The applicant is requesting a lot line rearrangement to ' <br /> resolve issues concerning the location of the common lot line with 450 East Long Lake Road. The <br /> house at 460 was constructed in 1953. The house at 450 was constructed in 1959. Its lot was split off <br /> from 460. Because of a surveying error,the common property line was marked about 50 feet north of <br /> its actual location. This line was observed as the property line by the current owner of 450 and the <br /> former owner of 460. Amit Sela Holdings,Inc.,purchased 460 in July 2007. In August 2007, a survey <br /> of the two lots showed the house at 450 was 21 feet onto Sela's property. <br /> The lot line rearrangement would relocate the common lot line between 450 and 460 to where it had <br /> been thought to be before the properly was surveyed last August. No hardcover information is available <br /> for 450. If 460 were reconstructed, it would be in compliance with hardcover regulations. Turner noted <br /> that both properties are served by city sewer. <br /> After the lot line rearrangement,460 would be 0.88 acres,0.63 acre non-wetland. The setback from the <br /> south property line is proposed to be 10.81 feet when 30 feet is required. The front setback is proposed <br /> to be 43.5 feet when 50 feet is required. The proposed house is a partial two-story with a walkout <br /> basement. Although the house appears to be a story and a half because of the dimensions of the house, <br /> the peak height will be about the same as a two-story house. <br /> Planning Staff recommends approval of the lot line rearrangement conditioned on dedication of a road <br /> easement for East Long Lake Road over the west 19.58 of the property to reflect the historic right-of- <br /> way for the road. <br /> PAGE 11 <br />
