13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 August 11, 2005 File: 226-080P Mr. Chris Leeseberg City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River MN 55330 RE: JOSEPH GOETZ AND CYNDI GILBERT LOT SPLIT Dear Mr. Leeseberg: We have reviewed the revised site plan for the Goetz/Gilbert lot split of Lot 6, Block 2 Deerfield First Addition as prepared by Taylor Land Surveyors, Inc. The revised plan was dated August 10, 2005. As you are aware, our previous memo dated July 13, 2005 recommended denial of this lot split because of the buildable parcel that would have been created was too small to support on-site sewer and water, in our opinion. The new drawing provides the additional information we requested, plus proposes an easement vacation on the newly created lot creating a buildable area of substantially more square footage. Based on this new information, we are now prepared to recommend approval of the lot split with one condition. That condition would be that the wetland on the newly created parcel be identified and the existing drainage easement be vacated up to the wetland boundary and to within 20 feet of the south property line. This will maximize the buildable area on the newly created lot. The original drawing had a buildable area of approximately 0.6 acres. We believe with the easement vacation up to the wetland and within 20 feet of the south property line, the buildable area will expand to over 0.8 acres. This is a much more adequate size to support a home and a primary and secondary- septic system, along with a well location. The actual location for these facilities will be required to be identified at the time of building permit application. If you have any questions regarding this information, please call.
