Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator May 11. 1993 #1825 Thomas L. McCarthy, 2490 Old Beach Road - Preliminary Subdivision, Class in - Conditional Use * Public Hearing The applicant proposes a two-lot division of the 2 + acre parcel. Mr. McCarthy provides two alternative plans for development. Alternates A and B. Applicant’s preference is Alternate A. The following ordinances are pertinent for this review; 2. 3. Section 11.03, Definition 66. Class DI Subdivision. Section 11.03, Defmition 24. Lot Area Minimum. In urban areas served by sanitary sewer, each lot must comain contiguous dry buildable land equal to the minimum areas as prescribed in the Zoning Chap^ of the City Code or half- acre. whichever is less, (exclusive of public and private rights-of-way. vehicular or pedestrian easements, surface areas below the ordinary high water mark of any wetland or lake) and have legal access to the building site without encroachmem of a wetland or flood plain area. Alternate A. preferred by applicant, requires access easements through Lot 2 in favor of Lot 1. Area of access easement would have to be excluded from dry buildable area of Lot 2. There b clearly not enough area within Lot 2 to provide an easement without also having the City approve area variances. The City does not grant area variances with the creation of new lots. Section 10.02, Defmition 43 (B). Lot Width. For lots which abut a lake or tributary at the shoreline measured in a straight line between the points at which the side lot lines intersect the ordinary high water level (9W.4) and at the required structure setback from the OHWL measured in a straight line between the points of intersection of the side lot lines with the structural setback Ime. For Lake Mitmetonka, a General Development Lake, the setback b 75 . Alternatives A and B show Lot 1 as meetmg the requued lot width standards. Note there is only one lakeshore lot proposed with the two-lot subdivbkm. Lot 2 will be non-riparian to Lake Minnetonka. As lot width b measured at the lakeshore and at the 75 ’ setback line. Lot 1 may be planed as a fUg lot with a 20’ wide corridor without requiring a lot width variance. (Lot width b measured at the 35' street setback for the non-lakeshore lot.)
