MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MELTING Monday. July 21,2003 6:00 o'clock p.m. («18 1^03-2926 WALTER RINGER JR.« CoatlnHcd) the OHWL, Lot 1 may or may not meet this requirement. c) Lot 2, as a lakeshore back lot. must also meet the width requirement at the rear of the required front yard. The required front yard by definition (11.30 Subd. S(CM2Kb)] of Lot 2 is the yard abutting the boundary line between Lots 1 and 2. Lot 2 appears to meet the 200* width as measured along the rear of the front yard; however, the lino depicting the front yard is shown with a 30* setback rather than the 75* setback required, because the back lot yard requirements are 1 S0*/o of the district standard requirements. d) The rear yard of Lot 2 is the line abutting the RR right-of-way and requires a 75' setback, c) The line between Lots 2 and 3 is a side lot line, requiring a 45* setback rather than 30' as shown. I) Lots 1 and 3 aie considered as "front lots" because they abut an Outlot driveway >erv ing a back lot. As front lots, they are subject to a Sfy setback requirerrent from the Outlot (per 11.30 Subd. S(CK3)] which is shown as only a 30* setback on the proposed plat. This becomes critical if the e.xisting house is intended to remain, because it is only 40* from the Outlot rather than the 50* required. 5. Road Layout aad Slaadards The proposed road corridor is 50* in width as required by the Subdivision Code and CMP for a local private road. Tbc standard paved w idth for this road would be 2?'. The use of the front/back lot configuration as opposed to continuing the cul-de-sac to Lot 2. is worthy of discussion. The subdivision ordinance regarding applicable uses of the back lot (11.30 Subd. S(CK I) states: 6. Parfc/Trail Easemeats or Drdkalton Needed The City has no current plans for trails or parks that require dedication of land from this property. However, the southerly point of the property brings the shore of Lake Minnetonka nearly to the base of the railroad gr^e. w hich is a unique configuration that should be looked at by the Park Conunission to determine w hether the dedication of land could result in regional trail access to the lakcshore. 7. Road Improvcflicats aad/or EaseoMats Needed The City will require a Road. Drainage and Utilities Easement over the private road, which should he platted as an outlot. Further, this plat should not go forward except in conjunction w ith an upgrade to City private road standards of the private road w ithin the Murphy property. The applicant's property does not abut a public road but is about 800 feet south of North Shore PAGE 33 of 37
