Zoning File #1248 <br />March 10, 1988 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />If a future developer plans to construct an accessory structure on Lot 1, <br />Block 4, the owner would have to execute a special lot combination to allow <br />for the credit of the principal structure on Lots 1 and 2. Exhibit J <br />designates the various lakeshore setback zones and the allowed hardcover <br />amounts within each one of those zones. Development of this lot would <br />appear quite consistent with adjacent property at 4125 Oak Street, variance <br />review approved by the City 4/11/83. Also review Exhibit H, the proposal <br />appears consistent with recently approved building sites in the immediate <br />Summit Park neighborhood. <br />Access to the property is via the umlmproved platted section of right- <br />of-way of Oak Street. Three existing residences are served by the roadway <br />now maintained by residents (review Exhibit I). The current application <br />would now add an additional unit for a total of four. In a recent review. <br />Planning Commission members stated that they could not continue on with <br />this review until the final improvement of Oak Street was resolved. It is <br />the City's position that there will be no improvement or upgrading of Oak <br />Street until the City receives a petition from all four property owners <br />asking for that upgrading. The City will not initiate a public improvement <br />project unless all involved property owners also seek the improvement. I <br />have been contacted by at least two of those property owners who contend <br />that they do not want anything changed within the area. <br />For the official record, the applicant does not own the property to <br />the north. The property to the north remains in the ownership of the <br />former Mrs. Williams. Applicamt has no control over the parcel to the <br />north. <br />Staff Recommendation - <br />To approve the lot area and lot width variances renewal <br />for Thomas R. Williams based on the following findings: <br />application <br />1. The property received approval by the City in 1969 and 1979 for <br />the same variances. There have been no addition or amendments of the <br />Zoning Code that would alter the findings of the 1979 review. <br />2. The property has been assessed on^ sewer unit and a sewer stub has <br />been provided for the property. <br />3. The development of this site is consistent with recent lot area <br />and lot width variances granted to lots within the immediate <br />surrounding neighborhood. <br />4. 6,500 s.f. of additional area is provided in Lot 1, Block 4, <br />Minnetonka Summit Park, although cannot be credited because it is <br />divided by the umimproved right-of-way..
