r File #2341 February 12. 1998 Page 2 Relationship to Surrounding Development Noerenberg Park abuts this property on the southeast. To the west, north, and east of the site exist similar low density residential developments. The proposed subdivision is in keeping with the general character of its surrounding neighborhood. Lot Layout and Lot Standards Each lot meets or exceeds the 2.0 acre minimum lot standard for the LR-1A district. Lots 2 and 3 are cul-de-sac lots, being approximately 110 ’ and 170 ’ in defined width respectively. However, each of these two lots exceeds 200 ’ in functional width and the City has commonly granted lot width for cul-de-sac lots. Due to the unusual shape of i e site, the topography, and the location of septic sites, the lots in this subdivision are uniquely shaped. However, each lot appears to accommodate a suitable house location that is somewhat flexible with out encroaching into septic drainfield sites which must be preserved. Applicant’s surveyor has depicted the required setbacks on the preliminary plat drawing. The setbacks shown by dashed lines appear to be correctly depicted. Lot 1 is technically a ’through’ lot having roads on three sides, surrounding the existing house which will remain. Lot 1 will accommodate the existing house without the need for any setback variances. All other buildings on the property are intended to be removed, so that Lots 2 through 7 will become new building sites. Lots 4, 5, and 6 are lakeshore lots, and each meet the 200' minimum width requirement as measured at the shoreline and at the 75' setbar*^ line. Jote that Lot 6 has an hourglass shape that leaves a functional width of 165' at the pro 'ilding site. The road outlot, Outlot A, has been c.\ the southeast to provide a driveway corridor for Lot 7 without requiring direct access to Old 3u> Road. Staff sees this as a positive improvement, and recommends that this layout be providing suitable access to Lot 7. Note that while Lot 7 has 600' of frontage on Old Cr>'stal b ^ Road, the City will require that all existing direct road accesses to Old Cry stal Bay Road be eliminated. This likely will aiso be required by the County. Because of the 50' proposed width of the access for Lot 7, staff does not consider Lot 7 as being a back lot, and it therefore does not have to meet the higher standards associated with back lots. In general the proposed lot layout appears to provide for sufficient building envelopes for each lot, and the only variances apparent would be for the width of the two cul-de-sac lots.
