According to Hennepin County property records, the property contains approximately 8,900 square feet in area and has 70 feet in width along Tonka Avenue. This property is located within the LR-1A zoning district, requiring a minimum of 2.0 acres and 200-feet in width. Building on a substandard lot of record (i.e. a lot that does not meet the zoning district required lot area or width standards) will require variance approval by the City Council, and such approval is neither automatic nor guaranteed but requires that a hardship be demonstrated. Additionally, all current zoning standards will have to be met by the new principal dwelling including setbacks, lot coverage by structures, hardcover (impervious surface), height limits, etc. the property line setback requirements of the LR-1A district are as follows: • Front yard = 50 feet • Side yard = 30 feet • Rear yard = 50 feet Municipal sewer is available. However, based on the size of the property and the number of variances necessary to build on the property, the City Council decided to specifically exclude it from the 1992 Stubbs Bay Sewer project. Resolution 3168 was adopted (attached) which states 305 Tonka Avenue will be excluded from the sewer project due to the substandard size, or"unbuildable" nature, of the lot. As with all undeveloped properties, the City will accept an application for variances to develop the property. The Planning Commission and City Council will review all aspects of the proposal which should include a property survey, building plans, a grading plan, hardcover calculations, etc and make a determination as to the feasibility of developing this property. Your application will also include a request to connect to sanitary sewer. Based on the 2010 Fee Schedule, a City sewer connection fee of $19,750.00 would be due at the time of the issuance of a building permit. There is a process and are fees associated with making a variance application. If you wish to pursue this option please feel free to contact me at mcurtisa_ci.orono.mn.us or by phone at 952.249.4627 and I would be happy to assist you.
