7. <br />8 <br />9. <br />As a result of the rcplat. the Marfield property (proposed Lot 1) becomes a back <br />lot with 45' required side setbacks rather than the 30' side setbacks normally <br />required in the LR-IA District, making more of Marfield's residence structure <br />non-conforming to the side setback requirements. Similarly, the Hill propert\' <br />(proposed Lot 2) becomes a front lot subject to a 50 side street setback along <br />Outlot A, and 30’ side setback along the common boundary line with proposed <br />Lot 1. The replat results in revised setback requirements impacting proposed <br />Lots 1, 2 and 3, which must be taken into account in future improvements to <br />those properties. <br />The Council finds that it is appropriate to grant variances for the "front lot" and <br />"back lot" non-conformities created by the replat. <br />Proposed Lots 1 and 2 will gain access to North Shore Drive via a shared <br />drivewav located within Outlot A, at the current location ot Scotch Pine Lane. <br />Proposed Lot 3 will no longer gain access from Scotch Pine Lane but vsill create <br />a new driveway access directly onto North Shore Drive approximately 200' east <br />of the e.xisting Scotch Pine Lane intersection. Hennepin County Department of <br />Public Works has given preliminary approval for this new driveway access. <br />The new shared driveway in Outlot A, the extension of the driveway to serve <br />the proposed Lot 1, and the new driveway to be created for proposed Lot 3 hav e <br />been designed to City of Orono residential street weight bearing capacity <br />standards to provide adequate access for fire lighting equipment. Further, the <br />Long Lake Fire Department has indicated the proposed driveway construction <br />and proposed widths are sufficient for the necessary- staging of fire fighting <br />equipment. <br />The concurrent vacation of Scotch Pine Lane and all of the utility easements <br />originally dedicated within the Dicon Addition, requires rededication of new <br />utihty easements for existing and future utility lines. The proposed rededication <br />includes a 30' municipal sewer ea.semcnt over the e.visting municipal sewer <br />laterals within Scotch Pine Lane. .Additional drainage and utility easements will <br />be granted to accommodate Northern States Power and Minnegasco facilities on <br />Paizc 3 of 9
