Zoning History, 1305 Elmwood <br /> June 24, 1992 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Ordinance No. 80, Second Series, which was adopted in February <br /> 1990, limited "lot coverage by structures" on properties less than 2 <br /> acres in total area. The total combined footprint areas of principal <br /> and accessory structures shall not exceed 15$ of the total lot area. <br /> Structures to be included in calculation of lot coverage include <br /> roofed structures which extend more than 6' above grade level, tennis <br /> courts, patios, decks, and all similar open structures when partially <br /> or fully enclosed by fences, railings or walls which extend more than <br /> 6' above grade level, pools, including pool basin and associated deck <br /> or patio areas. There was an exception to the lot coverage ordinance, <br /> namely that regardless of lot area, every developed lot shall be <br /> allowed at least 1500 s.f. of lot coverage by principal residence and <br /> garage structures. The intent of this exception was to allow <br /> reasonable use of an existing developed residential lot. However, <br /> this exception was not intended to override other code requirements <br /> such as setbacks and hardcover. <br /> Summary <br /> The table below summarizes zoning standards that have affected <br /> subject property through the years. <br /> Setbacks <br /> Side <br /> Time Period Zone Lot Area Lot Width Front Renr Side Street Other <br /> ----------- ---- --------- --------- ----- ---- ---- ------ ----- <br /> - 11J50 Forest Lake -- -- -- -- -- -- -- <br /> District " <br /> 11/50 - 9/55 Forest Lake 15,000 s.f.* 75'* -- -- -- -- -- <br /> District <br /> 9/55 - 2/58 Forest Lake 15,000 s.f. 100'/30'** -- -- -- -- -- <br /> District <br /> 2/58 - 10/59 Forest Lake 25,000 s.f. 120'** -- -- -- -- -- <br /> District <br /> 10/59 - 8/62 Forest Lake 1 acre 140' -- -- -- -- -- <br /> District <br /> 8/62 - 9/67 Forest Lake 1 acze 140' 30' 10' 10' 10' -- <br /> District <br /> 9/67 - 12/74 R-1C I acre 140' 35' 30' 10' 20' -- <br /> District <br /> 1/75 - Present LR-1B 1 acre 140' 35' 30' 10' 35' Hardcover <br /> Limits <br /> Zn Effect <br /> 1990 - Lot coverage Iimited to I5$ bp structures <br /> (1,500 s.f, allowed for develoned lots) <br /> * Existing nnplatted substandard lots considered buildable <br /> ** Platting Code requirement for neW building lots <br />
