All setback requirements can be met; <br /> b A Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, can be <br /> installed or the lot is connected to a public sewer; and <br /> c. The impervious surtace coverage does not exceed 25 percent of the lot. <br /> (2) In a group of two or more contiguous lots of record under a common ownership, an individual lot must <br /> be considered as a separate parcel of land for the purpose of sale or development, if it meets the <br /> following requirements: <br /> a. The lot must be at least 66 percent of the dimensional standard for lot width and lot size for the <br /> shoreland classification consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 6120; <br /> b. The lot must be connected to a public sewer, if available, or must be suitable for the installation of <br /> a Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, and local <br /> government controls; and <br /> c. Impervious surtace coverage must not exceed 25 percent of each lot; and <br /> d. Development of the lot must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br /> (3) A lot subject to either sections 78-72(c)(1) or (2) remains subject to the hardcover restrictions of this <br /> chapter. Where a hardcover restriction applied by this chapter prohibits the placement, location or <br /> construction of hardcover, the impervious surface coverage allowed by sections 78-72(c)(1) and (2) <br /> shall be placed, located or constructed in zones that do not prohibit hardcover. Such allowance shall <br /> be made so that the total amount of hardcover that may be placed, located or constructed in areas <br /> where hardcover is not prohibited shall not exceed 25 percent of the entire lot. <br /> (4) A lot subject to section 78-72(c)(2) not meeting the requirements of section 78-72(c)(2) must be <br /> combined with the one or more contiguous lots so they equal one or more conforming lots as much as <br /> possible. <br /> (5) Nofinrithstanding section 78-72(c)(2), contiguous nonconforming lots of record in shoreland areas <br /> under a common ownership must be able to be sold or purchased individually if each lot contained a <br /> habitable residential dwelling at the time the lots came under common ownership and the lots are <br /> suitable for, or served by, a sewage treatment system consistent with the requirements of Minn. Stat. § <br /> 115.55 and Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, or connected to a public sewer. <br /> (6) In all variance requests, zoning and building permit applications or conditional use requests, the <br /> property owner shall address, when determined as appropriate by the city engineer or city staff, storm <br /> water runoff management, reduction �of impervious surtaces, setback increases, restoration of <br /> wetlands, vegetative buffers, sewage treatment and water supply capabilities, and other conservation- <br /> designed actions. <br /> (7) A portion of a conforming lot may be separated from an existing parcel as long as the remainder of the <br /> existing parcel meets the lot size and sewage treatment requirements of the zoning district for a new <br /> lot and the newly created parcel is combined with an adjacent parcel. <br /> (Code 1984, § 10.03(6)(A); Ord.
