12690.2 <br />To:Planning Commission Chairman Kelley <br />Orono Planning Commission Members <br />City Administrator Bernhardson <br />Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Date:December 6, 1990 <br />Subject: Residential Lakeshore Lot Standards - Proposed Revision <br />To Lot Width Determination <br />List of Exhibits <br />m Exhibit A <br />Exhibit B <br />Exhibit C <br />Draft Wording Options <br />Existing Code Sections (definitions) <br />Sketches - Effect of Various Measuring Points <br />Discussion ** <br />H-m The zoning code does not clearly define for lakeshore lots <br />the points at which required lot width should be measured. <br />f. <br />The definition of lot width defines the measuring point at <br />the "rear of the required front yard". A lakeshore lot, y <br />definition, does not have a front yard (it has a lakeshore yard <br />and a rear yard). The definition of lot width must be revised to <br />define the measuring points for lakeshore lots (or the definition <br />of "lakeshore lot" must be redefined to include a front yard, <br />which results in other code difficulties). <br />t' <br />Four obvious readily-definable lines could be used for <br />measuring lakeshore lot width. These include: <br />a) the shoreline; <br />b) the rear line of the required lakeshore yard (i.e. the <br />75' setback line); <br />c) the rear of the defined "rear yard" (i.e. at the required <br />setback from the street); <br />d) at the front (or street) lot line <br />If you so desire, the lot width could be required to be met <br />at more than one point within the lot. <br />'•iTx <br />m <br />• • '-'l. <br />m <br />•I. <br />i^ Tii rnrrili
