File #2341 February 12, 1998 Page 2 Relationship to Surrounding Development Noerenberg Park abuts this property on the southeast. To the west, north, and cast of the site exist similar low density residential developments. The proposed subdivision is in keeping with the general character of its surrounding neighborhood. Lot Layout and Lot Standards Each lot meets or exceeds the 2.0 acre minimum lot standard for the LR-1A district. Lots 2 and 3 are cul-de-sac lots, being approximately 110' and 170’ in defined width respectively. However, each of these two lots exceeds 200' in functional w idth and the City has commonly granted lot w idth for cul-de-sac lots. Due to the unusual shape of the site, the topography, and the location of septic sites, the lots in this subdivision are uniquely shaped. However, each lot appears to accommodate a suitable house location that is somewhat flexible with out encroaching into septic drainfield sites which must be preserved. Applicant's surveyor has depicted the required setbacks on the preliminary plat drawing. The setbacks shown by dashed lines appear to be correctly depicted. Lot 1 is techriically a 'through' lot having roads on three sides, surrounding the existing house which will remain. Lot 1 will accommodate thj^existing house w ithout the need for any setback variances. All other buildings on the property are intended to be removed, so that Lots 2 through 7 will become new building sites. Lots 4, 5, and 6 are lakeshore lots, and each meet the 200' minimum width requirement as measured at the shoreline and at the 75’ setback line. Note that Lot 6 has an hourglass shape that leaves a functional width of 165' at the proposed building site, , jThe road outlot, Outlot A, has been extended to the southeast to provide a driveway corridor for Lot without requiring direct access to Old Crystal Bay Road. Staff sees this as a positive improvement, \/ and recommends that this layout be accepted as providing suitable access to Lot 7. Note that while Lot 7 has 600' of frontage on Old Cry stal Bay Road, the Citv’ will require that all existing direct road accesses to Old Crystal Bay Road be eliminated. This likely will also be required by the County. Because of the 50' proposed width of the access for Lot 7, staff does not consider Lot 7 as being a back lot, and it therefore does not have to meet the higher standards associated with back lots. In general the proposed lot layout appears to provide for sufficient building envelopes for each lot, and the only variances apparent would be for the width of the two cul-de-sac lots.
