4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />Residential Zoning District. Lot 1 is by definition a 'back lot’ and meets the <br />required 150% (0.75 acre) lot area requirement of Section 11.31 Subd. 5C. The <br />'extra 50% area' requirement of said Subd. 5C is partially met by crediting the <br />area of the proposed stormwater pond in Lot 1. Lot 1 also meets the required <br />100' LR-lC-1 minimum lot width standard as measured at the shoreline and at <br />the 75' lakeshore setback. Lot 2 is proposed for use as a duplex lot and meets <br />the minimum 0.50 acre lot area requirement and 135' defined width as measured <br />at the 30' front setback line. <br />Lot 2 is considered as a comer lot and the east lot line of lot 2 abutting Outlot <br />A shall be considered as its front lot line for zoning purposes. <br />Outlot A is a proposed private road corridor which will serve this proposed 3- <br />unit development and an additional 3-4 existing residential units to the east. <br />Outlot A requires a variance due to its 40' width where a 50' private road <br />corridor is normally required. The variance is justified by the limited lot area <br />available and the long, narrow configuration of the site coupled with the need <br />to provide access to a limited number of additional residences outside the <br />property. <br />Outlot B is a proposed access corridor to serv'e the back lot (Lot 1). Outlot B <br />requires the following variances; <br />a. Outlot width (30' required, 20' proposed) <br />b. Driveway setback to west lot line (O’ proposed, 10’ required) <br />c. Lack of extension to souith line of Lot 1, creating a 'flag lot' (flag <br />lots are not allowed) <br />d. Only 2 residences allowed to access from driveway outlot, 3 <br />proposed <br />The above variances are justified by the narrow width of the property, the limited <br />lot area, and the need to provide for minimum required area within each <br />building lot. The unique location and orientation of this site makes these <br />variances appropriate in this case where they likely would not be appropriate in <br />other cases. TTie variance to allow 3 dwelling units to be served from Outlot B <br />allows a shared driveway to serve both duplex units resulting in minimization <br />of hardcover. <br />Page 2 of 8
