Memo to the Mayor and City Council/AS 00-3 & EV 00-3 May 10, 2000 Page 2 Analysis The plat of Brentwood was approved in 1980. Park dedication was collected at the time of approval. Administrative Subdivsion The purpose of the proposed subdivision is to reconfigure the line separating Lots 5 & 6, Block 2 Brentwood Addition. Both lots are currently vacant. The existing lot line separating the two lots runs in a north-south direction, with the "short side" of the lots fronting on Brentwood Lane. The new configuration would turn the lot line almost 90 degrees to a more east-west direction. The lot area (approximate) of the lots in their current configuration is: Lot 6:2.05 acres Lot 5:2.63 acres The lots were approved at this size on the original plat. The proposed lot areas are: Parcel A: 2.25 acres (northerly lot) Parcel B: 2.43 acres (southerly lot) No additional land is available to increase the lot areas; adjacent lots are built upon. The lots are encumbered by a 240-foot Northern States Power power line easement and three areas of drainage and utility easements. In order to construct a house on Lot 5 in its current configuration, a drainage and utility easement must be vacated. With the exception of the area within the power line easement, the lots are heavily wooded with a mix of oak, aspen, birch, and sumac. Care will be required to minimize impact to trees outside of the construction area. The topography is rolling, especially on Lot 6. Lot 5 should require little filling or grading for the building pad. Additional drainage and utility easements are required along the separating lot line, and the existing west and north lot lines. The City Engineer further addresses grading and drainage issues in his memo. No soil borings have been provided for septic system construction purposes at this time. These should be provided prior to the recording of the subdivision.
