Section 10.28, Subdivision 5 (B): Lot Area: The lot is 1.64 acres where 2 acres is the minimum <br />lot area for the RR-IB zoning district for new construction. <br />Application Summary: The applicant owns the subject property and is requesting a lot area <br />variance to construct a new residence on the lot. The existing residence that was constructed in the <br />early 1950's will be demolished. <br />The lot is approximately 1.64 acres and the minimum lot area requirement is 2 acres. A lot area <br />variance is required to construct a new residence. <br />The subject property is currently serviced by an on-site septic system. The property was brought into <br />the MUSA with the adoption of the 2000-2020 Community Management Plan. The property owner <br />has indicated his preference is to have sewer brought to the property. He has been working with <br />Greg Gappa, Public Works Director, regarding how to bring to the property. Sewer is in the <br />neighborhood and several surrounding properties. An easement is needed to bring from the adjacent <br />properties or via Brown Road. If it is determined not feasible, then an approved primary and <br />alternate septic site would be needed prior to issuance of a building permit. <br />IV02-2824 Betz Builders <br />1043 Brown Roads <br />8/31/2002 <br />Page I of2 <br />1
