To: Chair McCutcheon and Planning Commission Members <br /> Adam Edwards, City Administrator <br /> <br />From: Melanie Curtis, Planner mcc <br /> <br />Date: 18 April 2022 <br /> <br />Subject: #LA22-000012, Sven Gustafson – Stonewood LLC <br />2987 and 3005 Casco Point Rd and PID 20-117-23-34-0027 <br />Sketch Plan <br /> <br />Background <br />The Hartzell Addition was platted in 1985. Each of the lots are conforming with respect to area <br />and width. Lot 1 containing the tennis court was platted as a non-lakeshore lot; Lots 2 and 3 <br />were platted as lakeshore lots. <br /> <br />Proposal <br />The applicant is proposing to re-plat all three lots. They are requesting informal feedback on <br />their sketch plan proposal to move the lot lines in order to create one more lakeshore lot. In <br />order to create a third lakeshore lot, one of the three lots will become nonconforming with <br />respect to width. Their proposal reflects movement of the shared lot lines on all three <br />properties. As a result, the existing Lot 3 (3005 Casco Point Rd) is proposed to be 65 feet wide at <br />the ordinary high water level (OHWL), and 75 feet wide at the 75-foot setback where 100 feet is <br />required. As proposed, each lot is shown to have a conforming building envelope. If positive <br />feedback is provided by Planning Commission and Council on the proposal, they intend to <br />proceed with a preliminary plat application. <br /> <br />Applicable Regulations: <br />Lot Width Variance (Sec 78-350) <br />The LR-1C district requires 100 feet in width at the ordinary high water level (OHWL) and at the <br />75-foot setback for Lake Minnetonka. Together, the properties have an approximate 264 feet in <br />width as measured at the OHWL and 285 feet at the 75-foot setback. There should be at least <br />300 feet at these points to support three lakeshore lots. <br /> <br />According to City Code Section 78-1 Definitions., Lot width means the horizontal distance <br />between side lot lines measured at the following locations: <br />(1) For lots which do not abut a lake or tributary, at the rear of the required front yard, <br />measured parallel to the front lot line. <br /> <br />(2) For lots which abut a lake or tributary, at the shoreline measured in a straight line <br />between the points at which the side lot lines intersect the OHWL, and at the required <br />structure setback from the OHWL, measured in a straight line between the points of <br />intersection of the side lot lines with the structure setback line.
