•f <br />Pertinent Facts: <br />1.500, 540 and 550 Orono Orchard Road all have legal access and rights to the alley. The <br />portion of the alley South of the Larson property is not developed. The amount of traffic <br />using the alley is limited to only the Larson's. Variance approvals to allow residential <br />additions would move the access to the Webster's property onto the alley rather than <br />Dickenson Street. <br />2. <br />3. <br />The majority of property owners in the locality support vacating the alley. <br />Before variances for the garage and additional living space can be considered the issue of <br />access to the subject properties should be resolved. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />The alley is maintained and plowed by the City. <br />The Minnetonka Bluffs subdivision was platted in 1887. <br />The Larson's must be a willing applicant as the City cannot force a lot line <br />rearrangement or a change in access to the 540 property. <br />7.The enclosed survey, completed by Coffin & Gronberg has provided evidence that the <br />'paved' alley is not entirely within die 'platted* alley. The Webster’s could back out of the <br />proposed garage without entering directly to the alley. It is important to note that the <br />Larson's are the only other user of the alley. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Lot Area and Yards <br />RR-IB <br />(2 acre) <br />Lot Area Lot Width Rear Yard Side Yard Street Yard <br />Required 87,120 s.f.200’50'30’50 ’ <br />500 38,346 s.f.150 ’50'30’50 ’ <br />540 25,400 s.f. 100 ’50'30’50* <br />Sewer Units <br />Both properties have been assessed and provided with sewer units. <br />•2469/J470 <br />500/540 Orono Orchard Road <br />Loi Line Rearrangemeni/Vacaiion/l^arlances <br />4/19/99 <br />Rage!
