P Plat, CherryHill Bluffs 2nd Page 2 March 19 , 1993 • considered by the City Council at the same meeting they consider the preliminary plat. Mr. Foster is also requesting variances for two streets in this plat; 1 . ) Evans Avenue, which is proposed to be a 1, 335 foot long permanent dead-end and, 2 . ) Freeport Avenue, which is proposed to be a 1,720 foot long temporary dead-end. This dead-end would be eliminated when MnDOT subdivides their maintenance site. LOT SIZES Although Lots 1, 2, and 3 of Block 2 lie within a PUD, the majority of the plat lies within the R-lc zone. Staff recommends R-lc standards are used throughout the plat. R-lc standards are a minimum lot size of 10, 000 square feet with 80 foot of frontage (increased to 100 feet for corner lots on both sides abutting the street) . Setbacks in the R-lc zone are 30 foot front, 10 foot side, and 10 foot rear. No lot sizes were provided, but staff recommends that the minimum square footage is verified prior to final plat. The preliminary plat incorrectly notes the minimum width is measured at the setback line only. Section 1008 . 14 (5) (b) states that the minimum width is required at the setback line • and also the right-of-way line except where the lot lines do not run parallel . The following lots do not meet this standard: 1 . Lots 7 and 12 of Block 4 2 . Lot 13 of Block 3 3 . Lot 1 of Block 13 (questionable if a cul-de-sac is added in this location) 4 . Lot 10 of Block 1 5 . Lots 12 and 13 of Block 1 ( if the adjacent Street is not moved southward and one of these lots is eliminated, it would result in a triple frontage lot) . MNDOT REVIEW Since this plat abuts Highway 169, MnDOT review is required. Staff has received comments back from MnDOT. Their two issues are drainage and noise. DRAINAGE Outlot D in the southeast corner of the plat is a retention area, which takes a large portion of the drainage from Deerfield Fourth. It currently does not have an outlet. Terry Maurer, City Engineer, comments on this in his attached memo dated March 16, 1993 . Staff concurs that an outlet from this . drainage area would be desirable, however, if piping is required, it is questionable who would be responsible for the cost.
