Subject: /VI af1t-@ (l}/1 rJt/2!f 10-3438, DNA Properties LLC, 1535 Sohns Point Road, Subdivision -Preliminary Plat Public Hearing Application Summary: This is a preliminary plat application for a 4.89-acre parcel proposed to be divided into three single-family residential lots. All lots would be served by City sewer and private water supply wells. Relationship to Surrounding Development The proposed single-family development with 1-plus acre lot sizes is consistent with existing development in the surrounding neighborhood. Developed single family lots surround this site. The surrounding single family lots on the point vary primarily between 1.0 to 2-acres in area. There are several smaller lots ¾ acre in area on the point as well. 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. 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. 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 1.4 7 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. 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. Staff Recommendation The proposed plat appears to meet the City's ordinance standards for development in the LR- 1 B zone. Staff recommends approval of the plat with a revision in the lot line between Lots 2 and 3 to include the small piece of land north of the lagoon entrance with Lot 2 rather than Lot 3 as shown. If Planning Commission is satisfied with the proposal, it could be forwarded to Council for Preliminary Plat review.
