r 5. f I Zoning File ii^l980 November 16, 1994 Page 2 Park neighborhood. In fact propenies to the immediate south and immediate west are all at 25.000 s.f. Review Exhibit H. sewer is available at both the east and west sides of property. A sewer connection can be made at either of the stubs. A sewer unit has already been paid for the property. Each of the separate four lots was charged a quarter unit. 1 view Exhibits E and G. Gustafson reaffirms that drainage flows predominately to the east. He perceives no impact on adjacem residence. The property is bounded by Tonkawa Road on the east side arxl Park Avenue on the west and is defined as a through lot. Applicant and funire owner should be advised that the code will require a conditional use for construction of accessory structures. Gustafson’s report. Exhibit G. advises that the approval of this site for development will result in three residential units being served by the unimproved public right-of-way. He calls for the development of a public road at a 24’ width with a mm around at the north end. This will be a difficult feat since the City only has a 30’ right-of-way for Park Avenue. Staff would recommend that applicant be responsible for continuing the paved road at the presem '% uiiii and providing a mm around or loop driveway using portions of the 30’ puDiic right-of-way. Applicant shall include the mm around with the final plan for development of the site for review by the City Engineer. Applicant has discussed the potential of achieving access off Tonkawa based on the final location of the house on the site. It is doubtful whether the County will allow a new curb cut at the County road when other access is available. The engineer has also asked for the granting of drainage and utility easements along the boundaries of the property and additional right-of-way for the County road. The City does not request drainage and utility easements or require the granting of right-of-way wnen reviewing variances. Such requests are valid during subdivision reviews. As applicant has presented this application without a final development plan, approval of the variances must be based on fumre development meeting required setbacks of the LR-IB zoning district and for the through lot as follows: 55’ setback for Park Avenue 35' setback from Tonkawa (County Road 135) 10’ side. The propeny is located within 5(X)-1,000’ of lakeshore and is allowed 35% hardcover. Issues for Consideration Is the proposed building site consistent with the historic and current pattern of development of the Minnetonka Summit Park neighborhood?
