Mabusih <br />Title Building & Zoning Administrator <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: /1^1903 Ernest Lemmerman, 1297 Wildhurst Trail/4620 Tonkaview Lane <br />Subdivision of a Lot Line Rearrangement - Request for Conceptual Review by Council <br />Brief Review of Application <br />Applicant completed a sketch plan review in August of 1993 and received conceptual approvals <br />from the Planning Commission. Applicant was encouraged to file a formal suMivision <br />application to complete the lot line rearrangement. Since filing the formal application, Mr. <br />Lemmerman has been advised by his surveyor that since the property consists of both torrens <br />and abstract properties that the subdivision must be completed as a formal plat rather than the <br />customary metes and bounds subdivision. The undeveloped lot purchased by Mr. Lemmerman <br />in May of 1982 from the State of Minnesota as forfeited land has been shown on the current <br />survey as having vague boundaries along Wildhurst Trail and Tonkaview Lane. In order to <br />allow the finalization of a formal plat at the Torrens Office, ar icant must now file for <br />registration of the abstract property. Prior to applicant expenc' g any further monies on <br />platting, registration of land or filing of a lot area variance, applicaut seeks conceptual direction <br />from Council. <br />The lot line rearrangement involves Mr. Lemmerman’s homestead parcel and the undeveloped <br />parcel, review Exhibit H. The undeveloped parcel consists of 33,975 s.f. or .78 acres and has <br />been assessed for sewer. If the property met 80% of the required lot area of 1 acre, the <br />property could be developed without variance approval. <br />The steep topographies of the properties define the natural boundaries. The division will bring <br />Lemmerman’s homestead lot from 12,750 s.f. to 24,600 s.f. The undeveloped lot at 33,975 s.f. <br />is proposed at 20,900 s.f. The side lot line adjacent to the attached garage shall be adjusted so <br />that a 10’ setback is maintained from the accessory structure. <br />Please review the enclosed staff memo of February 17, 1994 for more detail on this review.
