REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 3/9/94 ITEM NO.: ^ A Department Approval: Name Jeanne A. Mabusth Title Building & Zoning Administrator Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: Zoning Item Description: #1905 Ken Hopkins/John Powers. 75/85 Femdale Green - Subdivision of a Lot Line Rearrangement (Class I) - Resolution Brief Review of Application The applicants propose a lot line rearrangement involving the nonhem triangular portion of Lot 2, Fairway Hills. This portion of Lot 2, Fairway Hills equals 1.1 acre in area and will be divided into three parcels for future combination with adjacent properties in the Allo-Rae Terrace subdivision. Lots 5, 6 and 7 are substandard in area. The acquisition of additional area will bring lots closer to conformance. Property was approved for sewer and water arxl it has now been officially relocated with n the MUSA. Applicants now seek approval under Section 10.55, Subd. 15(A-3) of credit for v tland area and still meet area requirements of the RR-IB Zoning District. Lot 2 after the subdivision will consist of 2.02 acres (.7 acres wet and 1.29 acres of dry). Because of the lots’ odd shape, the northern boundaries to be divided off Lot 2 would never function as useable yard area although connected by narrow land corridor along the west side of the wetland. The Planning Commission was asked to review the preliminary and final subdivision resolutions and the Council minutes of the 1990 subdivision review (Exhibits G, H and I). Planning Commission was asked to review the intent of the original subdivision review as it related to the requirement that Lot 2 maintain rural standards regardless of sewer. Please review the applicants ’ addendum. Exhibit B. After the Wayzata Country Club offered the property for subdivision, the three property owners of Lots 5, 6 and 7 lost their legal access to the greens area of the golf course. Based on the configuration of land, applicants are concerned that the future owner of Lot 2 would not maintain this area of the yard. The Planning Commission found the request to be reasonable after considering the current proposal. The Planning Commission had no problem with the subdivision as proposed that included the three parcels for future combinations. Mr. Powers would be required to have all three substandard parcels legally combined with his property. Current owners of Lots 5 and 6 have yet to affirm their interest in acquiring Parcels B and C. The Planning Commission advised the applicants that they would have no problem with the parcels being legally combined
