#OS-3112 June 20,2005 . Page 3 of 3 variances would be requested. Given all the restrictions, the buildable area amo�uits to approximately 2,100 s.f., however based on the odd shape approximately 1/3 of it wouldn't be buildable due where it narrows to 1 point. The logical next step would be granting a re�r/street y�rcl setback varianee allowing for more builclable ac•ea. Should that rear/street yard setb�ck variance be 20', 10', or something in-between? If the Pl�nning Commission wants to make a seconda►•y recommendation based on an unfavorable engineering report, a C�lSCL1SS1011 of how 111UCI1 buildable arel is reasonable and what level of rear/stceet yard setback variance is appropriate would need to t�ke place. The Planning Commission woulci have to be comfortab(e coming to a conc(usion on the level of rear/sti•eet yard setback va�'11I1C0 WItIlOUt ICIlOWI(lg tlle footprint or type of home proposed under a rebuild application. � Dedication of the sewer e�sement by both involved property owners and finalization of that language. • The City Engineer is his letter dated 5-26-05, asked for dedication of drainage and utility easements 10' along the periphery lot lines at�d 5' along the interior lot lines. Staff finds that is it relsonable to request dedication of a 5' drainage and utility easement on both sides of the lot line being cevised by the lot line rearrangement request only. This is standard as part of the subdivision approval. The applicants should indicate whether they are willing to dedicate these easements. � Lastly, in an effort to meet the 15% structural coverage requirement the applicant omitted the lake side deck off the main level of the home from the proposaL Staff is concerned about a lake shore property not having a lake side deck and the potential for request of a future variance to obtain one. The Planning Commission should discuss whether the applicant should be required to include a lake yard deck and meet the structural coverage requirement. It should be noted that it appears that a patio off the walk out level of the home would exist either way, Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the revised application pending the following: l. Submittal of a favorable engitieering report regarding the existing foundation and its ability to withstand the proposed improvements. 2. Dedication of a 20' sewer easement centered over tlle existing sewer lines. This easement should be dedicated by botli owners (1090 Wildh�n•st Trail and 4480 Forest Lake Landing). Staff is willing to negotiate the language of the e�sement to protect existing encroachments and other potential interests. 3. Dedication of a 5' dcainage and utility easeinent, by both property owners, to exist on each side of the revised common lot line. The Platming Commission may want to consider whether a lake y�rd deck off the main level of the home should be included, and also whether 1 secondary recommendation could be made should the engineering report on the existing foundation be unfavorable.
