FILE#16-3875 <br /> October 17,2016 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> portion of the lot. The buildable portion of the lot sits higher than the Crystal Bay Road. The <br /> subject property is 14,875 square feet, smaller than the 1/2 acre minimum lot size for the <br /> district. Additionally,the encroachment of Crystal Bay Road further reduces the lot area of the <br /> property. Lot area calculations for homes in this area do not include the land area or hard cover <br /> of Crystal Bay Road. The effective lot size is 12,841 square feet, and is used for the following <br /> analysis of the variance. <br /> Access to the home will be via an existing gravel drive within Hennepin County right of way and <br /> parallel to the Dakota Rail Trail. <br /> Further, an existing water-main runs between 9 and 23 feet north of the southern property line. <br /> Though a portion of this watermain encroaches further into the lot, is located generally within <br /> vacated Kenwood Way,which was vacated in 1967. Per the vacation resolution#299 at that <br /> time, an easement was to be retained. The location of this watermain impacts available <br /> locations for the home, as staff has advised the property owner to be 10 feet back from the <br /> watermain to facilitate future maintenance repairs, effectively increasing the setback to 19-33 <br /> feet. Staff recommends that an easement be retained per the original vacation document. <br /> LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> Section 78-350-Setbacks: <br /> LR-1C DISTRICT Required (Feet) Proposed (Feet) <br /> Rear 30 11 <br /> Side (north) 10 10 <br /> Side (south) 10 13.7 <br /> Lakeshore 75' 64 <br /> Section 78-350-Lot Area/Width: <br /> LR-1C DISTRICT Lot Area Lot Width <br /> Required 21,780 s.f.
