• Sandpiper Estates 2nd Addition to Rlb to better reflect a large lot„ non-city <br /> sewered residential parcels. <br /> WESTERN AREA IMPROVEMENT <br /> The City is in the process of extending city utilities to the County Courthouse <br /> property via 183rd Avenue. The proposed improvements will involve the City <br /> extending a trunk line through the Sandpiper Addition. However, at this <br /> time no laterals will extend into the subdivision. By not extending laterals <br /> into the development, property owners will be required to have a minimum of <br /> one-acre lots with 160 feet of frontage. No lot splits will be allowed until <br /> lateral sewer and water are extended into the subdivision. The future <br /> extension of lateral sewer and water to the Sandpiper Addition must result <br /> either a petition from a majority of the property owners or environmental <br /> concerns which would force the City to make the decision to extend the <br /> utilities. <br /> SANDPIPER ESTATES AND SANDPIPER ESTATES 2ND ADDITION <br /> The Sandpiper Estates Additions were platted in 1986 and 1987 into 44 <br /> single family lots with one-acre minimum lot sizes. Approximately half the <br /> • parcels have been built upon and all have private wells and septic systems. <br /> All the homes were constructed in the late 80's or early 90's with new septic <br /> systems. A septic system, if properly maintained, has an expected useful life <br /> of 10 to 15 years and possibly longer. The City has and will continue to <br /> advise future property owners and builders about the future extension of <br /> utilities and encourage residents to locate their homes on one side of the <br /> parcel to allow for further subdivision once city utilities are extended into the <br /> subdivision. <br /> R1B ZONING DISTRICT <br /> The request involves rezoning Sandpiper Estates and Sandpiper Estates 2nd <br /> Addition from Rlc (Single Family Residential) to Rlb (Single Family <br /> Residential). The Rlb zoning district allows a minimum non-sewered lot size <br /> of 1 acre and a minimum city sewer lot size of 12,000 square feet in size. All <br /> the parcels in the Sandpiper Additions are a minimum of one acre in size. <br /> Therefore, no lots will be considered non-conforming. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> It is recommended that the request by the City of Elk River to rezone <br /> Sandpiper Estates and Sandpiper Estates 2nd Addition be approved based on <br /> III the following findings: <br /> s:council:zc94-12 <br />
