Re: Subdivision Creating an Additional Lot with Variances
Planning Case #09-02
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Senn:
This letter is to formally notify you that on March 23, 2009, the Chanhassen City
Council voted unanimously to approve the following motion:
"The City Council approves Alternate B for Planning Case 09-02 with a variance
to allow a private street with a width of less than 20 feet and less than a 7-ton
design, and the subdivision creating two lots as outlined in the staff report, subject
to the following conditions and adoption of the Findings of Fact for Alternate B:
1. Approval of the subdivision by registered land survey is contingent upon
compliance with the conditions of approval and recording of the new parcel with
the Carver County Recorder's office before a building permit is issued.
2. A grading plan must be submitted for review and approval and shall comply
with the City Code.
3. A utility plan must be submitted showing the existing sanitary sewer and
water services to the existing home, the existing gas, electric, cable and
telephone services to the existing home and the proposed sanitary sewer and
water services to the new lot. Also show existing lateral sanitary sewer and
watermain on the property.
4. A drainage and utility easement must encompass any portion of the new
services that crosses another property. The easement width shall extend a
minimum of 10 feet, on center, from the service and shall be dedicated to the
benefitting property. Drainage and utility easements over the existing laterals
on the property must be shown. Required public easements shall be dedicated
at the width specified by the Engineering Department.
5. If the sanitary sewer and/or water service are extended from the utilities
within Willow View Cove, an escrow must be posted for the restoration of the
street. The escrow amount will be determined when the utility plan is
submitted since the extent of excavation is unknown at this time. The escrow
will not be released until it is deemed the area is in satisfactory condition after
one freeze-thaw cycle.
