Conformity to Zoning and Comprehensive Plan 1 he LR-IC zoning district has a 0.5 acre minimum lot size. All proposed lots would exceed the minimum lot size for properties in the district. Lot requirements in the LR-IC district are as follows (Section 10.25, Subdivision 6 (B): Address Lot Area Lot Width Street Yard Side Yard Lakeshore .5 acre 100'30*10 ’75 ’ or ALS* 1315 .67 acre nr 127 ’15’250’ 1335 .81 acre 140 ’Undeveloped 1355 .89 152’Undeveloped * Average Lakeshore Setback - No principal or accessory structure shall be located closer to the lakeshore than the average distance from the shoreline of existing residence buildings on adjacent lots, except that this does not apply to stairways, lifts, landings, and lockboxes. Further, the average lakeshore setback shall apply only to classified lakes, and shall not apply to tributaries. The average lakeshore setback line shall be a straight line connecting the most lake ward protrusions of the residence buildings on the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots. Surrounding Properties The lots are located on the south shore of Lake Minnetonka's North Arm Bay. The lots to the south of the subdivision are zoned LR-IC and developed as lakeshore lots with access to Crystal Bay. Maxwell Bay boat landing is east of Tonkawa Road and is zoned B-2 for marina use. Lot Layout and Lot Standards As demonstrated in the table on page 2, each lot would meet minimum requirements for nev% lots in the LR-IC zoning district. The district requires a minimum lot size of .5 acre and demonstration of a suitable building envelope. Outlot A would serve as access to the property. Lot 1 would include an existing lot located at 3430 North Shore Drive and the west half of Lot 1, Tonkawa Shores Addition. A demolition permit was issued for the house on the 3430 North Shore Drive lot in 1994. The property gained access via a shared driveway across the property to the south. Lot 2 would include most of existing Lot 2 and the east half of existing Lot 1. The property is undeveloped and does demonstrate a suitable building site based on the prior subdivision approvals last year. Lot 3 is currently being developed with a single family home. The property will slightly increase in size. The lot has an existing drainage easement for stormwater treatment. The easement is in favor of Lots 1, 2 and 3, Tonkawa Shores but would not include the 3430 North Shore Drive property.
