ITEM 13 <br /> t <br /> f TO: PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> kRiver FROM: STEPHEN ROHLF, BUILDING AND ZONING <br /> ADMINISTRATOR <br /> DATE: MARCH 17, 1993 7-a <br /> SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDMENT, SECTION <br /> 1008 . 14 (5) ( j ) LENGTH OF DEAD-END <br /> ROADS BY THE CITY OF ELK RIVER/ <br /> PUBLIC HEARING <br /> In 1992 , 5 of 9 variance requests were regarding the length of <br /> dead-end roads . Attachment 1 is a summary of 1992 variance <br /> requests . These 5 variances dealt with 11 different roadways <br /> in 5 different plats . The following is a more detailed <br /> breakdown of these 11 roadways . <br /> a. Hillside Estates <br /> Variances to exceed the City' s maximum length of a <br /> dead-end road were approved for 6 roads in Hillside <br /> Estates . One road services the commercial portion of <br /> the plat. It was approved to be 1, 100 feet in <br /> S length. The length needed to serve the lots in the <br /> first phase of Hillside Estates was only 385 feet, <br /> but the road was brought to the plat boundary to <br /> provide for future extension. Four other residential <br /> roads were given approval of variances to be 890 <br /> feet, 660 feet, 820 feet, and 670 feet in length. <br /> These 4 roads are temporary and will be eliminated in <br /> future phases of this project. The length of these 4 <br /> roads could have been reduced if they stopped where <br /> they gave access to the last lots in the first phase. <br /> The last road was 980 feet in length. Future phases <br /> will reduce the length of this dead-end to 663 feet. <br /> This 663 foot future dead-end is the only permanent <br /> dead-end of the 6 dead-end roads in Hillside Estates . <br /> b. Lake Point Shores <br /> Two proposed roads in this plat were to exceed the <br /> maximum length of a dead-end. One was 963 feet and <br /> the other 1, 135 feet. Both of these dead-end roads <br /> would be classified as temporary. Development of <br /> property adjacent to Lake Point Shores would have <br /> eliminated these dead-ends in the future. This <br /> request was withdrawn by the petitioner. <br /> Sc. David Gow <br /> Mr. Gow is proposing an 1, 100 foot, temporary <br /> dead-end road that would be eliminated in future <br /> 720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
