4. Lot 3 currently has an outhouse located on the property and Lot 4 has an existing garage <br /> and an existing cabin. These structures are currently accessed by a driveway that runs <br /> 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 may be <br /> constructed should future property owners wish to have lake access. <br /> 6. The lot areas and dimension conform to the requirements of the Residential zone. <br /> 7. The lot layouts are compatible with the existing layout of adjoining properties and do not <br /> constrain the development of other properties in the area as the lots are locked in by <br /> North Sluetter Road to the west, Sibley Lake to the east, and a large wetland area to the <br /> north. <br /> 8. Side lot lines are at right angles to straight road lines, radial where they meet with the cul- <br /> 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 Sluetter <br /> Road. <br /> 10. The proposed North Sluetter Road indicated on the plat would serve as an extension of <br /> the existing road to the South. The proposed plat would extend the road, which currently <br /> 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 be <br /> located in a relatively flat area with the greatest gradient being approximately 8%. <br /> 12. The proposed street would include 33 feet of right-of-way in this plat with the additional <br /> 33 feet of right-of-way to the west to be acquired from the State of Minnesota. <br /> 13. The proposed cul-de-sac would have a 68-foot radius on the half located on this property. <br /> The road easement that may be obtained from the State of Minnesota to the west would <br /> provide the western half of the turnaround, but would be rectangular rather than <br /> curvilinear. <br /> 14. The proposed road does not provide access to the adjacent property to the north. That <br /> adjacent property, however, has not had access in the past and is mostly unbuildable as it <br /> is covered in wetlands. There is also possibility of access to this property from the north. <br /> The Planning Commission also recommends that the following conditions be included with <br /> the motion to approve: <br /> 1. The additional 33 feet of right-of-way to the west shall be acquired from the State of <br /> Minnesota. <br /> 2. The existing outhouse on Lot 3 and the existing cabin on Lot 4 shall be removed. In <br /> addition, the existing driveway shall be abandoned. <br /> 3. The existing garage on Lot 4 shall be removed within six months of approval of the final <br /> plat if a land use permit for a principle structure has not been obtained. <br /> 3. Rezoning from Multi-Family Residential to Transition Residential,PINS 290104100BA0009 <br /> &290104100BB0009,Carl& Colleen Smith,City of Pequot Lakes. <br /> The Smith properties are located just to the north of downtown, east of Highway 371 and are <br /> approximately 9 and 16.5 acres in size. Both properties were previously zoned Multi-Family <br /> Residential and the proposed new zoning for each of the properties is Transition Residential. <br /> Mr. Smith has indicated to Staff that he would like to redevelop this property, along with the <br /> adjoining property to the northeast, and would like to rezone to Urban Residential. <br /> 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 <br /> Baxter, MN 56401 <br /> (218) 828-3064 <br /> www.communitygrowth.com <br />
