RACHELS WOOD --PRELIMINARY PLAT SOUTHEAST CORNER OF DODD AND 120TH ST W MAYOR Vernon Napper COUNCILMEMBERS Sheila Klassen John Oxborough Harry Willcox Dennis Wippermann ADMINISTRATOR Stephan Jilk RECOMMENDED MOTION: A motion to recommend approval of the preliminary plat subject to the revised right-of-way dedication. BACKGROUND: A preliminary plat of Rachels Wood Subdivision has been submitted by Donovan and Sandra Tousignant. Rachels Wood is a two lot subdivision of 11.13 acres located on the southwest corner of 120th Street West and Dodd Boulevard. Presently this site consists of three metes and bounds parcels. The southern metes and bounds parcel is 2.50 acres and the northern two metes and bound parcels have been combined into one development lot totaling 8.63 acres. The northerly two parcels are in two different sections and the County will not allow the combination of metes and bounds parcels that are in different sections. For purposes of the City's regulations the northerly two parcels are considered one developable lot and in fact, the existing home on the property straddles both of those lots. As it currently exists, the southerly metes and bounds lot of 2.5 acres has limited development potential because of soil conditions and wetlands on the westerly two-thirds of the lot. The existing structures on the proposed Lot 1 meet setback requirements. The Tousignants are requesting to readjust the lot lines to create two platted parcels: Lot 1, the northerly lot, would be 5.54 acres and Lot 2, the southerly lot, would be 5.59 acres. The subject property is zoned Rural Residential. The minimum lot size in the RR district is 2.5 with a maximum density of 1 lot per five acres for a subdivision. 6veriylkings Coom1ng ( J6 gosemounlY Rachels Wood Page 2 Under the definition of subdivision in the City of Rosemount Subdivision Ordinance, this type of common lot line adjustment is exempted from the park dedication requirements because it is considered an administrative correction. The westerly area of the subject property contains soils classified as wetlands. The attached letter from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) indicate that the wetland on this property is not regulated under the shoreland zoning requirements so there are no restrictions regarding minimum lot size, structure setbacks, etc. Any grading, filling, draining, and stormwater outfalls within the wetland area do, however, require a permit from the DNR. At the City's request, the applicant provided a percolation test for Lot 2. The Building Inspection staff has reviewed the data and has determined that a septic system can be properly installed on the site but a mound system may be required depending on the siting of the house. Between the required front and side yard setbacks, the wetland area and the septic suitability limitations, the building envelop for a house is a relatively small portion of the 5.54 acre lot. There does, however, appear to be ample room for building a reasonable house. According to the Public Works Department the required right-of- way for Dodd is 60 feet. The preliminary plat shows 66 feet. The final plat should be revised to reflect the 60 foot right- of-way. The preliminary plat meets all other applicable city requirements' and standards.
