AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: J. Barnhart Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR <br /> <br />building pad, though wetland buffer size will limit the pad site. <br /> <br /> <br />2480 Carman, Lot 1. This rectangular lot meets the area and width requirements of the zoning <br />district, and is a lake lot. The County will need to approve the driveway location. A portion of <br />the wetland and its buffer encroach onto the lot, but a buildable site is maintained. <br /> <br />2480 Carman, Lot 2. This lot currently includes the house on 2480 Carman, and sits at the <br />eastern end of the peninsula, with lagoon on two sides, and Lake Minnetonka (Carman Bay) <br />forming the third side. While the lot meets the area and width* requirements, this lot is <br />irregularly shaped, with a long skinny portion extending north of the lagoon, to Shoreline Drive. <br />This portion is necessary to get to the 1 acre dry-buildable requirement. The portion of the lot <br />north of the lagoon does not meet the width requirement. <br /> <br />Based on the revised plans, the primary questions for the Council include: <br />1. Is there interest in the reclamation of 400 sq ft of wetland (to support Tract B)? <br />2. Is there interest in maintaining the non-conforming lot width of Tract A? <br />3. Is there interest in the potentially nonconforming lot width for the finger of land north of <br />the lagoon (Lot 2)? <br />4. Is there general support for the lot layout as proposed? <br /> <br />A secondary question is the two proposed lots south of the inlet share a private driveway with a <br />3rd lot off of Carman, the city ordinances allow two properties to share a driveway. This proposal <br />does not increase nor improve this non-conformity. <br /> <br />3. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On February 18th, the Planning Commission <br />reviewed the project, and provided feedback on the original plan, they have not reviewed the <br />revised plans. Previously, the Planning Commission noted the challenges with creating <br />conforming lots [due to the amount of land available], but did not support a waiver of the lot area <br />requirements. <br /> <br />4. Public Comment. To date, no comments have been received in support or opposition to the <br />request. <br /> <br />5. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the City Council provide feedback. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Staff requests feedback. No formal action is requested. <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />A.
