It is assumed that the proposal retains the two houses <br />on the south side of the lagoon as two separate parcels. In subdivisions, all created lots must meet the zoning <br />requirements, or variances must be requested and granted. Please be advised that the City Council does not <br />typically grant variances for subdivisions. Further, any existing non-conformities (driveway configuration) are <br />often expected to be resolved. My comments are intended to provide guidance as you consider your next steps. <br /> <br />1. Zoning. The subject properties are unique, in that they both extend from Shoreline Drive south, over a <br />lagoon, then onto Lake Minnetonka. The portion of each lot north of the lagoon is zoned LR-1C-1, and <br />the portion south of the lagoon is zoned LR-1B. The lot area/ width, and setbacks for each zone are as <br />follows: <br /> LR-1C-1 LR-1B <br />Area 0.5 acres 1.0 acres <br />Width 100 140 <br />Lake Setback 75 75 <br />Side Setback 10 10 <br />Rear setback 30 30 <br /> <br />Based on the unscaled plans provided, the lot sizes are as follows: You will need to show that each lot <br />has a building site that conforms to these setbacks.
