The proposed plat consists of three residential lots each meeting the minimum requirement of two acres of dry buildable area. Lots 1 and 2 meet the required lot width of 200' at the rear of the 50' front/street setback line. Per Zoning Code Section 10.28 Subd. SB, Lot 3 requires a variance of 20' or 10% because it is only 180' in width at the rear of the 50' front/street setback line. Lot 3 contains an existing residence. 4. Lot 1 is by definition a 'back lot' and meets 150% of the lot area requirement of the RR-1B Zoning District. By definition the east line of Lot 1 is the front lot line, which for a back lot normally requires 150% of the 50' RR-1B front setback for the principal residence, or 75' per Subdivision Code Section 11.31 Subd. 5. At its September 15, 1997 meeting the Planning Commission recommended approval of a front setback variance for Lot 1, finding that due to the orientation of Lots 1 and 2, there will be no impact on Lot 2 by constructing a residence on Lot 1 only � 50' from its front lot line rather than the required 75', and this relaxed setback requirement will allow construction of a residence on Lot 1 to minimize impacts to the steep slope to the west of the proposed house site. The south line of Lot 1 is its side lot line, and the subdividers have agreed to a minimum 50' setback for construction along that line where a 45' setback would normally be required for this back lot, as additional buffer to the adjacent property. 5. All three lots have been found to have adequate and suitable soils for on-site sewage treatment systems. The On-Site Systems Manager has approved a variance for setback to the wetland on Lot 2 for three of the six identified drainfield sites. 6. Lot 3 will continue to be served by the existing easement driveway access to the private segment of Lyman Avenue. Lots 1 and 2 will access the public portion of ° , Lyman Avenue via Outlot B, a shared private driveway corridor. This requires a variance to Subdivision Regulations Section 11.33, Subd. 4 which would require a 3-lot subdivision to be served by a 24'-28' paved road system. The public portion of existing Lyman Avenue is paved at a 12-15' width currently serving 8 homes with a potential of 3-4 additional homes. The private portion of Lyman Avenue, which will continue to be used by Lot 3, is a 12' gravel driveway serving 5 homes with a potential for 1 or 2 additional homes. Planning Commission at their September 15, 1997 meeting concluded that the two new building sites can � Page 2 of 9
