TO: FROM: DATE: Planning Commission and Council Jeanne A. Mabusth, Zoning Administrator February 27, 1980 #541 SUBJECT: #541 Ministers Life Development, 1484 Shoreline Drive SUBDIVISION SKETCH PLAN REVIEW Zoning District LR-lA Subdivision - 6 lot plat - total acreage 15.8 acres jjjg applicant proposes a subdivision of six lots for the Halpin property. In this plan, the developer has attempted to retain the same feeling and character of the old estate. The original plantings have been saved and tied into logical ovmership patterns. The developer proposes realigning the road from the intersection of County Road 15, retaining the same access location but this will not involve a change or loss in landscaping. Plat Review Access Road - the access on County Road 15 will remain but as noted above the plat road will be realigned. The plat road will be private and designated as a 50* wide outlot and a 100' width at the cul-de-sac. In keeping with the developer's plan to maintain the unique character of the property and the City's environmental concern, the road is to be paved and of a minimum width similar to the P. Gerald Mills platting to the south. The City engineer will review and determine a feasible and adequate width. The applicants have placed the cul-de-sac at the edge of Lot 2 and ask the Planning Commission to consider a private driveway easement through Lot 2 serving Lot 3. This will allow ^e use of an existing driveway serving the main house and the Wakefield house. The driveway is in excellent condition and surrounded by many plantings. A cul-de-sac located further west on the property would destroy many of those plantings. A road outlot through Lot 2 will create another riparian outlot. Riparian Rights - Three of the six lots have direct lakeshore access. The remaining lots are to have riparian rights through a designated outlot on Smiths Bay. In the Mills application. Council was specifically concerned that each outlot on Smiths Bay have the required 200' width along lakeshore. How does Planning Commission feel about the 90', 85' and 80' outlets? How many would you approve for this plat? Lot Requirements - It appears that all lots but Lot 2 will meet the required 200' of width along the front line of the house. Lot 2 is hindered by the attempt of the developer to keep the plantings (specifically a line of shrubs) within ownership of the estate lot. The existing structures meet all of the setbacks for the zoning district. The structure on Lot 2 will be removed when a main structure is built.
