#2340 - Robert & Iris Waade May 15,1998 Page 4 Lot 2 meets the 135' minimum width for a duplex (shoreland ordinance requirements) if measured along the east frontage of Lot 2 abutting Outlot A. {The Zoning Code identifies the shortest side of a corner lot such as this, as the 'front'. However, in this case the side abutting Outlot A will function as the front lot line and if the line abutting Outlot A is formally defined as the front lot line by City action, the lot could be considered as conforming in width for a duplex lot. The intrusion of the MiVCC lift station into the site suggests that this would be an appropriate conclusion, given the impacts that intrusion has on the building envelope for this site). The duplex proposed for Lot 2 meets the 15' required depth of the side yard adjacent to the back lot access outlot (Outlot B). The 10' side and 30' rear yards are correctly shown on the drawings assuming the east lot line is defined as front. Section 10.03, Subd. 27 (C) (4) states that no more than two residences may be ser\’ed via an access outlot (Outlot B) but applicant's plan has three units being served by Outlot B. The solution is to design a duplex with a separate access driveway coming off the road outlot, Outlot A. As dra\\m, this requires a variance. Hardcover for Lot 2 is now shown as 8% in the 75-250' zone where 25% would be allow'ed, and 36% in the 250-500' zone where 30% would be allowed. However, the 250-500' zone should be credited with unused hardcover allowance from the 75-250' zone, because an unused hardcover allowance can be transferred to a zone further from the lake while still meeting the intent of the code. This is demonstrated below: Area of 75-250' zone in Lot 2 = 12,915 sf 25%=3,229 sf Proposed hardcover in 75-250' zones = 1,030 sf Excess available allowance = 3,229 sf - 1,030 sf = 2,149 sf (Credit to 250-500^zone) Total area of 250-500' zone in Lot 2 = 8,865 sf 30% = 2,660 sf Add credit from 75-250’ zone: 2,660 sf + 2,149 sf = 4,809 sf Proposed 250-500' hardcover = 3,170 sf, which is less than 4,809 sf, hence the proposal should be considered as meeting the intent of the hardcover ordinance. Lot coverage bv structures was noted to be excessive (22%) during the March 16 review. Applicant has reduced this to 3200 721,780= 14.7%, meeting the 15% limit.
