Howard R, Green Company <br /> <br />June 11, 2001 <br />File: 814810J-0240 <br /> <br />Mr. Scott Harlicker <br />Senior Planner <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />PO Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: WILLIAM ZACHARDA ADMINISTRAVE SUBDIVISION <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the proposed administrative subdivision for William Zacharda. The <br />proposed subdivision takes approximately 35 acres of land located south of County Road 33 and divides it <br />into three parcels. Parcel A contains approximately 25 acres, Parcel B is 6.04 acres in size, and Parcel C <br />is 2.58 acres in size. All three of these parcels exclude the 50 feet shown for the right-of-way along County <br />Road 33. The existing home is contained in Parcel B. <br /> <br />Parcel B has a 66-foot wide ingress and egress easement through the majority of Parcel C. No <br />topography is provided on any of the parcels. Given the ingress and egress easement through Parcel C <br />and the lot's relatively narrow width, it is questionable where the building site, together with the primary and <br />alternate septic locations, lies on that parcel. There is a large area of Parcel A which is designated as Iow <br />land. It is unclear whether this has actually been delineated as a wetland. There is, however, a drainage <br />easement provided around this area. The area also encroaches in the north half of Parcel B. This <br />appears to be the reason for the shared driveway between Parcels B and C. It appears that there is a <br />substantial area on Parcel A (approximately 200 feet wide) adjacent to County Road 33 that is suitable for <br />the building site and septic locations. Again, no topography is provided for this area. <br /> <br />Five-foot drainage and utility easements are provided on the common lot lines and side and rear lot lines. <br />Ten-foot drainage and utility easements are provided on the front lot lines. The perimeter lot lines, <br />excluding the front, should have the drainage and utility easements widened to 10 feet. <br /> <br />Since this administrative subdivision lies adjacent to County Road 33, it should be reviewed by Sherburne <br />County. It does appear, however, that the administrative subdivision will meet Sherburne County <br />requirements, since it provides 50 feet of right-of-way along the County road, and of the three parcels, two <br />share a common driveway. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
