VVHEREAS, Lots 1-4 and Scotch Pine Lane will be replatted into three building
lots and a private driveway outlot, with lot areas as follows:
Proposed Lot 1 = 1.13 acres (Marfield)
Proposed Lot 2 = 0.85 acres (Hill)
Proposed Lot 3 = 1.34 acres (± 0.96 acres dry) (Toles)
Outlot A = 0.05 acres; and
�'VHEREAS, as a result of the replat, each of the three proposed lots increases in
acreage gained from the vacation of Scotch Pine Lane, and in t�ie case of progosed �,ot 2, also
resulting from the addition of area incoiporated within the existing Lot 2. Each of proposed Lots
1, 2 and 3 will, however, remain at lot areas less than the required two acre minimum for the LR-
lA Zoning District, requiring a lot area variance; and
WHEREAS, each of proposed Lots 1, 2 and 3 are lakeshore lots but lack the
required 200' lot width at the shoreline and at the 75' lakeshore setback Iine as required in the LR-
lA district, requirin� lot width variances for each of Lots 1, 2 and 3; and
�'�'I�REAS, proposed Lots 2 and 3 both abut North Shore Drive, a platted Counry
road. Proposed Lot 1 as a result of the replat will no longer abut a public roadway, but will gain
access via a shared driveway servinJ proposed Lots 1 and 2 within proposed Outlot A. By
definition, proposed Lot 1 is a "back lot" per Municipal Subdivision Code Section 11.03,
Subdivision 2. Per Section 11.31, Subdivision 5 (C-2), proposed Lot 1 is required to meet 1509
of the two acre zoning district lot area requirement; is required to meet the 200' lot width
requirement at the shoreline, at the lakeshore setback line, and at the street yard setback line; is
subject to a street ��ard or front yard depth of 150% of the 50' front yard requirement of the LR-
lA district; and is subject to a side yard depth of 150% of the 30' LR-lA side yard requirement;
and
«'HEREAS, as a result of the replat, the M�eld property (proposed Lot 1)
becomes a back lot �•ith 4�' required side setbacks rather than the 30' side setbacks normall��
required in the LR-lA district, mal:ing more of Marfield's residence structure non-conformina
to the side setback requirements. Similazly, the Hill properly (proposed Lot 2) becomes a front
lot subject to a �0' side sveet setback alona Outlot A, and 30' side setback along the common
boundary line �tiith proposed Lot 1. The replat results in revised setback requirements
impacting proposed Lots 1, 2 and 3, ��hich must be taken into account in future improvements
to those properties;

WHEREAS, the Council finds that it is appropriate to grant variances for the
"front lot" and "back lot" non-conformities created by the replat; and
VVHEREAS, proposed Lots 1 and 2 will gain access to North Shore Drive via
a shared drivew•a�• located within Outlot A, at the current location of Scotch Pine Lane.
Proposed Lot 3 «'ill no longer gain access from Scotch Pine Lane but will create a new
drive���ay access directly onto North Shore Drive approximately 200' east of the existing Scotch

adequate access for fire fighting equipment. Further, the Long Lake Fire Department ha5
indicated the proposed driveway construction and proposed widths are sufficient for the
necessarv sta�ing. of fire fighting equipment; and
WHEREAS, the concurrent vacation of Scotch Pine Lane and all of the utility
easements originall�• dedicated within the Dicon Addition, requires rededication of new utilit�
easements for existing and future utility lines. The proposed rededication includes a 30'
municipal se���er easement over the existing municipal sewer laterals within Scotch Pine Lane.
