Based on our <br />review and C9mments received at the staff review meeting, we would offer the following <br />comments: <br /> <br />1. The plat of Sunrise Park proposes to create two lots out of one existing lot. The existing <br />lot is zoned C3 and contains the mini storage facility located along East Trunk Highway <br />10. The lot that would be created would be on Yale Street and is proposed to be <br />rezoned to Rla, a residential zoning. Rla is a Rural Residential zoning with a minimum <br />lot size of 2 1h acres. The proposed lot to be created is only 0.79 acres, much less than <br />the minimum lot size. Therefore, it will require a variance for lot size. The proposed lot <br />is adjacent to lots within the Mississippi Heights Addition, which is a rural residential <br />subdivision platted in 1976. The four lots located immediately south of the proposed <br />new lot are actually only 0.55 acres in size. Therefore, the proposed substandard lot be <br />created is actually consistent in size with lots in the immediate area. <br /> <br />2. The proposed residential lot be created is relatively long and narrow with 256 feet of <br />frontage on Yale Street and a north lot line of only 86 feet in depth, and a south line with <br />a depth of 190 feet. The lot is wooded and has fairly severe topography, sloping from <br />Yale Street down towards the mini storage buildings located to the east. <br /> <br />Since this is a rural residential lot, there will need to be a well and septic system located <br />on the property. The septic system will need to identify a primaty area and a secondaty <br />area, should the primaty area fail. The site plan sketch shows the primaty and secondaty <br />septic systems to be located parallel to a steep slope of approximately 15-20%.
