EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
Otsego Mayor and City Council
Otsego Planning Commission
Bob Kirmis / David Licht
13 August 1997
Otsego - Buirge CUP
176.02 - 97.14
Tony and Leah Buirge have requested a conditional use permit to allow the establishment
of a residential lot size greater than 2.5 acres in size within an A-1, Agricultural Rural
Service District. Specifically, the Buirges wish to create a 10.0 acre residential parcel of
land located north of 65th Street, between Highway 101 and River Road.
According to applicable A-1 Zoning District provisions, residential lot sizes larger than 2.5
acres which are part of a one per quarter -quarter split may only be allowed via conditional
use permit.

10. All applicable A-1 District setbacks are satisfactorily met.
11. Comments of other City staff.
ISSUES ANALYSIS
CUP Review Criteria, Section 4.2.F of the City's Zoning Ordinance establishes a specific
set of review criteria to be used in consideration of conditional use permit requests. The
Ordinance specifically states that the Planning Commission and City Council must
consider possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. Their judgement shall
be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors_
1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
2_ The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
3, The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein
(i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
5. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which it is proposed.
6. Traffic gsneration by the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving
the property.
7. The proposed use's impact upon existing public services and facilities including
parks, schools, streets, and utilities and its potential to overburden the City's
service capacity.
Justification. The applicants wish to create a residential lot 10 acres in size within an
A-1 Zoning District_ According to Section 20-51-5.G.2 of the City Zoning Ordinance,
residential lot sizes larger than 2.5 acres may be allowed within the A-1 Zoning District via
conditional use permit. Such lot must not, however, exceed 10 acres in size and must be
a result of one of the following:
1. Existing buildings occupying an area larger than the lot size minimum; or
2. The land involved in the subdivision is non -tillable and marginal for use in
agricultural production.

Sewer and Water Systems. The submitted site plan illustrates specific sewage treatment
locations. Additionally, however, the site plan should be modified to illustrate the proposed
well location. As a further condition of CUP approval, the City Engineer and/or Building
Official must make a determination that the proposed development site is capable of
sustaining a private well and septic system.
Setbacks. It is anticipated that proposed building setbacks will change as a result of the
recommended lot size reduction. As a condition of CUP approval, the proposed residence
must meet all applicable A-1 principal building setbacks as identified below:
Front Yard 35 feet
Side Yard 30 feet
Rear Yard 50 feet
Easements. As required by the City Subdivision Ordinance, 10 foot wide utility and
drainage easements must be provided along all lot lines. In addition, a drainage easement
should be placed over the site's wetland. The City Engineer should provide
recommendation in regard to any further easement establishment including easement over
the site's wetland. All site easements shall be subject to City Engineer approval.
Park Dedication. As a condition of subdivision approval, the newly created lot should be
subject to park dedication requirements as determined by the Park and Recreation
Committee.
CONCLUSIOIN
The proposed 10 acre residential lot does not satisfy applicable Ordinance evaluation
critaria as the majority of land involved is, according to the Wright County Soils Survey,
considered tillable. Provided the "upland" area of the fat (excessive of wetlands) is reduced
to 2.5 acres, our office would recommend approval of the requested conditional use permit
suniect to the conditions listed in the Executive Summary of this report.
