2. A lot area variance has been granted to the 5.0 acre standard via Resolution <br /> #1548. � <br /> 3. The property owner would generally have the right to construct a new seasonal <br /> dwelling on this vacant parcel subject to compliance with building permit, <br /> setback, hardcover, on-site sewage treatment, shoreland, and other performance <br /> standards. For instance, required setback from the lake would be a minunum of <br /> 75', however, you would also have to meet the 30' setback from the "top of <br /> bluff", since City topographic maps indicate this lot likely contains a significant <br /> bluff. Since the lot is 100-200' in width, the side setback requirement is 30'. <br /> Setback from the street right-of-way is 30'. <br /> 4. Building construction standards are generally listed in Subd. 11 on pages 323 <br /> through 325 of the RS District Code, and septic requirements are in Subd. 12. <br /> You can construct a rather small seasonal dwelling without septic and well but <br /> plumbing is definitely required for all seasonal dwellings over 800 s.f. in floor <br /> area. <br /> 5. Access to this property is going to be a major hurdle. The Shoreland Ordinance <br /> will allow you to construct a 4' wide stairway within the 0-75' setback from the <br /> lake, but generally will not allow live tree cutting or extensive vegetation clearing <br /> within 75' of the lake nor within the bluff area. Further, you would not be <br /> allowed to do any grading in that area, so your access to the site for building <br /> materials would have to be via the unimproved roadways or by permission of <br /> neighboring property owners. <br /> 6. The property owner to the north has requested he be consulted in site planning <br /> for this property since its well and septic location will impact his potential septic <br /> and well locations. <br /> I encourage you to carefully read Code Section 10.31 as well as the Shoreland Management <br /> Standards of Section 10.56. Any building permit applications submitted to the City will <br /> necessarily need to have detailed topographic survey work included, because we are dealing with <br /> a bluff situation. I would venture a guess that one or more variances will be needed in order <br /> to construct a seasonal dwelling on this property, and that meeting septic system requirements <br /> could be quite difficult. • <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 473-7357 if I can be of further assistance. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ��' _ `, � <br /> Michael P.
