Background
Currently, the applicant owns a 46.02-acre parcel located on 11943 Lever Court NE in eastern Blaine. This area is part of the Northeast Planning Area and is located inside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The final plat is intended to meet the intent and future design standards of the City of Blaine’s Northeast Area Plan Amendment.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the parcel to create two lots and one outlot. Lot 1 will be for the existing home, Lot 2 is for a single family home, and the outlot is for possible future development. Outlot A could possibly be subdivided into urban lots in the future, from the west through the Woodland Village development. However, the outlot would need to be re-platted because building permits are not issued for structures on an outlot.
With platting, connection charges for city sanitary sewer and water become due for Lot 2. The current rates (2019) for the charges are (per lot): sanitary trunk, $1,870; sanitary lateral, $4,850; sanitary service, $818; water lateral, $4,504; and water service, $1,099, for a total of $13,141. When future subdivisions or utility connections occur on Lot 1 or on Outlot A, the properties will be subject to connection charges for trunk sanitary sewer, lateral sanitary sewer and service, and lateral water and service.
The existing accessory building on Lot 1 is permitted as a part of the existing CUP (granted in 2013) and is required to be used for personal use only. The creation of Lot 2 creates a setback of only 25 feet from the property line for the accessory building. The sheltering of domestic farm animals (horses included) requires the building to be setback from the property line 50 feet. Therefore, animals will not be permitted to be sheltered in the existing accessory building.
The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 19-21.
