BACKGROUND
This item appeared in front of the Planning Commission on January '
2, 1990. The proposal then asked for a subdivision of the parcel
into two lots (Attachment #1) . On January 25, 1990, the applicant
requested withholding any action on the subdivision until further
notice (Attachment #2) .
On May 16, 1990, the applicant appeared before the Planning
Commission requesting the creation of two lots of which Lot 3 would
have no direct frontage on Pleasant View Road, while Lot 1 would
have the full 207 feet of frontage (Attachment #3) . There are two
issues that remained unresolved from the January meeting. The
first had to do with Baldur Avenue, an undeveloped right-of-way
that was partially owned by the City. The resulting lot
configuration was highly unusual since Baldur Avenue is located at
a distance from the bulk of the parcel. Questions were raised
regarding the disposition of the unusual right-of-way potential use
and access to lots located on Horseshoe Curve. Questions were also
raised regarding the City's request to confirm an easement of the
existing driveway to a lift station located along the lake.
Since the last meeting, there have been several actions related to
this proposal. The City vacated it's interest in a portion of the
unused Baldur Avenue right-of-way since there was no public purpose
in retaining it. Secondly, the City Council adopted a new
ordinance that allows lots to be served by private driveways in
limited circumstances. This eliminated the need for Lot 3 to have
direct frontage on Pleasant View Road. The final factor is that
the property owners was able to negotiate an agreement with the
owners of the lot on Horseshoe Curve. They agreed to an exchange
of land whereby the lot would be incorporated into the plat and
land would be exchanged to satisfy both owners. On May 16, 1990,
the applicant requested that the northerly lot line of Lot 1 be
shifted further to the south locating the private driveway to Lot
3 to the north of Lot 1 instead of on Lot 1, Block 1 to avoid
liability issues related to the private driveway. The Planning
Commission accepted those changes and approved the proposal with
appropriate conditions proposed by staff.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 3 lots from a 3.2 acre
parcel. Two of the lots are existing and occupied by existing
homes. The plat allows the lot lines to be relocated. In
addition, a new 0.82 acre lot located on Pleasant View Road will be
created. This lot will be made available for new construction.
Lot 3, Block 1 will have street frontage of 81 feet and will be
accessed by a private driveway. Section 20-615 requires flag lots
I
I Sathre Subdivision
May 16, 1990
Page 3
accessed by private driveways to have a 100 foot width measured at
the front building setback line. Section 18-57 (o) permits up to
' four lots to be served by a private driveway if the City finds the
following conditions to exist:
1. The prevailing development pattern makes it infeasible or
' inappropriate to construct a public street.
* A driveway exists at the present time and serves the existing
' house. Based upon a review of the surrounding area, staff has
concluded that a street extension would not serve additional
parcels and could result in extensive tree loss.
' 2. After reviewing the surrounding area, it is concluded that an
extension of the public street system is not required to serve
other parcels in the area and prove access or to provide
' street system consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
* At the present time only one residence will be utilizing the
' private driveway and an extension of the public street is not
required to serve other parcels. In the future, it is
possible that Lot 3 could be further subdivided but if an
additional lot is created it could be adequately served by an
' upgraded private driveway.
3. The use of a private driveway will permit enhanced protection
of wetlands and mature trees.
* The site is heavily wooded, should the applicant provide a
' street up to city standards, a large number of trees would
have to be removed. As it stands right now, no additional
trees will be removed.
' Lot 1, Block 1 will be served by a driveway accessed on Pleasant
View Road. The Planning Commission requested that staff review the
possibility of connecting the proposed driveway of Lot 1 with the
existing driveway of Lot 3. Staff visited the site found that
relocation of the driveway would result in a heavy loss of mature
trees. Also, the grades do not permit shifting the driveway to the
' north. Therefore, staff recommends that the driveway remains as
proposed. It should also be noted that visibility is adequate from
where the driveways accesses onto Pleasant View Road.
' The standard drainage and utility easements are being provided
along the lot lines of the plat. Public utilities are available at
the site. Both lots will be served directly by driveways from
' Pleasant View Road. The lots are large enough so that both have
sufficient area to be further subdivided. Lot 3 can be split into
several additional home sites. Lot 1 would be difficult to
subdivide further due to the location of the existing driveway and
probable location of the new home.
Streets
The proposed driveway that will serve Lot 1, Block 1 is accessed on
Pleasant View Road. A private driveway that serves Lot 3, Block 1
Sathre Subdivision I
May 16, 1990
Page 4 1
runs to the north of Lot 1. On busy streets such as Pleasant View
Road, staff would normally consider the feasibility of requiring
that the two lots share a driveway, since reducing the number of
curb cuts promotes traffic safety. In this case, due to topography
and tree coverage, shared driveways are not recommended.
The applicant is dedicating 33 feet from the center of Pleasant '
View Road to the City for the potential future expansion of
Pleasant View Road. The existing lot is currently platted to the
centerline of the street. Baldur Avenue exists as a paper street.
The westerly 15 feet of Baldur Avenue was recently vacated and the
applicant is in ownership of the easterly 15 feet of Baldur Avenue.
The applicant is proposing to add the southerly 215 feet of Baldur II Avenue to Lot 2, Block 1 in return for a triangular shaped portion
of Lot 2 located on the southwest of Lot 2. The applicant's
property extends to include a portion of Horseshoe Curve. The
applicant is proposing to dedicate the 15 foot wide portion
Horseshoe Curve, which he owns, back to the City. This will
benefit Lot 2 by giving it street frontage, as at the present time,
Lot 2 has a cross access easement to enter the property. The cross
access easement was granted by the applicant to Lot 2. A right-of-
way easement exists on the easterly portion of Baldur Avenue. The
applicant is requesting vacation of this easement. The City does
not need this easement and recommends vacation of the right-of-way
easement. This proposed solution for Baldur Avenue is supported by
staff. It will prevent the creation of remnant lots and will
provide the necessary lot frontage for Lot 2, Block 1.
Park Dedication/Tree Preservation '
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that park dedication
fees be required in lieu of parkland. A tree preservation plan
should be prepared and approved by the City prior to issuance of a
building permit.
Easements '
The City is requesting an easement over the existing driveway to
obtain access to a lift station located on the southeast corner of
Lot 3, Block 1. The driveway easement was dedicated to the City in
1977 but was not recorded. The City has used this easement
continuously to provide access to the lift station. A sanitary
sewer exists over the southerly portion of Lot 3, Block 1, Lot 2,
Block 1 and extends over Baldur Avenue. This easement over the
sewer line must be shown on the final plat. Typical easements have
been provided, 5 feet on the side and rear lot lines and 10 feet on
the front lot line.

BACKGROUND
On August 19, 1977, a 15 foot sanitary sewer easement south of ,
Lot 1, Block 1 and south of Baldur Avenue (which exists as a
paper street) was acquired by the City. Also, a 15 foot wide
driveway easement was dedicated to the City to allow access to
the lift station located on the southeast corner of Lot 1, Block
1 (Attachemnt *1) .
ANALYSIS ,
The applicant is proposing to subdivide a 0.78 acre lot from a
3.2 acre parcel. This lot will be made available for new
construction. The remaining 2.08 acre parcel contains an
existing house.
Both lots meet all of the requirements of the RSF District. The
standard utility and drainage easements are being provided along
the lot lines of the plat. Public utilities are available at the
site. Both lots will be served directly by driveways from
Pleasant View Road. The lots are large enough that both have
sufficient area to be further subdivided. Lot 1 could be spilt
into several additional home sites at some point in the future
but at the present time variances would be required for lots
having no frontage on a public road. Staff is in the process of
developing ordinance revisions that would clarify this issue.
Lot 2 could not be subdivided due to lot width criteria.
Streets
In the attached memo, the Senior Engineering Technician addresses
the utilization of existing Pleasant View Road for access. He is
requesting that the proposed driveway for Lot 2, Block 1, be
located to the extreme easterly edge of the lot to provide ade-
quate sight distance from the corner of Pleasant View Road and
HorsesOoe Curve. On busy streets such as Pleasant View, staff
would normally consider the feasibility of requiring that the two
lots share a driveway since reducing the number of curb cuts pro-
motes traffic safety. In this case, due to topography and tree
coverage, shared driveways are not recommended. To insure that
future owners are aware of the required driveway location on Lot
2, an appropriate notice should be placed in the Chain-of-Title.
The City is requiring 33 feet from the center of Pleasant View
Road be dedicated for the existing street and potentially future
expansion of the road. The existing lot is currently platted to
the centerline of the street.
Baldur Avenue exists as a paper street. The westerly 15 feet of
Baldur Avenue was vacated. The applicant is in ownership of the
easterly 15 feet of Baldur Avenue. The Baldur Avenue situation
is quite unusual in that it is a "tail" extending from the lot
1
Sathre Subdivision
January 3, 1990 .
IPage3
I that will be severed from it when the Pleasant View right-of-way
is dedicated. The applicant wishes to retain ownership to pro-
vide some means of accessing the lakeshore although he is aware
of ordinance restrictions on its use. Baldur Avenue is currently
IIbeing used as a driveway access for the property southwest of the
subject property. The property using the driveway for an access
can be subdivided in the future. In order to prevent these lots
II from being landlocked, an easement for right-of-way for future
lot access will need to be secured. The northerly portion of
Baldur Avenue will need to be dedicated to the City to provide
I access to these lots and ROW for Horseshoe Curve. The remaining
privately owned portion of what would have been Baldur Avenue ROW
should be platted into an outlot since it is unbuildable. Staff
has also proposed a condition that would restrict clear cutting
1 of trees over 4" caliper on this outlot since it is visible from
Lotus Lake.
IIPark Dedication
The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the plat at their
I meeting of November 29, 1989. It was their recommendation that
park dedication fees be required in lieu of park land.
Easements
IIThe City is requesting an easement over the existing driveway to
obtain access to a lift station located on the southeast corner
I of Lot 1, Block 1. The driveway easement was dedicated to the
City in 1977 but was not recorded. The City has used it con-
tinuously to provide access to the lift station. A sanitary
sewer easement, exists over the southerly portion of Lot 1, Block
II
1 and extends over Baldur Avenue. Typical easements have been
provided, 5 feet on the side and rear lot lines and 10 feet on
the front lot line.

FROM: Dave Hempel, Sr. Engineering Technician 9 47
IDATE: November 21, 1989
II SUBJ: Preliminary Plat Review -for Sathre Addition
File No. 89-19 Land Use Review
I Upon review of the preliminary plat of Sathre Addition dated
November 6, 1989, submitted by Schoell & Madson, Inc. , I offer
the following comments and recommendations:
I ,It
The site is located south of Pleasant View Road and east of
Horseshoe Lane. This plat proposes subdividing one lot into two.
Sewer and W t in s
I I Sanitary a erma
Sanitary sewer and water service is available to Lot 2 from
Pleasant View Road. On Lot 1 where their is an existing house
water service is provided from Pleasant View Road and sanitary
I sewer service from the -line immediately south of the house adja-
cent to Lotus Lake. d
IStreets
This plat pill ti`iise` ietib saet w tad z„.access.
I It is recommended that the proposed driveway for-a 2 be located
to the extreme easterly edge of the lot to
y g provide i8equate site
distance from the corner: pf*lsasant View... `end Horseshoe
Lane. .._
Grading and Drainage
IINo grading plan was received with the preliminary plat; there-
fore, it appears that no grading will occur over this site.

I
Sharmin Al-Jaff

Page 2
Miscellaneous '
The standard utility and drainage easements are being provided
along the lot lines of this, plat. However, the plat does not
show an existing sanitary sewer easement over Lot 1 lying between
Lotus Lake and the existing house. This easement should be shown
on the final plat (see attached) . ,
Recommendations
1. The driveway access to Lot 2 shall be located to the far
easterly edge of Lot 2.
2. The final plat shall reflect the existing sanitary sewer
easement over Lot 1.

Baldur Avenue Vacation
February 12, 1990
Page 2
ANALYSIS
' The applicant is proposing to vacate 'Baldur Avenue. Baldur
Avenue exists as an undeveloped right-of-way. At the present
time the applicant uses Baldur Avenue to access his property.
The street was intended to be platted 30 feet wide, however, the
easterly 15 feet of Baldur is under the ownership of Robert
Sathre (see Attachment #1) and is covered by a permanent roadway
easement. This 15 foot wide easement is used by the abutting
' property owner, Ronald Harvieux as a driveway access to his
property. It is not known how this portion of Baldur Avenue was
conveyed to Mr. Sathre but documents exist noting that this por-
tion is under private ownership. The resulting lot configuration
is highly unusual since Mr. Sathre' s home is located some
distance to the northeast along Pleasant View Road.
A sewer line runs through the southerly portion of Baldur Avenue
along the lake.
An easement does exist over the privately owned portion of Baldur
' Avenue but not over the portion that the applicant is requesting
for vacation. Staff recommends that an easement be retained over
the existing sanitary sewer line.
The City has no use for Baldur Avenue other than using it as an
access to the existing sewer line. The steep slope of this area
makes it impossible to drive a vehicle to the sewer line. The
' area is also heavily wooded. The applicant wishes to vacate
Baldur Avenue for preservation purposes by minimizing public use
of the strip.
The City Council should be aware that Mr. Sathre has a pending
application for a subdivision before the Planning Commission. He
is seeking to divide his parcel into two lots . His application
' has tempoarily been withdrawn after the initial Planning
Commission review. Staff anticipates requiring the acquisition
of the 15 ft. strip of land covered by the easement to avoid the
II creation of a remnant parcel with no legitimate use. Copies of
the staff report on the subdivision and Planning Commission
meeting minutes are attached.
' RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of a resolution for Vacation
Request #90-1 for the vacation of Baldur Avenue with the
following condition:
1. A sanitary sewer easement should be retained/conveyed to the
City over the portion of the existing sanitary sewer line.
2 . No tree removal shall be permitted on Baldur Avenue.

' PUBLIC HEARING:
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF 3.2 ACRES INTO 2 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS ON PROPERTY ZONED
RSF AND LOCATED AT 365 PLEASANT VIEW ROAD, ROBERT SATHRE.
Sharmin AI-Jaff presented the staff report. Chairman Conrad called the
public hearing to order .
Conrad: Maybe we 'll open it up with the applicant. Bob , any comments on
the staff report?
Bob Sathre: Not really . There 's nothing different other than the exchange
that was not considered with the vacating of Baldur Avenue .
Conrad: That cleans it up pretty easily . Any other comments?
Batzli: moved, Ellson seconded to close the public hearing. All voted in
favor and the motion carried. The public hearing was closed.
Ahrens: I guess it makes sense to have the property located west of the
driveway. Become part of Lot 3 , that 's right. Is that the proposal?
Rather than have it divide Lot 1 . I guess it makes more sense for the
proposed drive on Lot 1 also. I had a question why that wasn't connected
onto the other private drive . Since there was some concern that the
' proposed drive on Lot 1 not be located too close to Horseshoe Curve but
it's almost right on top of the other private drive. Is that how, I mean
that's the way it looks to me.
IKrauss: They're still separated by, I don't remember the exact distance
but we can scale that off, but there's a grade change there. I think if
you're going with the first report we said that we would prefer to have a
single curb cut and we would have recommended it if we thought it was
realistic to do but because of the grade change we didn't think it was so
we just added a condition that the driveway to the new home has to be as
' far east as possible .
Ahrens: As far east from what? From the other existing driveway?
Al-Jaff: The engineering department said that if there is a distance of
100 feet, that allows enough visibility and there is a distance of 100
' feet.
Ahrens: Between the two driveways?
f
Planning Commission Meeting
May 16, 1990 - Page 5 1
Al-Taff: Not the two driveways but their main concern was Horseshoe Curve .,
Krauss: The main concern was sight distance as you come around the curve,
that this driveway not be introduced right over here. The desire was to 11
get it up that way but as I read the report, I see we used to have a
condition in for that and I don't read it in this version. It would be
warranted to consider it with the condition that states that the location I
for the driveway shall be no further west than is illustrated on the
survey.
Ahrens: I agree. I don't quite understand the land exchange. Maybe you II
could point to that on the map.
Krauss: If I understand it , we had this Baldur Avenue in here that was
quite confusing because part of it was actual right-of-way and part of it
was an easement . This part of it then was right-of-way. This area down to
here would be vacated. What we didn't vacate is the easement that we have
on this side of it . What we're proposing to do is the City would vacate
this . The vacated land which was a part of this parcel will be traded to
this parcel .
• Ahrens: The vacated portion of Baldur Avenue?
Krauss: Right , would become part of this lot . '
Ahrens: But it originally was part of Lot 1?
Krauss: Right . Because of that funny tail that was on that lot . And then,
what they're doing is they're swapping a little bit of property right in
here .
Ahrens: Oh, so that 's the reason this , okay. In the staff report under
easements on page 4 , you state that the City is requesting an easement over
the existing driveway . I assume that's the existing driveway located on II
Lot 3?
Krauss: Lot 3, correct . As you recall , there was some confusion about
that. We believed we had an easement over it and one easement was drafted II
up but as near as we can tell was never filed and we wanted to correct that
omission. We 've been using it to make this. . .
Ahrens: Number one, under your conditions. The driveway access to Lot 3, II
Block 1 shall be placed in the chain of title of the Lot 1 , Block 1?
Krauss: Right. That condition would not be needed if the Baldur , the neck,
.. .proposal . _
Ahrens: But if they don't alter it though, it should be that the easement ,
should be placed in the title of both lots. I mean just technical . You
just have to do it for both lots, that 's all . You just can't do it for one
and not the other . That 's all I have . '
Planning Commission Meeting
May 16, 1990 - Page 6
' Wildermuth: One -more time Paul , why can't the street access to Pleasant
View for Lot 1 connect with the City easement? It looks like there's a
drop of about 16 feet according to the topo map and about 60 to 70 feet.
' That doesn't seem out of line.
Krauss: Well we went out to the site with our engineer technician and I
don't know if it actually looks worse than it is. . .but the grade is fairly
' substantial and you'd wind up with a driveway that was probably in excess
of 10% which is not impossible but with weather conditions, it could be
difficult .
' Wildermuth: Right. Okay. So that's basically the reasoning? Because
with all the vegetation there , it looks like to come directly out to the
street it's going to involve removing as much vegetation one way as the
other .
Krauss: Right .
Wildermuth: And by connecting with the easement roadway, it eliminated one
curb cut which would be pretty desireable .
' Krauss: Except that you probably would not run the driveway straight to
the east . You 'd want to roll down the hill and. . .concrete apron there , by
that time you 've caused about as much damage to get to that point .
Wildermuth: I don 't know, it still looks like you could come off to within
about 30 or 40 feet of the road and still cut down on some of the grade .
' Minimize the grade which would be less than the 16 feet if you went
directly from the current turn around shown on the map over to the City
easement road.
' Krauss: Well I don't want to give you the impression that we would be
opposed to that . I mean that was our initial goal with it. If you 're
comfortable with wording a condition that encourages us to do that but
leaves it , defers it to the engineering department to go out and take
another look at it , I 'd be more than happy to have them do that.
' Wildermuth: I guess that's what I would favor . Thank you.
Batzli : Can you point to the map up there and tell me which one is Lot 1 ,
' Lot 2 and Lot 3?
Al-Jaff: Lot 1 . Lot 2. Lot 3.
' Batzli: Lot 3 is the one with the existing house? Okay. In condition 1
where it says the driveway access to Lot 2 shall be located to the far
easterly edge . Did we just decide Lot 2 is the one that borders on Baldur
Avenue?
AI-Jaff: On Lot 2 and Lot 3.
' Krauss: Lot 2 is the one that borders on Baldur .
I
Planning Commission Meeting
May 16, 1990 - Page 7
Batzli: Are we requiring in condition 1 that their driveway access to Lot 1
2 is moved somehow?
Wildermuth: We aren't talking about Lot 2 at all . ,
Krauss: Oh I see what you're saying.
Batzli: So that should be Lot 3 in condition 1?
Krauss: Yeah, the surveyer when he put the numbers on the map had a search
and find game. The numbers are on there. They're in the corner . Lot 3 is,
the one with the existing home down by the lake. Lot 2 is the one, over by
Baldur . Lot 1 is the new lot that will be made available through
development . We need to change the conditions to reflect that . Condition
1 should be access to Lot 3. That 's right.
Batzli: Driveway access to Lot 3? '
Krauss: Right .
Batzli : Shall be located to the far easterly edge of Lot. '
Krauss: No . That 's the new condition that we're suggesting . That 's I
driveway access to Lot 2. No I 'm sorry , Lot 1 needs to be located as far
on the property.
Emmings: Another way to word that one would be just that maybe prior to II
constructing the driveway on Lot 1 , they should get approval for it 's
location from the City Engineer . That's what I thought and just avoid all
these. '
Batzli : Yeah, okay. Is there, I seem to remember it seems like years ago
now talking about what the appropriate separation for private drives onto a
collector . Is there some sort of an ordinance in the City about the ,
minimum distance between driveways?
. Krauss: No, not for residential use. '
Batzli: Not for residential?
Krauss: What we've done is and there are separation distances from ,
intersections on collectors of 150 feet and the engineer 's come up• with
spacing requirements on Park Drive for industrial use but for residences,
no we don't have one. ,
Batzli: Okay. I think it might make more sense for the easements required
that we reflect in the conditions who the easement is for the benefit of. II
In condition 2 for example, sanitary sewer easement would run to the
benefit of the city. And what was the , do you still want an additional
condition regarding the location of that drive if you change condition 1?
We talked earlier about there was a previous condition about locating the
driveway. Does that go away then once you change?
1
Planning Commission Meeting
May 16, 1990 - Page 8
' Krauss: No .
Batzli : Condition 1 is reflected?
Krauss: No , you still have to construct that new driveway for Lot 1 . You
want that to be as far east as possible.
Batzli: But if you changed it to what Steve proposed, that the driveway
access to Lot 1 must be approved by the city, isn't that all taken care of
with the one condition? Okay. I don't have anything else.
' Ellson: I thought I understood it until people starting making all the
changes and got me a little confused. I saw this as we had tabled it or
' whatever to do a little more housecleaning to make sure everything was in
order and all the things were in place and I guess with the changes that
we 've made to some of the wording here , I feel comfortable that what we
wanted to have changed before was changed. The only thing I 'm
uncomfortable with is they want to do some change here that we 're not
really seeing and they wanted to make that one a neck lot and sometimes I 'm
a little squeemish about approving something and then it goes on and it
' maybe isn't what I expected in my head. So the request that we don 't see
here is basically to take that drive and everything that's west of that and
make it part of the lot on top there?
Al-Jaff: Lot 3 .
' Ellson: Lot 3 . Good.
Krauss: If they think there's any problem with it and I can't foresee
there are any variances . . .we can certainly bring it back to you .
' Ellson: Yeah, in general I don't have a problem with it and I just started
to get more confused as it came down the row so I 'll go back to the way I-
' started. Yes , it looks like we cleaned up everything we wanted to have
cleaned up . Go ahead Steve .
Emmings: Where will the line be? There will be the new lot line on Lot 1 .
Oh, you're going to move it back too? And then just follow the edge of the
drive? Okay. In general I wouldn't be in favor of approving something.
We 're approving a plat here and it's not the way the plat's going to look
' and I 'm a little uncomfortable with that as a general principle. If that's
the way it comes in, I 'd be comfortable with that and I don't think we
should hold it up for that reason but if it's anything other than you've
' just drawn on there, then I 'd want to see it again. Otherwise, it looks
reasonable to me .
Conrad: I have no additional comments. Looks fine to me as long as it's
as represented on the overhead . Any other comments?
Emmings: I 'd like to ask Jim, I didn't understand the condition that Jim
wants. I didn't follow that .

Wildermuth: Well that would be that the driveway for Lot 1 be tied into II
the City access for the lift station.
£mmings: You mean the other driveway? '
Wildermuth: Yeah . The existing driveway . I 'd like the engineer to take
another look at that .
Conrad: You may want to make a motion.
Wildermuth: Alright . I move that the Planning Commission approve
Subdivision #89-20 as shown on the plat dated April 16, 1990 subject to thell
following conditions 1 thru 4 with the addition of a fifth condition.
Requesting that the City Engineer review the possibility of tying the
driveway for the housepad in Lot 1 to the city's easement drive. Are there'
any other friendly amendments?
Conrad: Well let 's get the , is there a second? '
Ahrens: Second .
Batzli : I 'm sorry, did you add condition 6 , 7 and 8? You added 5 right . II
Isn't there a 6 , 7 and 8 somewhere? Am I looking at the wrong thing?
Conrad: You 're looking at January 3rd stuff.
Batzli : Okay, what happened to. Oh, they did move that over . The one •
that we were talking about was condition 1 and I don't know what we need to,
do with that .
Wildermuth: Condition 1 changed from the previous submission to this
submission. Condition 1 talked about Lot 2 . But we are talking about Lot II
3.
Batzli : Correct. No I agree but if they do what they're talking about
there then the access and easement isn't required and that's my concern is
that what we're approving isn't what they're going to do according to your
motion. •
Wildermuth: Well there's still an easement required.
Batzli: Not if they do that. ,
Wildermuth: But it would be for Lot 3.
Batzli: No , because the driveway would be located entirely on the flag
coming down Lot 1 .
Wildermuth: Right but the City will still need some legal means of ,
accessing the lift station along that drive right?
Krauss: That 's in condition 2. ,
Planning Commission Meeting
ItMay 16, 1990 - Page 10
IAhrens: You won't need a driveway access .
Emmings: There are a whole bunch of things that have changed in 1 and 2
Iand maybe just as a suggestion, well .
Wildermuth: Well there really is no need for 1 then if the change is made .
IBatzli: Well 1 could be changed to reflect that they're going to attempt
to, well you 've already indicated that they're going to try to get it off
II of the turn around. Tie that into the existing gravel drive. If they
can't do that , there was a proposal that they locate it as far east or west
on that map , whichever way it is, east as possible and that would be
submitted to the City for approval .
IAhrens: They will still need an easement . There will be a need for an
easement if they tie into the Lot 3 lot .
IEmmings: See , there 's a lot of things up in the air . And if you go
through the ones that need easements to it , in number 2(a ), the existing
sanitary sewer easement says it's over Lots 1 and 2 but it's over Lots 3
II and 2 . And ( b), driveway access and utility easement over Lot 1 , Block 1 ,
that 's the same thing again . You don't need that one at all . And (c) , the
utility easement over the sanitary sewer along Lotus Lake, that seems to
IIme , who 's that running in favor of? The City? For what utility?
Krauss: We have a sewer line .
IEmmings: Well I know but that 's , what 's (a) then?
Batzli : Well that was access into the lift station or whatever . That was
II think the intent of that .
Krauss: No, I see what you're saying.
IIEmmings: No, (a ) is the sewer itself.
Ahrens: It says easements required, (a) reflect existing sanitary sewer
IIeasement .
Batzli: Perhaps (c) is intended then to access the other driveway?
IEmmings: It says the sewer along Lotus Lake. That's the one that goes
across 3 and 2 and what used to be Baldur Avenue.
1 Wildermuth: How big a problem is this going to be if we table it and allow
it to be cleaned thoroughly?
I Emmings: The problem is they don't know what they're going to do with the
driveways and it 's hard to figure out what to put in for language in order
to let it go onto the City Council . Again, they put us in a position of
I not knowing what they 're doing and it's hard to figure it out for them . So
maybe they should bring it back . I don't know. I hate to hang it up. It
seems like .
II
Planning Commission Meeting
May 16, 1990 - Page 11 1
Conrad: It should be out of our hands .
Emmings: Once it's cleaned up I know we're going to approve it so why fool
around with it but I don't know how to do it because we don't know what
they 're going to do. We don't know how the driveways are going to be
connected if they are.
Stuart Horn: One of the issues that came up as kind of a surprise is that 'll
the couple who has purchased what we are calling Lot 1 now, they're working
on a mortgage and the problem with mortgages is that there's a question II about having easements for other private parties. There are liability
problems . There's maintenance problems. The mortgage companies are a
little nervous about the idea of sharing a driveway. It's legal but the
couple said they would give up the property that would be kind of northeast,
of the driveway in order to resolve that problem and that 's why the
alignment . I think your thought about having the City Engineer look at
that would be very good . I 'm working on designing the house for that site
and the driveway I think would be kind of dangerous if it were connected u�
at the point where the other driveway comes in. If you're looking over
your left shoulder trying to watch for traffic behind you coming down
Pleasant View , I think the visibility there I think is not real good at thel
existing driveway. It's actually much better for parties on the public
road and on the driveway . If there were a fire , the public safety
t officer . . . because on paper it looks real easy to connect them up or move II
them further east or kind of northeasterly there but if you get out and
actually walk the land, you're talking I think a dangerous slippery
driveway and not much visibility to seeing who's coming and going either
for the people on the public road or the people on the private drive . I
think it wouldn 't work that well if that's . . .
Wildermuth: That 's why we want the City Engineer to take a look at it .
Emmings: I guess as a suggestion , maybe what we should do is approve this
as if the lot lines are changed the way they said they were and as if it 'scl
going to have it's own driveway out to the street . Given that approval an
if they want to change that later or if it needs to be changed later , then
we'll have to worry about whether it has to come back or not. We'll let
the staff decide if they have to come back. If we approve it with it's own'
driveway, that doesn't satisfy Jim's concern but if we approve it with it's
own driveway. If it turns out that the City Engineer determines it can't
have it's own driveway, they could come back. That way there's only a
50-50 chance they'd have to come back. I don't know if that's better or
not. Otherwise, they ought to work all this out and bring it back.
Conrad: Yeah, it's real sloppy right now. Paul , what do you think?
Krauss: You know there's a fair amount of confusion with this. It'd be
nice if all of this got straighten out. On the other hand, I think the
problems are relatively simple once we know how it will end up.
Conrad: We can't make a motion though. ,
Krauss: I understand your difficulty.

get it out of here under some time constraints?
Stuart Horn: We have construction we'd like to start on the house .
Conrad: Soon.
Stuart Horn: It's getting to be a problem because of the time. . .
Conrad: So you'd rather have us move on it right now?

as having the public safety and the engineering people place the driveway .
Conrad: Jim , do you want to withdraw your motion?
Wildermuth: I 'll withdraw the motion .
Conrad: Is there another motion?
Emmings: Yeah , I 'm going to move that the Planning Commission recommend
approval of Subdivision #89-20 as shown on the plat dated April 16 , 1990
subject to the following conditions . Number 1 , a new plat will be
( submitted showing the changes in the configuration of Lot 1 that were
represented to us at the meeting would be the new lot lines of that lot .
The second , what was condition 1 will be striken completely. Condition 2,
easements required . (a ) will say that it will reflect the existing
sanitary sewer easements over Lots 2 and 3 instead of 1 and 2. It will say
2 and 3. Block 1 and Baldur Avenue . And what's down there as (b) will be
striken and what 's down there as ( c ). No, strike what's down there as (c ).
' We'll put in a new (b ) that says that we 've got to get the easement
recorded that gives the City the right over the driveway that services Lot
3, Block 1 . The easement that runs in favor of the City to get access to
the lift station. Then 3 will stay as is. 4 will stay as is. 5 will say
I that the driveway location for Lot 1 must be approved by the City Engineer
prior to any construction of that driveway. I think that 's it.

BACKGROUND
This item appeared in front of the Planning Commission on January '
2, 1990. The proposal then asked for a subdivision of the parcel
into two lots (Attachment #1) . On January 25, 1990, the applicant
requested withholding any action on the subdivision until further 11 notice (Attachment #2) .
The original proposal would have subdivided the site into two lots,
both of which would have had frontage on Pleasant View Road. The
existing home, located near Lotus Lake, would have had frontage
provided by a long 90 foot wide neck out to the street.
There are two issues that remained undresolved at the Jqauary 2nd
meeting. The first had to do with Baldur Avenue, an undeveloped
right-of-way that was partially owned by the City. The resulting
lot configuration was highly unusual since Baldur Avenue is located
a distance from the bulk of the parcel. Questions were raised
regarding the disposition of the unusual right-of-way potential
uses, and access to a lot located on Horseshoe Curve. Quyestions
were also raised regarding the City's request to confirm an
easement over the existing dirveway to a lift station located along
the lake.
Since the last meeting, there have been several actions related to
this proposal. The City vacated its interest in a portion of the
unused Baldur Avenue ROW since there wags no public purpose in
retaining it. Secondly, the City Council adopted a new ordinance
that allows lots to be served by private driveways in limited
circumstances. This eliminated the need for Lot 3 to have directed
frontage on Pleasant View. The final factor is that the property
owner was able to negotiate an agreement with the owners of the lot
on Horseshoe Curve. They agreed to an exchange of land whereby the
lot would be incorporated into the plat and land would be exchanged
to satisfy both owners.
ANALYSIS
•
The applicant is proposing to subdivide 3 lots from a 5.0 acre
parcel. Two of the lots are existing and occupied by existing
homes. The plat allows the lot lines to be relocated. In
addition, a new 1.21 acre lot located on Pleasant View Road will be
created. This lot will be made available for new construction.
Lot 3, Block 1 will have no street frontage but will be accessed by
a private driveway. Section 18-57 (o) permits up to four lots to
be served by a private driveway if the City finds the following
conditions to exist:
1. The prevailing development pattern makes it infeasible or
inappropriate to construct a public street. '
* A driveway exists at the present time and serves the existing
house. Based upon a review of the surrounding area, staff has
concluded that a street extension would not serve additional
parcels and could result in extensive tree loss.

2. After reviewing the surrounding area, it is concluded that an
extension of the public street system is not required to serve
other parcels in the area and prove access or to provide
street system consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
* At the present time only one residence will be utilizing the
' private driveway and an extension of the public street is not
required to serve other parcels. In the future, it is
possible that Lot 3 could be further subdivided but if an
additional lot is created it could be adequately served by an
upgraded private driveway.
3. The use of a private driveway will permit enhanced protection
of wetlands and mature trees.
* The site is heavily wooded, should the applicant provide a
' street up to city standards, a large number of trees would
have to be removed. As it stands right now, no additional
trees will be removed.
Lot 1, Block 1 will be served by a driveway accessed on Pleasant
Y
View Road. The standard utility and drainage easements are being
' provided along the lot lines of the plat. Public utilities are
available at the site. Both lots will be served directly by
driveways from Pleasant View Road. The lots are large enough so
' that both have sufficient area to be further subdivided. Lot 3 can
be split into several additional home sites. Lot 1 would be
difficult to subdivide further due to the location of the existing
' driveway and probable location of the new home.
Streets
' The proposed driveway that will serve Lot 1, Block 1 is accessed on
Pleasant View Road. A private driveway that serves Lot 3, Block 1
runs across Lot 1. On busy streets such as Pleasant View Road,
' staff would normally consider the feasibility of requiring that the
two lots share a driveway, since reducing the number of curb cuts
promotes traffic safety. In this case, due to topography and tree
' coverage, shared driveways are not recommended. However, the
driveway location should be a minimum of 100 feet from Horseshoe
Curve to maintain adequate sight distance. This location is
illustrated on the current submittal. To ensure that future owners
' are aware of the required driveway location on Lot 1, an
appropriate notice should be placed in the chain of title. A
driveway and utility cross easement should also be placed in the
' chain of title.
The applicant is dedicating 33 feet from the the center of Pleasant
View Road to the City for the potential future expansion of
' Pleasant View Road. The existing lot is currently platted to the
centerline of the street. Baldur Avenue exists as a paper street.
The westerly 15 feet of Baldur Avenue was recently vacated and the
' applicant is in ownership of the easterly 15 feet of Baldur Avenue.
The applicant is proposing to add the southerly 215 feet of Baldur
Avenue to Lot 2, Block 1 in return for a triangular shaped portion
Sathre Subdivision
IF

Page 4
of Lot 2 located on the southwest of Lot 2. The applicant's
property extends to include a portion of Horseshoe Curve. The
applicant is proposing to dedicate the 15 foot wide portion
I
Horseshoe Curve, which he owns, back to the City. This will
benefit Lot 2 by giving it street frontage, as at the Rresent time,.
Lot 2 has a cross access easement to enter the property. The cross II access easement was granted by the applicant to Lot 2. A right-of-
way easement exists on the easterly portion of Baldur Avenue. The
applicant is requesting vacation of this easement. The City does
not need this easement and recommends vacation of the right-of-way
I
easement. This proposed solution for Baldur Avenue is supported by
staff. It will prevent the creation of remnant lots and will
provide the necessary lot frontage for Lot 2, Block 1.
I
Park Dedication/Tree Preservation
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that park dedication
I
fees be required in lieu of parkland. A tree preservation plan
should be prepared.
Easements I
The City is requesting an easement over the existing driveway to
I
obtain access to a lift station located on the southeast corner of
Lot 1, Block 1. The driveway easement was dedicated to the City in
1977 but was not recorded. The City has used this easement
continuously to provide access to the lift station. A sanitary
I
sewer exists over the southerly portion of Lot 1, Block 1, Lot 2,
Block 1 and extends over Baldur Avenue. This easement over the
sewer line must be shown on the final plat. Typical easements have
I
been provided, 5 feet on the side and rear lot lines and 10 feet on
the front lot line.
