� � #07-3274 • March 16,2007. Page 4 Lot Layout and Lot Standards Both resulting lots meet the 2-acre, 200' width standard of the LR-lA zoning district as � proposed. If the private road outlot is increased in width to accommodate a wider paved road, lot � lines may have to be shifted to keep 2.00 acres within Lot 1. Each lot is served by municipal sewer, hence preservation of septic sites is not a factor in site planning. Each lot has substantial area meeting the required frontlrear/side setbacks for construction of a new residence. It is likely that the existing non-conforming (<75' to lake) residence structure on Lot 1 will be replaced with a substantial new residence. The home at 1500 is also nonconforming due to lake proximity; while its replacement is not a foregone conclusion, it is likely. Both lots can be developed without the need for setback or hardcover variances. However, the applicant has requested special hardcover considerations for Lot 2. First, that the Woods cabin on the east shore of Lot 2 be allowed to remain (1,122 s.f. of hardcover to remaining the 0-75' zone); and second, that a hardcover alloiment of 17,500 s.f. or about 31% of - the 75-250' zone, be granted as part of the subdivision approval. Applicant notes this is substa.ntially less hardcover than currently exists on the property. Due to the unique layout, both lots would technically need an average lakeshore setback variance. This should be granted on a permanent basis for both lots as part of the subdivision approval, subject to meeting all setback requirements. � . Park Dedication The City has no proposed trails on Bracketts Point, and no proposed or anticipated park needs. Since this is functionally a lot line rearrangement of existing developed lots and no new building sites=a.�e=b.eing create.d,eno pa�kland detlicatiQn�or fee�sxequired. Utilities As part of this formal road and easement vacation application, the appropriate public utility companies will be notified to determine�whether their facilities are impacted and the need for retention or creation of easenients. This item will not be brought forward to Council until the utilities have had a chance to respond. City sewer exists in a portion of the right-of-way to be vacated. This will become the lakeshore yard of a new residence on Lot 1. The applicant proposes to install new sewer lines under the � new private road, to serve a11 three abutting properties. The existing sewer lines will then be abandoned. This relocation will also provide a direct connection for the Headrick property rather than traversing other properties. The new sewer lines will be owned by the City.
