10-3438 5 January 2010 Page 2 of 3 Conformity with Zoning District Lot Requirements The property is in the LR -1 B, One Family Lakeshore Residential District, which allows for single family residential uses with a minimum lot size of one dry buildable acre. Under a standard subdivision process, each proposed lot would have to contain the minimum of 1.0 acres of dry buildable land. The current survey depicts three lots with a conforming density of at least 1 dry acre per lot; each of the proposed lots meets the 1.0 acre requirement. General Site Characteristics The property is relatively open and gently slopes from the road to the lake. There is a man- made lagoon on the southern portion of the lot which is proposed to be shared by Lot 2 and Lot 3. Lot Layout and Lot Standards The subject property is one 4.89-acre lot with a single family home which was recently removed. The proposed lots shown on the survey are somewhat regularly shaped. According to the LR- 1 B Zoning District standards all of the lots must contain 1.0 dry acre and meet a 140' width requirement at the ordinary high water level as well as at the 75' lake setback. The 75' setback from the lagoon has been used for hardcover purposes as well as setback measurement. The minimum lot width however was calculated at the 75' setback from the OHWL of the lake (not considering the lagoon) as the lots are uniform in shape. The individual lots lay out as follows: Lot Layout Lot 1: Lot 2: Lot 3: This lot is shown as having 1. 79 dry buildable acres and 141 feet of width measured at the 75' lake setback. Proposed Lot 2 contains 1.63 dry acres and is shown with 151 feet in width when measured in a straight line at the 75' lake setback; excluding the lagoon. This lot is shown as having 1.47 dry acres and 150 feet in width when measured in a straight line at the 75' lake setback; excluding the lagoon. The proposed plat shows that Lot 3 includes a small nub of land on the northern entrance to the lagoon. In general, it appears that the lots are acceptable with building sites meeting City standards. The developer has shown potential home locations, graded building pads for walk-out homes and swales down the common lot lines within the drainage and utility easements. The purpose for proposing the building pad locations is two-fold; to establish a new existing grade for height measurement purposes and to eliminate a potential problem with average lakeshore setbacks should the properties not be developed simultaneously. One home location could create unforeseen impacts to the average lakeshore setback line for the two other lots if developed separately. Park/Trail Easement/Fees or Dedication Needed The CMP indicates that no future trails are proposed along Sohns Point Road. Staff will recommend that the new lots be subject to the standard 8% Park Dedication Fee. Based on the 2010 land value the fee would be $367,840; however, the park dedication ordinance caps the actual fee at $5,550 per dwelling unit, so the two additional units result in a park fee of $11,100. Easements Needed The City requires standard perimeter and drainage easements around all property boundaries in the plat.
