/ ~ ~1~ R1 ITEM 8.16 MEMORANDUM ~~~ TO: Mayor & City Council ~/ FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planner- ~~. DATE: July 17, 1995 SUBJECT: Request for Establishing a Private Road by David Hauan, Case No. GZ 95-2. Issue Consider a Private Roadway Agreement for David Hauan to accommodate further development of his property. Overview Mr. Hauan is requesting approval of a Private Roadway Agreement to allow the use (and possible sale) of his property. The proposed use that is expected to occur is an outdoor storage area that would be operated by Jim Charest. • Before a new business or use of the property can occur proper access to the property needs to be accomplished. Since there is no public right-of--way or improved road providing access to the property, one of the options would be to approve a Private Roadway Agreement, which is being requested by Mr. Hauan. Background There have been several actions leading up to this point in the process. The following is a summary of staffs understanding of the history of events, based on conversations with Mr. Hauan and information contained within city records: • In August of 1978, Mr. Hauan purchased the 38 plus or minus-acre parcel along with a 30-foot driveway easement from highway 10 to the southeast corner of the parcel. (Exhibit J) • In March of 1979, two 5-acre parcels were divided off the 38-acre parcel. There are no records of the city approving this subdivision. (Exhibit I) • On September 3, 1985, the City of Elk River approves an administrative subdivision for John Weicht to adjust the property line of one of the 5-acre parcels. In addition, the city required a Private Roadway Agreement providing for emergency access to the subject property (Exhibits G and H). • • On May 10, 1995, staff meets with Mr. Hauan and informs him that permits would be necessary prior to any work being done on his property.
