Mike Gaffron From: Mike Gaffron Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 11:33 AM To: Melanie Curtis; Christine Mattson Subject: Lyric Ave Lots-Joe Bieker FYI— Today i contacted Joe Bieker who had been inquiring about building on Lots 16& 17, Block 5, Navarre Heights (the two vacant lots west of 3472 Lyric). I advised Joe that he could make the building permit application to build a single residence on the combination of the two lots. in discussions with "Abby' at Hennepin County(612-348-2995) I learned that Hennepin County will be processing a combination of Lots 16& 17 per the City's request in Tax Forfeit Resolution No. 5965 adopted 9-14-09. The combined property should be assigned the address 3484 Lvric Avenue. Chris—please make a street file for this address—I have various documents to put in it. The combined property is 100' x 134.5' or 13,450 s.f. in area and subject to the LR-1C zoning standards. Because the property is a nonconforming lot within the Shoreland Overlay District, it is subject to the provisions of Section 78-72(c). Because past City requirements for combination of these previously tax-forfeited lots pre-date the recent state statute regarding nonconforming lots of record in Shoreland,they will be subject to Section 78-72(c)(1) rather than 78-72(c)(2). The property is limited to 25% hardcover. The property was fully assessed for sewer and water service in the 1963-1B and 1964-16 sewer projects and 1970 LW-1 water project. Sewer and water stubs are available. No assessments for sewer or water are due. The Met Council SAC charge will be due with the building permit, as these lots have not had a sewer connection in the past. Any questions, see me.
