The City of Wayzata is requesting flexibility from the shoreland standards in the following areas; 1. 2. 3. 4. Lot Width Residential Density Impervious Surface Coverage Building Height An analysis of each flexibility request is as follows; 1. LOT WIDTH Due to the historical development of certain areas of Wayzata, residential properties with duplex, triplex, or quad in primarily the R-3, R-4A, R-4, and R-5 Districts nave developed with lot widths that are substantially * than allowed by DNR shoreland standards. So as not to create ..cixuerous non-conformities, the City has proposed lot widths wider than what is allowed in the base zoning district requirements of the City but less than the DNR shoreland standards. The lot sizes proposed in the Ordinance are consistent with the DNR standards in that the City and DNR standards are not substantially different. A comparison of the existing City base zoning district, the proposed, and the DNR standards for lot width in the R-4 District is as follows; TABLE 1 LOT WIDTH STANDARDS Riparian (R-4 District) City Base Zoning District City Proposed Shoreland DNR Single Duplex Triplex Quad 60 100 iOO 100 75 100 125 150 75 135 195 255 Non- Riparian (R-4 District) City Base Zoning District City Proposed Shoreland DNR single Duplex Triplex Quad 60 100 100 100 75 100 125 150 75 135 190 245 In that all lots within the Shoreland District are served by municipal sewer, the residential density for the City is substantially less than what would be allowed under the DNR 1 I I n> II ■'!
