building permit was issued for the home, but the garage was already <br />constructed. <br /> <br />The existing garage is located in the Ogden Street NW right-of-way. Neither the <br />garage nor the outhouse meets setbacks. Currently, 189th Avenue NW and <br />Ogden Street NW are unimproved streets. Staff recommends that both the <br />garage and outhouse be moved to meet setbacks when Ogden Street is improved. <br /> <br />Additionally, the property has a planter located on the lot line between Tract A <br />and Tract B. Currently Tract B is vacant, but staff recommends that the planter <br />be moved to meet setbacks prior to recording the administrative subdivision. <br /> <br />Access <br /> <br />Staff recommends a ten (10) foot easement along Ogden Street NW, and five foot <br />drainage and utility easements along the side lot lines. These easements are <br />typically provided on single family lots when platted. Currently, both 189th <br />Avenue NW and Ogden Street NW are unimproved streets. Ogden Street NW <br />ends at Tract A, and will have to be extended in the future to provide access to <br />Tract B. At that time, the garage and outhouse on Tract A will be moved to <br />meet setbacks. <br /> <br />Natural Features <br /> <br />This property abuts the Elk River and, therefore, it is in the Urban River <br />Shoreland Management District. <br /> <br />The Shoreland Ordinance requires a 160 foot lot width for unsewered lots in the <br />Urban River District. Structure setback for this district is 100 feet from the <br />ordinary high water mark. The setback for the sewage treatment system is 75 <br />feet from the ordinary high water mark. <br /> <br />Although the two new lots do not meet the Shoreland Ordinance requirements <br />for minimum lot width or minimum lot size, they are significantly larger than <br />the existing lots. Any new buildings will be required to comply with all <br />setbacks. Staff believes this complies with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Park Dedication <br /> <br />Staff recommends a cash payment of $550.00 for the new lot being created. The <br />Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this proposal at their August 7, 1996, <br />meeting and recommended getting a thirty (30) foot easement to the river for a <br />canoe access. If the Council recommends establishing a thirty foot easement for <br />access to the river, the appropriate park dedication credit will be given. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\KENDRA\AS96-5.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
