1 Final Plat for Church Road Addition, 1 Lot
1 BACKGROUND
On August 4, 1993, the Planning Commission recommended preliminary plat approval for the
1 Church Road Addition. The applicant is seeking preliminary and final plat approval from the
City Council at this time. The final plat includes one lot (Lot 1, Block 1) and the rest an
outlot ( Outlot A). At the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant stated he wanted to
1 maintain the option of providing access to one of the lots via West 62nd Street. Staff had a
condition that all lots access off of Church Road where the homes are in closer proximity to a
fire hydrant. The Fire Marshal has provided the option of installing a fire sprinkler for the
1 home.
1 ANALYSIS
The lot being platted has a home on the site and is currently connected to city sewer but not
I water. Pursuant to city ordinance, connection to city water will be required once the well on
the property fails. A development contract will not be required with this lot, but will be
required for any further platting. Lot 1 Block 1 has a 10 foot easement along the front
I easement property and a 5 foot easement along the side and rear property line The plat
should be amended to provide for a 10 foot easement along the rear property of lot 1.
I RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion:
I "The City Council approves the preliminary plat (93 -15) for Church Road Addition as shown
on the plans dated July 7, 1993, and subject to the following conditions:

1 Church Road Addition
August 4, 1993
Page 2
1 PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
I The applicant, Greg Reed, is proposing a 4 lot subdivision. This property is part of the Larson
First Addition which was platted in 1981. The Larson plat is 3.30 acres and included two lots.
Lot 1 has an existing home on it. Lot 2 is landlocked except for access off of State Highway
I 7. The proposed subdivision proposes access to Lot 2 (now Lot 4) via a private drive off of
Church Road. Access to the property to the developing lots will be from a private driveway off
of Church Road. The city ordinance allows up to 4 homes off of a private drive. The applicant
I had proposed to access one lot from West 62nd Street. Public Safety is recommending that the
access be off of the private road instead for fire and emergency access reasons. The driveway
off of West 62nd Street is over 440 feet long and the fire hydrant is behind the home. Public
1 Safety is concerned with locating the hydrant in an emergency when the home will be addressed
off of West 62nd and the hydrant will be located off of the private drive. They are
recommending that this home be accessed and addressed off of the private street.
I Staff supports approval of this subdivision in that is resolves access to Lot 2 of the Larson
Subdivision which is currently limited to Highway 7 and all are over 20,000 square feet. If it
I were possible, it would be desirable to tie access of this property with the property to the east
(the Schmid's). When this property does develop, it will have to be accessed from West 62nd
I Street.
BACKGROUND
' This property is zoned RSF, Residential Single Family. The site is bordered on the north by
West 62nd Street and the city of Shorewood. West of the property is Church Road and
I Minnewashta Meadows Subdivision which is zoned RSF and on the east is the William Schmid
property which is 10.37 acres in size and is also zoned RSF. The property is bordered on the
south by Highway 7. There are two homes on the lot to the south of the subject site on Church
I Road and 4 lots north of the site on Church Road.
Access to this site is off of Church Road and West 62nd Street. The existing home will still
I have access from the existing driveway onto Church Road. Staff is recommending that all access
via Church Road for fire and safety reasons.
1 STREETS /ACCESS
The development is proposed to be served via a 20 foot wide private driveway from Church
1 Road. The shape and location of this parcel restricts construction of a public street to service
the development. The city's preferred access alternative would be to extend Meadow Lane
easterly of Church Road into a cul -de -sac. The developer apparently does not have the
I opportunity to purchase additional property to construct a full street; therefore, the private
driveway alternative is acceptable. The parcel is also bordered by West 62nd Street on the north.
1
1
Church Road Addition
August 4, 1993
Page 3 I
To extend a public street or private driveway from West 62nd Street does not appear to be the
most economical way to access the site. Staff does recommend that the driveway access for Lot
1 be relocated to access from the private driveway extension from Church Road and not from
West 62nd Street. A cross- access or driveway easement should be conveyed across Lot 3 in
favor of Lots 1 and 4 in addition to an overall maintenance agreement for use and maintenance
responsibilities of the private driveway between the benefitting lots. The city will not be
I
responsible for maintenance of the proposed driveway. Public Safety recommends that the
private street be named and the city install the appropriate street signs and addresses at the
driveway entrance. Cost of the street signs would be billed back to the developer in accordance 1
to the development contract.
UTILITIES 1
Municipal sanitary sewer and water currently exists in Church Road. The plans propose
extending sewer and water service along the private driveway to serve Lots 1, 3 and 4. Lot 2
111
is already connected to sewer and water service via Church Road. Utility extension to the
subdivision should be in accordance with the City's latest edition of Construction Standard
Specifications and Detail Plates. Detailed construction drawings will be necessary in conjunction
with final platting for staff review and City Council approval. Since the utility extension will
be eventually owned and maintained by the city, the applicant shall enter into a development I
contract with the city and provide the necessary financial security to guarantee the installation
of the public improvements. Extension of water and sewer service involves open cutting Church
Road. Staff recommends that water service should be extended from the existing water stub I
located on the east side of Church Road across from Meadow Lane. This would limit open
cutting of Church Road to only the northbound lane, thus maintaining one lane of traffic.
Upon completion and acceptance, the utility improvements lying within public easements on Lot 1
3 shall become city property except those utilities lying north of the southerly 30 feet of Lot 3.
Those utilities consist of an individual sewer and water service which shall be owned and I
maintained by the benefiting property owner (Lot 1).
GRADING AND DRAINAGE
I
The overall site is relatively flat and void of tree vegetation. The neighborhood drainage pattern
is from northeast to the southwest via overland sheet flow. The plans do not indicate altering 1
the neighborhood drainage patterns except for construction of the new homes. Staff feels that
site drainage can easily be accommodated to drain around the new homes and maintain the
existing neighborhood drainage patterns. Staff does not anticipate increasing the storm water 1
runoff dramatically to require on -site storm water retention from either quantity or quality
purposes. However, in lieu of a storm water retention pond, the applicant should pay the cash
1
contribution based on the development's size and characteristics to the City's Storm Water
1
1
1
I Church Road Addition
August 4, 1993
Page 4
1 Management Fund. The cash contribution will be determined by City staff in accordance with
the City's Surface Water Management Plan.
1 One of the neighbors was concerned about existing field tiles which may intersect the parcel.
The City's policy is for all drain tile systems to be reconnected or relocated to maintain the
1 current drainage system.
EASEMENTS
I The appropriate cross access or driveway easements should be conveyed between Lots 1, 3 and
4 for the use of the common driveway out to Church Road. In addition, a drainage and utility
1 easement should also be dedicated on the plat for utility extension along the private driveway as
well as through Lot 3 to service Lot 1.
1 LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION
The majority of this site has been used for a horse pasture and has few trees except for the
1 eastern property line which has a long border of trees. These trees shall remain untouched by
this development.
1 On Tuesday July 27, 1993, the Park and Recreation Commission met to review this plat. Mr.
Larson was in attendance. The Commission recommended park and trail fees shall be paid in
full at the rate then in force, upon building permit application. A trail easement shall also be
I granted along the frontage of Church Road.

All of the lots meet the 15,000 square footage requirement and meet the setback standards except

standards. The square footage on flag lots are calculated without the neck of the flag. The lot,
as proposed including the neck, is 29,992 square feet, but as per ordinance is actually 22,940

lot are 30 feet in the front facing the neck portion of the lot and 20 feet on the side yards. The
home, as placed, does not meet the 30 rear yard setback. There is sufficient space to move the I
home and still meet the setback. The proposed home meets the 20 foot side yard setback
requirement.

SUBJ: Review of Preliminary Plat Proposal for Church Road Addition
LUR File No. 93 -16
Upon review of the preliminary plat dated July 6, 1993 prepared by Advance Surveying & 1
Engineering Company, I offer the following comments and recommendations:
STREETS /ACCESS 1
The development is proposed to be served via a 20 -foot wide private driveway from Church
Road. The shape and location of this parcel restricts construction of a public street to
service the development. The City's preferred access alternative would be to extend
Meadow Lane easterly of Church Road into a cul -de -sac. The developer apparently does

the private driveway alternative is acceptable. The parcel is also bordered by West 62nd

111
does not appear to be the most economical way to access the site. Staff does recommend
that the driveway access for Lot 1 be relocated to access from the private driveway extension
from Church Road and not from West 62nd Street. A cross - access or driveway easement 1
should be conveyed across Lot 3 in favor of Lots 1 and 4 in addition to an overall

between the benefitting lots. The City will not be responsible for maintenance of the 1

Public Present: 1
Name Address
Greg Reed 6301 Church Road II
Jim Way 6641 Minnewashta Parkway
II
Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item. Vice Chair Conrad
called the public hearing to order.
Greg Reed: Yeah I'm the applicant, Greg Reed. I've been working with Kat
on this and I think we've kind of settled this out the best way we ,could.
We've kept the 3 new lots as large as possible. I will put a hydrant
closer. I don't know how far you want closer to there. Because I still II
would like, I like the area. I want to build a house on Lot, that'd be Lot
1 I think. Yeah. So I want my access off of West 62nd Street there to
eliminate a little bit less traffic on that private easement. That's all II
my comments. Thank you.
Conrad: Okay, good. Thank you. Other comments. Anybody else? Anybody?"
Jim Way: I own the lot right.
Conrad: Would you give us your name. II
Jim Way: Okay. I'm Jim Way and I have that lot to the southwest. I just
found out that it's not, that house there is not 2 feet from the road but
guess 30. I don't have any specific objectives or anything to the propose
development. That private road you know does go down the north property
line and the only thing I'd kind of like to see some kind of tree line or '
some kind of something to separate it. Make it more private I guess from
that, my lot there. Is that a possibility?
Conrad: How do we do that Kate? 1
Aanenson: Well we do have a, when it's abutting a street we do have a
streetscape requirement. It's a 30 foot wide easement. 20 feet of that, II
II
11 Planning Commission Meeting
August 4, 1993 - Page 30
11 which we require to be paved as we mentioned in the previous report, to 20
ton design. So if the other 10 foot of easement, if engineering doesn't
have a concern about putting landscaping in there. If you want to make
that a condition. You might want to see if he has a concern with that.
Conrad: It's a private drive. It's all on the applicant's property. Does
it butt right up to the property line or what?
Aanenson: Yes.
Scott: The easement does.
Aanenson: The easement does.
Mancino: Well there are existing trees there just north of your house.
Will they be saved?
1 Aanenson: Actually, well there is one tree on his lot that will be saved
but the rest of the trees are actually further behind his house.
Jim Way: Yeah. Most of the trees are to the east.
Aanenson: Behind. Correct. They're to the east of your house.
Jim Way: Yeah. There's not much along the north property line I don't
think, is there?
Aanenson: Right, they're past his home.
Greg Reed: There is trees right along here and along here right now. They
will be saved.
Aanenson: But he's concerned about the ones closer to.
Jim Way: Just to make it, you know you've got a driveway. You've got the
Highway 7. You've got Church Road and now you've got another one going in
on the north side so. So it's not too much of a private lot anymore.
Conrad: I think, do we have any standards for that?
11 Aanenson: We don't on common driveways. You may need something that
provides a better cover like lilacs or confiers or something. I'm not sure
an overstory tree is going to give him the screening that he wants.
Mancino: But who's responsibility though is that?
Harberts: I think any homeowner has the opportunity of putting in their
own landscaping.
Conrad: But this is a road abutting, really it's abutting. It's a private
road but it's.
Aanenson: It's a common driveway, yeah.

Planning Commission Meeting

' have a name and everything.
And it's going to ha thing. Y
Aanenson: Yeah, for access. For emergency access. ,
Scott: Is that going to be maintained?
Aanenson: Between the homeowners. The City won't maintain it.
Farmakes: Does that have a curb?
Aanenson: No.
Jim Way: Well that's all I had so. '
Conrad: Okay, thanks for your comments. Are there other comments?
Anything else? Is there a motion to close the public hearing?
Mancino moved, Scott seconded to close the public hearing. All voted in
favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed.
Farmakes: I support the staff recommendations on this application. My II
comments before about shared driveway I think are nullified...And my
condolences to the person who's going to be building on Lot 1. I don't II
look forward to shoveling your driveway. On Mr. Way's house. I guess I
share your concern whether they're going to be using a common driveway that
goes right up to the property line. Obviously it affects the existing
structure on Mr. Way's property. I'm not sure what, if anything, the city
can do about that. But I'm open for any suggestions. As stated, we don't
get involved in landscaping of a private road, private right -of -way.
Aanenson: Normally we don't. In this circumstances again it'd be like
looking at a regular subdivision that requires the 1 tree per lot and maybe
this is a circumstance where we take those, the trees that were required
for those lots and put those in an area and a species that would provide a,
buffer.
Mancino: ...trees left for the lots. '
Aanenson: Except that there is trees along the easterly side.
Farmakes: I have no further comments then. I/
Mancino: Kate do you have any concern about all these driveways on Church
you know when you turn off of Highway 7 and you go north. You know you've '
got 1, 2, 3, and now you're going to have 4 driveways right in a row and is
there some sort of safety concern about how close they are?
Hempel: In this situation the amount of traffic at this intersection isn'll
high enough to warrant I guess the concerns that normally would be
associated with the little, if this was Minnewashta Parkway where we have II
quite a few more vehicles. The horseshoe driveway, maybe at some point
that's, the southerly driveway on that particular parcel may be fairly
close to the highway but the location of the proposed common driveway is
far enough off where it shouldn't impact turning movements onto Highway 7.
11 Planning Commission Meeting
August 4, 1993 - Page 32
11 Mancino: I have no problem with a shared driveway. I live on one. Two
houses are on one and they're big lots. I mean very big lots but it seems
to work out fine. We have a legal easement contract that we, both residents
adhere to and it's kind of nice to split the snowplowing with someone and
it just hasn't been issue for us. So I see no problem there. That's all
the comments I have.
Conrad: Okay, thanks Nancy. Joe.
Scott: To talk about the buffering. Mr. Reed, would you accept a condition
wherein you would provide some sort of understory buffer for your
neighbor's property? This is purely optional for you.
Greg Reed: You mean a tree line along there?
Scott: Lilacs or something.
Aanenson: Or conifers or pine trees or something.
Scott: I don't speak that language but.
Mancino: Maybe the word is, would you consider it?
Scott: Yeah. It's not something that we get involved with but I figure
this might be, if you would be willing to entertain that, then I would be
willing to put it in as a condition. If you choose not to do that, that's
' your option.
Greg Reed: I'm not sure if I want it in there right now.
•
' Scott: Okay. That's fine.
Greg Reed: I don't know if I'm going to go into developing again either.
11 It's kind of a lot of work and expense. But I have talked to, I'm going to
live out there. I want to get along with my neighbors so...as sellable as
I can to somebody that wants to buy in there.
Scott: Okay. I have no comment.
Conrad: Okay, Matt.
Ledvina: No further comment.
Conrad: Nothing? Okay. Diane.
Harberts: I would just add a number 13 of the condition about locating
that fire hydrant closer to the houses as recommended and as accepted by
the applicant and that's all I have to say.
Conrad: Good. The only control on the property line for the driveway, the
11 private driveway. The only thing we can do is Kate what you suggested.
Our subdivision is one tree per lot so we literally could move those trees.

Planning Commission Meeting 1

v streetscape anenson And we do have a st requirement. You know when you're P 4
on a collector.
Conrad: But that's not. I'm trying to apply something that exists and
not, so the option is to encourage those 3 trees that would have to be per
lot. To put them on that property line. I'm not sure if I like that or
not. It's probably, I guess it's up to somebody who makes the motion here
But I think that is something that we could require. But beyond that I
have no other comments. Any other discussion? Questions?
Greg Reed: ...where that fire hydrant be?
Aanenson: I think at this point we just put a condition that you meet thell
Fire Marshal's concerns.
Scott: Yeah, it's 300 feet.
Aanenson: Well he wants it so it's, you can get it from the hard surface
on the driveway. So they don't have to drag the hose from the rear of the
home, because that's where it is now. So if it's 300 feet, it still may 11
behind the house and that's not where he wants it. So if we can leave it
to meet the Fire Marshal's concerns or conditions of approval, I think
that's best. 1
Hempel: Mr. Chairman, if I could clarify one condition here. Condition
number 11. It was actually my condition. As far as limiting access for
Lot 1. That could be deleted.
Aanenson: Yeah, or I'd just put, or modify to say only the hydrant• is
relocated to meet the Fire Marshal's concerns. 1
Harberts: Which number was that Kate?
Aanenson: Number 11. '
Conrad: 11. So you're deleting the entire?
Aanenson: Or modifying it to say, only if the hydrant is relocated to mee
the Fire Marshal's concerns.
Conrad: Okay. 1
Mancino: So there's no 15?
Conrad: Is there a motion?
Harberts: I'll make it. I recommend that the Planning Commission adopt
the following motion. Case No. 93 -15, Preliminary Plat to subdivide 3.3
acres into 4 single family lots at 6301 Church Road north of Highway 7 and
adopt the staff recommendation with the modification of number 11 to read
as Kate stated. That the hydrant meets the Fire Marshal's specifications.
That's it.
Conrad: Is there a second? 1
Planning Commission Meeting
August 4, 1993 - Page 34
11 Mancino: Second.
Conrad: Any discussion?
Harberts moved, Mancino seconded that the Planning Commission recommend

PUBLIC HEARING:
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO SECTION 20 -575 - 20 -595 REGARDING LOT SIZES.
Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item. Vice Chair Conrad
called the public hearing to order. •
Farmakes: Could you refresh my memory on how we require 2 1/2 acre lots,
when one subdivides and they figure out where those 15,000 square foot lot'
are going to go if they do subdivide?
Aanenson: You have to have acres. It's still the 1 unit per
10 acres requirement's still in place. So if you have 10 acres, you can
take a little corner piece and make it into one lot. You can create one
lot. What we're saying now is it doesn't have to be 2 1/2 acres. It can
be as small as 15,000, or whatever it takes to get 2 septic sites on
because you still have to provide that in the rural area. So yeah, it's ill
the anticipation that sewer's going to become available and you don't want
to lob off a big acreage. And we've had requests for those. You've seen
those. The Tich's. People that have come in and say I'm going to hold of
the rest of mine until sewer becomes available. But they want to make the
most sense of their property now.
Farmakes: Yeah. That's usually where we get these common driveways and
small lots.
Aanenson: Well that's why I think we need to go through and rezone those 1
to RSF because we have had requests from some of these RR areas to just do
some splits without rezonings and I don't think we're going through the
process to make...done it procedurally.
Mancino: They can turn out being really funny looking too.
