■fl■A <S up.. >The City's current base minimum lot size is 10,000 square feet The current Zoning Ordinance limits development on substandard lots to single family only provided that:1. The lot has been assessed for sewer and water.2. Setback and yard requirements shall be in compliance.Spring Park believes reliance on setbacks and impervious surface limits control the environmental factors of development on small lots, while protecting the development rights of the prooertv owners. e- tr j Spring Park also currently has policies, which will be part of the shoreland regulations, which requires consolidation of substandard lots when reconstruction is proposed. Through this policy of lot consolidation, single family density will actually decrease over time. Spring Park hopes to continue this means of implementation to promote private redevelopment of the substandard lots. - - - - - - - - -- Spring Park's implementation will consist of retaining the existing minimum lot sizes of 10,000 square feet which currently conform to the DNR model standards for non-riparian lots and require that where applicable, substandard lots be required to be consolidated when redevelopment is proposed. Any development on substandard lots will be required to comply will all setback amd inpeivious surface stamdards. ''^4 I#Si m. i|-^ RESIDBMTIAL DENSITY _ _ _ _ Id order to determine overall compliance with the DNR density stamdards, a density calculati. .i was performed. The purpose of the residential development denti / calculation is to determine the maximum allowed by the DNR model and compare this to the existing development conditions in Spring Park. To determine the level of density increase that may be allowed, a theoretical maucimum development scenario was calculated based upon the residential density stamdards of the DNR. This exercise was recommended by the DNR in other studies as a method to con^are the City's existing shoreland development with what could be considered to be a maximum "development cap". The exercise included calculation of the gross residential zoning district acreage within Tier I and Tier Il-V properties of the Shorelamd District. Tier I properties are those which are riparian to the laUce to a depth of 200 feet from the ordinary high water level (OHWL). Tier II-V properties include the non-riparian properties 200-1,000 feet from the OHWL. m ■SA MM
