ptat. 4uts 2, 3, 4, 7 and B elt have 80' frontages and lots 16, 17 and 18 have 72' frontages which are below the 85' code requirement. Lots 2, 3 and 4 have 10,500 square feet, tots 7 and 8 have 10,400 square feet, lot 14 has 10,600 square feet and 1ot 20 has 10~700 square feet, which are all below the 11,000 square feet required by code. Lots 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are substandard in both ftrontage and square foatage. However, the present plat could be revised to create standard iots with 85' frontage and 11,OOQ square feet. Official Rose r~eported th~t the presented street plan creates a cul-de-sac appr~ximaCeiy 820' deep, wfiile for emergency purpases, cul-de-sacs are generaliy less than 300 feet deep. Mr. Eigenheer has provided for a 20 foot waikway and emergency easement betwean luts 10 and il to County Road I, which Staff has reviewed with Chief Fagerstrom and Chief Grabowski and concluded that the use of an emergency easement would be inadequate and most 1lkely presant probiems, such as having cars drive through, and keeping it open during the winter. A~onnection to County Road I direct7y sauth oF the cul-de-sac 7s not feusible due to t~e exis#ence of the St. Paul Water Works line at a high grade. However, it could 6e possible Co connect at the east property 11ne, due to a change in grade. "-~ Officiat Rose reported thaC Staff had consulted with Mr. ci~enheer and Keith Harstad, Che property owner to the north cancerning a 10oped street which would have kwo connections to proposed Edgewood Orive, one of which would be approximateiy at the aenter of the applicant's property and one at the comnon lot line between the two awners. The taoped system would create the same approximate number of lot,s and would create more footage of street, but provide; for a loop street system in the event of necessary r.mer3ency access. Official Rose also stated tbat evehtually a ho7diny pond tn the area will be necessary, and that the City cou1d assist the fi111rtg oo Pi~•. Eigenheer's ar Mr. Harstad's property, rather than having it hauled away. OYficiat Rose presented two ather alternatives, a connection to County Rqad I at the east property line or a connection to Oakwood Drive co the north, but stated that neither were very feasible or desirabie. Official Rose stated that with the approval of the plat, tdr. Eigenheer must be required to petit!on for servlces or insY.all them himself under the revision and inspection of the C1Ly, lncluding sewer, water, storm seaier, concrete curb and gutter. Under- . groundelectrical services and street 1lghts should b~ required of tha developer. The existing grade creates no unusual probiems for the deveiopment, but so11 condi- t9ons Gecome less desirable on the norther3y 100 teet. The easements shown on the preiiminary plat would be ad~quate but any revision to the plat would require Add1- tionai easemer~t censidaratiuns and revisions. `-J soilrcondltion$ke M~ke0lsontrepliedhthati herhad not~hadPitPcheckeddy~~en tested for Ccmmission t9ember Glazer asked if clearance would be required from the DNR because of
