SCHWAB <br /> COUNTY PLANNING COORDINATOR <br /> TO: HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> SUBJECT: PROPOSED PLAT REQUESTED BY MR E. B. KUNTZ <br /> DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 1972 <br /> The request is to subdivide approximately five acres into four lots. The <br /> property is located in Section 31 just north of the Oakshore Park Develop- <br /> ment. I have visited the site and the property to the west of Ethan Avenue <br /> is low and swampy. The property to the east of Ethan Avenue is generally <br /> high and semi-rolling. The preliminary plan does not contain any contours <br /> so it is difficult to judge lot suitability except from a general on-site <br /> inspection. The three lots proposed east of Ethan Avenue should be build- <br /> able. <br /> The soil conditions in this area are very well suited for on-site sewage <br /> disposal and percolation rate should be less than thirty minutes. Mr Kuntz <br /> is proposing a road along the north line of his property, this road would <br /> terminate at a cul-de-sac approximately 600 feet east of Ethan Avenue. <br /> The proposed right-of-way should follow the north line of the property to <br /> the end of a cul-de-sac. This would eliminate the small, unusable area <br /> as it appears on the preliminary plat. Where the road jogs the right-of • <br /> - <br /> way would follow that jog so that the road can shift southerly to swing <br /> around a low, swampy area. <br /> Regarding the proposed lot layout, I see no problems relating to the three <br /> lots east of Ethan Avenue which as platted should be Lots 1, 2 and 3 of <br /> Block 1. By holding the road along the north property line in this area <br /> there would always be the possibility of it then continuing north and back <br /> west if this was desired sometime in the future as the property to the north <br /> develops. The lot as proposed on the west side of Ethan Avenue, which <br /> is referred to as Lot 1, is not a buildable lot in my opinion. Therefore, <br /> as part of the plat it should be referred to as Outlot A rather than having <br /> a numerical designation which generally means the lot would be buildable. <br /> WHERE MINNESOTA WAS BORN <br />
