Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends the Commission determine if the practical difficulties and other standards are addresses satisfactorily. Background The applicant desires to replat the property to provide Lot 1 with lake frontage on the lagoon (west) side of the property and an easement through Lot 1 to serve Lot 2. Replatting will be a separate process. Plat History. The properties involved are Outlot A and Lot 1, Block 1 of Ivy Place, a subdivision approved in June of 2018 (Final Plat, Exhibit C). Outlot A is owned by the original developer (now represented by the applicant) and Lot 1 is owned by Russell Kocon and Jacqueline Gibney. Ivy Place was originally divided into three parcels as part of the Casco Point Addition plat. These three parcels did not have direct connection to a public or private street; access was provided via an easement, since vacated. In 2017, the developer filed a subdivision application, and prepared a plat showing the two new building sites in a front lot/ back lot configuration. A front lot/ back lot configuration allows for subdivision when a property does not have sufficient frontage on a street to satisfy the lot width requirements for both lots. Both lots are lake lots, lot width is measured at the lake and 75 feet landward. In lieu of street frontage, an access outlot is required. For Ivy Place, the required outlot is located along the west portion of the plat, adjacent to the lagoon side of the peninsula and Lot 1. Lot 2 has lake frontage on the two sides, lot 1 has lake frontage only on the east (Carman Bay) side. Dock Requirements. Docks are permitted to property owners with lake frontage, along their lake frontage. As noted above, Lot 1 does not have Lake Frontage on the lagoon side.
