Zoning File #1051 <br />July 17, 1986 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Cherry Place has been partially vacated and functions as a <br />private driveway serving the last 3 houses on the south end. The <br />vacant lot would logically access onto this private roadway, <br />although its legal access is to North Arm Drive. <br />Glesne's existing house at 1470 Cherry Place is on a lot of 0.68 <br />acres. Although no survey was submitted for that property, a <br />site inspection notes no apparent encroachments into the 0-75’ <br />lakeshore setback, and a 75-250' hardcover of about 13.6%. <br />Comparison of Nearby Lot Areas - <br />Twelve of fifteen existing developed lots on cherry Place are <br />0.60 acre or smaller. From the 1984 Common Ownership study: <br />-43% of lots in LR-lB district exceed 0.80 acre <br />-56% of lots in LR-IB district exceed 0.60 acre <br />-79% of lots in LR-IB district exceed 0.40 acre <br />Staff Recommendation - <br />Staff would recommend approval of the lot area/lot width <br />variances based on the following findings: <br />1. This lot was created and approved as a buildable lot by <br />the City Council in 1971, in effect granting a variance to <br />the 1 acre zoning code in effect at that time. That variance <br />is deemed to have expired as of the Janurary 1, 1975 zoning <br />code, necessitating granting of a renewal variance at the <br />present. <br />2. The lot area and width is consistent with existing <br />developed lots in the immediate neighborhood, and is not <br />inconsistent with other lots currently developed within the <br />LR-IB zoning district. <br />3. The lot has remained as a separate tax parcel since it <br />was created. <br />4. Sewer is available to the property. <br />5. The property has legal access to County Rd. 151 (north <br />Arm Drive) and potential secondary access over vacated and <br />unvacated portions of Cherry Place. <br />Staff would suggest the following conditions of approval: <br />1. $1270 sewer unit assessment and standard $225 sewer <br />connection charge and $390 Park fee to be collected with <br />building permit. <br />2. Total hardcover on property not to exceed 30% or <br />approximately 8350 s.f. <br />3. Access to property shall be via Cherry Place presuming <br />that the abutting owners of the vacated portion of Cherry <br />Place will grant an access easement. <br />■t <br />1 <br />J
