VIA EMAIL <br /> 1951 Concordia Street john@waldronlaw.com <br /> Wayzata, MN 55391-9320 <br /> Re: 1245 Arbor Street <br /> Mr.Waldron, <br /> Thank you for meeting with me on Monday,April 19th to discuss possible options to subdivide 1245 Arbor Street. <br /> I was asked to review the information provided and identify options to create a second lot on the property. <br /> My Findings: <br /> The properties were combined in or around December, 2009. Prior to that,via resolution 5888,the City Council <br /> released the parcels for sale,subject to the condition that the purchaser legally combine the parcels. • <br /> When the Council considered sewer stubs for the property,they consciously decided on one sewer connection, <br /> even though there were two lots at the time,citing the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the former PID <br /> ending in 0073 is not considered a buildable lot by itself. (Resolution 1798) <br /> The property is 0.64 acres, in a zoning district that requires 2.0 acres of gross land area and 200 feet of frontage. <br /> The combination of the property on December 4, 2009 created the lot;the lot of record rules and regulations <br /> found in Section 78-72, and summarized in exhibit E of section 6 of your packet no longer apply. <br /> Options: <br /> The city has some scenarios where a flexible zoning district can be applied, RPUD, PUD, and PRD: <br /> • PUD is applicable only to parcels in the Navarre area or in the Highway 12 Corridor(Sec 78-1001). <br /> This parcel is in neither. <br /> • PRD is applicable to parcels in the Shoreland Overlay District. One of the benefits of the PRD is that <br /> it allows for an alternative minimum lot standard,with no increase of in density. This parcel is <br /> permitted one unit(Sections 78-601 and 78-1327). <br /> • RPUD is for the implementation of certain housing goals of the Comp Plan. There is a S acre <br /> minimum lot size for a RPUD development, noted in Section 78-626,with some exceptions: <br /> "Sec.78-626.-Development standards. <br /> Within the RPUD district all development shall be in compliance with the following: <br /> • <br /> (1) Minimum area;shoreland district limitation. Each site proposed for rezoning to RPUD shall <br /> have a minimum area of five acres, excluding areas within a designated wetland,floodplain or <br />
