Lot Size and Dimensions <br /> <br />The minimum lot area in the R-1 District is 14,000 square feet. The minimum lot width in the R- <br />1 District is 95 feet and the minimum depth is 130 feet. Since the property is located on Lake <br />Johanna, they would be required to have a minimum frontage of 75 feet along the lakeshore. Lot <br />size, width, depth and lake frontage is significantly larger than the minimum. <br /> <br />B. Setbacks <br /> <br />The large parcel meets all setbacks.

The areas with <br />improved buildings and open space include roughly 35% of the parcel. These areas include <br />significant areas of pervious surface. <br /> <br /> <br />Department Review <br /> <br />Plans have been reviewed by the Public Works director, the Building Inspector, Consultant <br />Engineer and Water Resource Specialist and the Fire Department.
