<br />Timothy Scheel <br />June 20,1994 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />ACCESS <br /> <br />Currently, access to the lot is via a private driveway. It is unclear where <br />public street ends and private driveway begins. The City of Elk River has <br />maintained snow removal of this private drive. Mr. Scheel is proposing to <br />dedicate an easement for street-right-of-way to extend 213th Avenue to <br />provide access to both proposed parcels. Therefore, whatever confusion there <br />may have been in the past relative to the status of the road will be cleared up <br />with this application. <br /> <br />In addition, as part of this subdivision request, it would be appropriate to <br />have the roadway easement be extended to the northerly limits of the <br />proposed subdivision. Even though the street will not be constructed (i.e., <br />bituminous surface), an easement will be in place for any future subdivision <br />to the north. <br /> <br />ZONING <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The area is currently zoned A-I, Agricultural Conservation. Both proposed <br />parcels meet the minimum lot size requirement. City Code requires a three- <br />hundred (300) foot setback of all accessory structures in an A-I zoned district. <br />The proposal indicates that an accessory structure, a barn, is within fifty (50) <br />feet from a proposed street right-of-way easement. <br /> <br />There are existing housing units located on both the East and West Parcels. <br />The proposed East Parcel contains an existing housing structure and a <br />mobile home unit. All housing units were located on the lot prior to the <br />City's annexation of the property. Current code requirements only allow one <br />housing structure per lot. Therefore, to meet City Codes, one of the <br />structures would need to be removed from the easterly parcel or further <br />subdivided to create a third parcel. The current housing structures would be <br />considered legal non-conforming uses until further subdivision of the <br />property, removal of an existing housing structure, or damage of greater than <br />50% occurs to an existing housing structure. City records indicate that a <br />building permit has been issued for remodeling of the northerly housing <br />structure. <br /> <br />Located on the proposed West Parcel is a portion of a large wetland, as well <br />as a single family home. Staff does not anticipate the wetland as an issue <br />with this subdivision. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />scheel. troy <br />
