The regulations regarding this district can be found here. Specifically minimum lot requirements are here. Hardcover rules are here. In order to build on one or more of the properties the minimum lot requirements must be met. If the existing lot of record is smaller than the requirements for LR-1C area or width you may qualify under the Lots of Record provision within our code. Because the properties are contiguous; are owned in common; are located within our Shoreland Overlay district and are within a lakeshore residential (LR-1C) district the following rule applies: Sec. 78-72. - Lots of record (c) A lot of record located in any shoreland district, including the shoreland overlay district, RS seasonal recreational district, and lakeshore residential districts, that does not meet the requirements of this chapter for lot size or lot width shall be subject to the following regulations: (2) In a group of two or more contiguous lots of record under a common ownership, an individual lot must be considered as a separate parcel of land for the purpose of sale or development, if it meets the following requirements: a. The lot must be at least 66 percent of the dimensional standard for lot width and lot size for the shoreland classification consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 6120; Staff comment: Non-lakeshore lots must be (66%of 10,000 =) 6,600 s.f. area and 49.5'in width minimum. b. The lot must be connected to a public sewer, if available, or must be suitable for the installation of a Type 1 sewage treatment system consistent with Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, and local government controls; and c. Impervious surface coverage must meet all hardcover location and square footage restrictions of this chapter and the total square footage of hardcover must not exceed 25 percent of the entire lot area; and d. Development of the lot must be consistent with the comprehensive plan. (3) A lot subject to either subsections 78-72(c)(1) or(2) remains subject to the hardcover restrictions of this chapter, as follows: a. Where the hardcover square footage allotment as calculated based on the assigned tier exceeds 25 percent of the entire lot area, hardcover shall be limited to 25 percent of the entire lot area. b. No portion of the impervious surface square footage allowed shall be placed within in 75 feet of a lake OHWL or tributary bank, except for those items normally allowed in such location as regulated elsewhere in this chapter. (4) A lot subject to subsection 78-72(c)(2) not meeting the requirements of subsection 78-72(c)(2) must be combined with the one or more contiguous lots so they equal one or more conforming lots as much as possible. (5) Notwithstanding subsection 78-72(c)(2), contiguous nonconforming lots of record in shoreland areas under a common ownership must be able to be sold or purchased individually if each lot contained a habitable residential dwelling at the time the lots came under common ownership and the lots are suitable for, or served by, a sewage treatment system consistent with the requirements of Minn. Stat. § 115.55 and Minnesota Rules, chapter 7080, or connected to a public sewer. (6) In all variance requests, zoning and building permit applications or conditional use requests, the property owner shall address, when determined as appropriate by the city engineer or city staff, storm water runoff management, reduction of impervious surfaces, setback increases, restoration of wetlands, vegetative buffers, sewage treatment and water supply capabilities, and other conservation-designed actions. 1
