Since the <br />three lots would have access off Thom Drive, a County right-of-way permit would not be <br />required. <br /> <br />Lake Johanna Fire Department <br />The Lake Johanna Fire Department has reviewed the plans and does not have any comments at <br />this time. <br /> <br />Rice Creek Watershed District <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) is charged with reviewing and approving the <br />stormwater management and drainage plan for the project. RCWD has reviewed the plans and <br />granted the project CAPROC status (Conditionally Approved Pending Receipt of Changes) as of <br />January 29, 2018 (Attachment K). Site work cannot begin until all pending items are satisfied. A <br />copy of the approved RCWD permit will need to be provided before the City signs the Final Plat. <br /> <br /> <br />Findings of Fact <br /> <br />Staff offers the following findings of fact for consideration: <br /> <br />1. The property at 3685 New Brighton Road is located in the R-2 – Single and Two-Family <br />Residential Zoning District. <br />2. The subject property is 83,253 square feet in size with approximately 124 feet on <br />frontage on New Brighton Road and 378 feet of frontage on Thom Drive. <br />3. The subject property is currently comprised of a single-family residential dwelling, <br />detached garage, and shed. <br />4. The City has an existing lift station located along the southern line of the subject property <br />along Thom Drive. This lift station is located on private property and the City has a <br />utility easement that permits the City to operate and maintain the lift station. <br />5. The applicant has requested a Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Vacation of Easement in <br />order to subdivide the subject property to create three (3) lots for single-family residential <br />dwellings. <br />6. The proposed Horita Acres subdivision meets the Minimum Subdivision Design <br />Standards included in Section 1130 of the Arden Hills City Code. <br />7. The park dedication requirement for this application is six percent of the buildable land <br />area in the subdivision or a park dedication fee of $6,500 per lot. Six percent of the <br />development would be 0.11 acres which would not allow for a feasible park area. The <br />park dedication fee of $6,500 per new lot will be applied in this case. <br />8. The proposed Horita Acres subdivision meets or will be required to meet the Required <br />Improvements for subdivisions included in Section 1140 of the Arden Hills City Code. <br />9. The proposed Horita Acres subdivision would result in three (3) lots that would conform <br />to the minimum lot area and dimension requirements for the R-2 District.
