2. Lot 1 contains a substantial portion of the property area as wetlands, with 43,310 <br /> square feet indicated as wetland. The property also has bluff that runs to the <br /> southeast and steep slopes (greater than 12%) in the eastern portion of the <br /> property, which limits development to the southeastern portion of the property. <br /> 3. Each lot has sufficient area for the placement of two standard soil sewage <br /> treatment systems. <br /> 4. Lot 3 currently has an outhouse located on the property and Lot 4 has an existing <br /> garage and an existing cabin. These structures are currently accessed by a <br /> driveway that runs from the existing cul-de-sac on North Sluetter Road. <br /> 5. Additional means have not been proposed to access the lake, but stairways or lifts <br /> may be constructed should future property owners wish to have lake access. <br /> 6. The lot areas and dimensions conform to the requirements of the Residential zone <br /> 7. The lot layouts are compatible with the existing layout of adjoining properties and <br /> do not constrain the development of other properties in the area as the lots are <br /> locked in by North Sluetter Road to the west, Sibley Lake to the east, and a large <br /> wetland area to the north. <br /> 8. Side lot lines are at right angles to straight road lines, radial where they meet with <br /> the cul-de-sac, and do not contain unnecessary bends or jogs. <br /> 9. Each lot has a minimum of 33 feet of frontage on public right-of-way on North <br /> Sluetter Road. <br /> 10. The proposed North Sluetter Road indicated on the plat would serve as an <br /> extension of the existing road to the South. The proposed plat would extend the <br /> road, which currently ends in a small cul-de-sac, by 420 feet. <br /> 11. The proposed street would not have a gradient in excess of 12% as the road would <br /> be located in a relatively flat area with the greatest gradient being approximately <br /> 8%. <br /> 12. The proposed street would include 33 feet of right-of-way in this plat with the <br /> additional 33 feet of right-of-way to the west to be acquired from the State of <br /> Minnesota. <br /> 13. The proposed cul-de-sac would have a 68-foot radius on the half located on this <br /> property. The road easement that may be obtained from the State of Minnesota to <br /> the west would provide the western half of the turnaround, but would be <br /> rectangular rather than curvilinear. <br /> 14. The proposed road does not provide access to the adjacent property to the north. <br /> That adjacent property, however, has not had access in the past and is mostly <br /> unbuildable as it is covered in wetlands. There is also possibility of access to this <br /> property from the north. <br /> subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. The additional 33 feet of right-of-way to the west shall be acquired from the State <br /> of Minnesota. <br /> 2. The existing outhouse on Lot 3 and the existing cabin on Lot 4 shall be removed. <br /> In addition, the existing driveway shall be abandoned. <br /> 3. The existing garage on Lot 4 shall be removed within six months of approval of <br /> the final plat if a land use permit for a principle structure has not been obtained. <br /> Planning Commission 4 <br /> August 18, 2005 <br />
