EiscmciiCs The sim*c>' docs not show any existing easements along interior lot lines uliich will be moved. Any existing easements should be vacated along areas no longer serv ing as property lines. Since this application is not a plaU no new drainage/utility easements arc proposed nor requested; except that where such easements do exist along lot lines being moved, they should be rcdedicated along the new lot lines. Issues llie vacant west parcel is a buildable lot of record, assuming it meets the 200’ width standard. Width is measured at the front 50’ setback line. But where is the front lot line? The private cur\ ed drive surrounds the west lot on the north, south and west. The front, rear and side yards need to be established in order for setbacks to be applied to the lot, and to confirm where the lot width should be measumd. The slope of the w est lot defies strict interpretation of w hat is front/side/rear based on the zoning code definition. From a practical standpoint, the east parcel and middle parcel residences have both been dcvcIop<Ki with the residence oriented towards the lake. For these two properties the lake side is considered the front yard and to the north is the rear property line. To be consistent with the yards of the other two properties, the yards for the vacant west parcel could be defined as follows: • Front - lake side along driveway, beginning at the southern point of the reconfigured west parcel and extending northward along the curve tothe point where the driveway straightens out. • Rear- north as shown by surveyor. ^ Side yard- west side along driveway and along east property line adjacent to the middle parcel. It is questionable whether the west side lot line adjacent to the driveway should be treated as a **side street." Staff'recommends that it be simply a side lot line. If these setbacks arc occeptabic, the city accepts the yard setback demarcation os shown by ;Sc surveyor on the survey. Only the east parcel will have lake access. Staff Recommendation SiafTis recommending approval of the lot line rearrangement as proposed on the survey, completed by Gronberg & Associates. Inc. May 23,2001 based on the following conditions: I. City accepts yard setback demarcation as shown by surveyor on survey and neither lot width nor setback variances will be needed to build on the west lot. 2. The applicant shall grant drainage and utility easements, to replace any such existing easements which will no longer follow lot lines. t^0h2688K Woodhoust 1780 Shoreline Dr he Lot Line Rearrangement ^NOl Pages
