R-2 Regulations, Existing Conditions, and Proposed Accessory Structure <br /> <br />A. Lot Size and Dimensions <br />The property extends from Fairview Avenue on <br />the west to Lake Johanna on the east. Lake <br />Johanna Boulevard is located between the <br />dwelling and the lakeshore. Based on the survey, <br />there does not appear to be dedicated public right- <br />of-way for Lake Johanna Boulevard. The survey <br />indicates the right-of-way width for Lake Johanna <br />Boulevard would be 66 feet. The City Attorney <br />has advised in the past when evaluating lot area in <br />these situations, the approximate area that would <br />be within the Lake Johanna Boulevard right-of- <br />way should be subtracted from the total lot area. <br />Using this calculation, the lot area of the subject <br />property is 9,254 square feet. The minimum lot <br />area in the R-2 District is 11,000 square feet. <br /> <br />Applicable R-2 Lot Requirements <br />1. Minimum Lot Area (sf.) 11,000 <br />2. Minimum Lot Size (ft., width/depth) 85/120 <br />3. Height (ft.) 35 <br />4. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) 0.3 <br />5. Lot Covered by Structure 25% <br />6. Minimum Landscape Lot Area 65% <br />7.
