Case No: 85 -18
Applicant: J. B. Doughty Jr.
Location: 6 East St. Albans Road
Request: Waiver of Platting Requirements to divide lot
STAFF FINDINGS & COMMENTS: Anderson
I. Applicant is proposing to divide a single parcel of land into two separate
building sites at 6 East St. Albans Road. The applicant is proposing to
build a house on what would be the easterly lot should the division be
approved.
2. The subject property is zoned R -1 -D which requires 20,000 sq. ft. of lot
area. The easterly most lot of the division would contain approximately
56267.75 square feet with frontage of 280 feet on Atwater Street and a
westerly lot approximately 26391 square feet with a frontage of 151.32 feet
on St. Albans Road.
3. The applicant is proposing to have access to the easterly parcel from St. Albans
. Road which would require an easement from the westerly lot. The surrounding
houses are not within close proximity of the proposed home.
4. The applicant has contacted the Minnehaha Watershed District and received
approval.
5. A similar division was approved by Zoning and Planning in April '84 at
10600 Minnetonka Boulevard.
6. It has been usual policy for the Commission to grant a waiver of the plat on
a single division provided the lots created are legal and with approval con-
tingent upon acceptance by Hennepin County Recorder of the division.

Re: Flood elevation just downstream of Highway 73 embankment
Dear Mr- Doughty:
As I related to you and your wife during several recent telephone conversations,
the estimated 100 -year flood elevation in the reach of Minnehaha Creek near
your proposed building site is 912.2 (MSL). This information is given in the
FIA Flood Insurance Study prepared in November, 1980 for the City of Hopkins.
A minimum building elevation of at least two feet above this elevation is
recommended. While it is difficult to determine the effects of placing the
basement bottom to the 912 elevation without more detailed study, appropriate
protection measures for the basement walls would probably prevent water from
entering through the walls during this type of event.
I also indicated to you during our last conversation that the County has plans
to replace the culverts under Highway 73. This will have an effect on the
levels in this area. The levels will certainly not drop and at best will stay
the same.
If you need more information, please contact me at 473 -4224.
Very truly yours,
