Dale <br />Beckman of BRW at the request of the applicants evaluated the fire protection aspects of the <br />proposed conversion from a public street to a shared driveway and a single driveway. He <br />concludes that the fire protection situation will be improved. Applicants ’ engineer has designed <br />the proposed driveways to incorporate additional width and weight handling capacity to allow <br />for adequate fire fighting access. The Long Lake Fire Department in their letter of October <br />13 indicates the proposal is acceptable to them. <br />T ot Standards <br />Because the proposal includes a replat, the performance standards of the LR-IA district must <br />be taken into consideration. At an average of one acre each, none of the existing lots meet <br />the minimum lot width or area standards for the two acre zone. The replat results in slightly <br />laruer lot areas but creates additional non-conformities. The Marfield lot becomes a "back lot" <br />in the replat, requiring 150% of the two acre requirement (three acres), yet it will remain at <br />just over one acre. Further, the Marfield lot loses its frontage on a public road in favor of <br />abuttinu only a shared driveway outlol. And. the 150% standard for side setback on a back <br />lot leaves more of Marfields existing home encroaching into the required side yard. (See <br />Exhibit E).
