FILE #16-3875 <br />October 17, 2016 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />portion of the lot. The buildable portion of the lot sits higher than the Crystal Bay Road. The <br />subject property is 14,875 square feet, smaller than the 1/2 acre minimum lot size for the <br />district. Additionally, the encroachment of Crystal Bay Road further reduces the lot area of the <br />property. Lot area calculations for homes in this area do not include the land area or hard cover <br />of Crystal Bay Road. The effective lot size is 12,841 square feet, and is used for the following <br />analysis of the variance. <br />Access to the home will be via an existing gravel drive within Hennepin County right of way and <br />parallel to the Dakota Rail Trail. <br />Further, an existing water -main runs between 9 and 23 feet north of the southern property line. <br />Though a portion of this watermain encroaches further into the lot, is located generally within <br />vacated Kenwood Way, which was vacated in 1967. Per the vacation resolution #299 at that <br />time, an easement was to be retained. The location of this watermain impacts available <br />locations for the home, as staff has advised the property owner to be 10 feet back from the <br />watermain to facilitate future maintenance repairs, effectively increasing the setback to 19-33 <br />feet. Staff recommends that an easement be retained per the original vacation document. <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br />Section 78-350 - Setbacks: <br />LR -1C DISTRICT <br />Required (Feet) <br />Proposed (Feet) <br />Rear <br />30 <br />11 <br />Side (north) <br />10 <br />10 <br />Side (south) <br />10 <br />13.7 <br />Lakeshore <br />75' <br />64 <br />lection 78-350 - Lot Area/Width: <br />LR -1C DISTRICT Lot Area Lot Width <br />Required 21,780 s.f.
