Zoning File #1248 March 10, 1988 Page 2 of 3 It a future developer plans to construct an accessory structure on Lot 1, Block 4, the owner would have to execute a special lot combination to allow for the credit of the principal structure on Lots 1 and 2. Exhibit J designates the various lakeshore setback zones and the allov.ed hardcover amounts within each one of those zor.es. Development of this lot would appear quite consistent with adjacent property at 4125 Oak Street, variance review approved by the City 4/11/83. Alsc review Exhibit H, the proposal appears consistent with recently approved building sites in the immediate Summit Park neighborhood. Access to the Property is via the umimproved platted section of right- of-way of Oak Street. Three existing residences are served by the roadway now maintained by residents (review Exhibit I). The current application would now add an additional unit for a total of four. In a recent review, Planning Commission members stated that they could not continue on with this review until the final improvement of Oak Street was resolved. It is the City's position that there will be no improvement or upgrading of Oak Street until the City receives a petition from all four property owners asking for that upgrading. The City will not initiate a public improvement project unless all involved property owners also seek the improvement. I have been contacted by at least two of those property owners who conten3 that they do not want anything changed within the area. For the official record, the applicant does not own the property to the north. The property to the north remains in the ownership of the: former Mrs. Williams. Applicant has no control over the parcel to thf! north. Staff Recommendation - To approve the lot area and lot width variances renewal application for Thomas R. Williams based on the following findings: 1. The property received approval by the City in 1969 and 1979 for the same variances. There have been no addition or amendments of the Zoning Code that would alter the findings of the 1979 review. 2. The property has been assessed one sewer unit and a sewer stub has been provided for the property. 3. The development of this site is consistent with recent lot area and lot width variances granted to lots within the immediate surrounding neighborhood. 4. 6,100 s.f. of additional ar-a is provided in Lot 1, Plock 4, Minnetonka Summit Park, although cannot be credited because it is divided by the umimproved right-of-way.
