Howard R, Green Company May 10, 2004 File: 823700J-0240 Ms. Michele McPherson Director of Planning City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: SCHMELING ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDIVISION Dear Ms. McPherson: As requested, we have reviewed the Schmeling administretive subdivision as prepared by Advance Surveying and Engineering Company, and dated Apdl 20, 2004. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: The administrative subdivision creates two parcels frem the apprcximately ten-acre site. Parcel A is appreximately 7 ~ acres, and Parcel B, which contains the existing home site, is appreximately 2 ~ acres. The administrative subdivision should provide the right-of-way necessary for Cleveland Street (County Road 44) in accordance with the draft right-of-way plat prepared by Sherbume County. Sherbume County will likely require that the two parcels share a common ddveway to minimize access points onto the county road. The administrative subdivision should provide drainage and utility easements according to ordinance around the pedmetere of both sites. There is no topography provided anywhere on the ten-acres site. Sufficient topography should be provided on Parcel A to indicate a home site and a primary and secondary septic site. If any wetlands are located on the site, they should be delineated and a drainage and utility easement provided over them for protective purposes. The description of Parcel B refere to it as the south 330 feet of the entire parcel. Therefore, the bearing on the common lot line should be the same as the bearing on the perimeter lot lines. This should be checked and corrected as necessary. Both parcels meet the minimum dimensional requirements for frontage along a public street and total lot area, given the current zoning.
