PP & Variance, Meadowvale Heights Page 4 March 19, 1993 • GRADING AND DRAINAGE Staff concurs with Mr. Maurer' s comments in his memo under item C, Grading Plan. Staff is recommending all site grading needed to accomplish drainage in the plat be done by the developer at the same time as the road grading and not left to individual builders to accomplish. LOT SIZES The property is zoned Ric, single family residential . Minimum lot sizes are 10, 000 square feet in size with a minimum of 80 feet of frontage, except corner lots which are required a minimum dimension of 100 ' along adjoining streets . There is an exception to the frontage requirement where lot lines do not run parallel . This is the case with cul-de-sac lots and lots on corners . The lots proposed in this plat appear to be adequate for lot size, but some lack proper frontage. Lot 38, Block 4, contains Mrs . Barnier' s existing house. The proposed lot lines around this house conform to the setbacks required in an Rlc zone, which are 10 feet side and rear and 30 411 feet front. Appropriate side, rear, and front yard drainage and utility easements will be required. FUTURE ROAD EXTENSIONS The developer has provided for a future road extension to access unsubdivided property lying north of his plat. This is an appropriate location for an extension of this street. There is an easement that runs from 192 1/2 Avenue (in the plat of M-Vale) easterly to the SW corner of this plat (adjacent to the railroad tracks) . Staff feels there is no need to make this connection. No provision has been made to access Mrs . Barnier' s western most 40 acres from this plat. Allowing for this would mean the elimination of at least 1 lot, but would also allow the City access to the adjacent wetland, if it is in City ownership. Also, a corridor for looping water lines to the western 40 acres may be necessary. Mrs . Barnier' s western 40 acres does have access via an easement off the end of the cul-de-sac on 192 1/2 Avenue ( in • the plat of M-Vale) . It may be more appropriate that this western 40 acres is accessed from the north when adjacent unsubdivided properties are platted.
