The project proposes to <br />combine all parcels into one, to be subdivided with the vacated right of way. The first policy <br />question for the Planning Commission and the Council is to determine the appetite to vacate the <br />right of way necessary to support the development. <br />PID <br />Comp Plan <br />Zone <br />Area <br />711723210002 <br />Rural Residential <br />RR -1B <br />10.09 <br />711723210007 <br />Low -Medium Density <br />Residential <br />LR -1B <br />1.66 <br />711723210016 <br />Low -Medium Density <br />Residential <br />LR -1B <br />1.26 <br />711723210006 <br />Low -Medium Density <br />Residential <br />LR -1B <br />0.41 <br />The total project area, including rights of way, is 14.8 acres. <br />Right of Way Vacation. The right of way forming the north portion of planned Lot 5, and the <br />eastern portion of lots 5, 6, and 7 may connect to Lake Minnetonka. The DNR will be included in <br />the formal review process. Generally, the City avoids vacating right of ways that serve as lake <br />access. Further review is necessary, but perhaps a portion of the right of way should be <br />retained to provide that access, and remaining sections vacated. <br />
