Plan Evaluation Lot Size and Dimensions The Subject Property is 40,287 square feet or 0.92 acres. The Subject Property includes an existing single-family detached dwelling that was built in 1946 and an accessory structure. The existing dwelling is connected to City utilities. The proposed dwelling on Parcel B would also be required to connect to City sewer and water lines as well as install a driveway access on Shoreline Lane. The minimum lot area in the R-2 District is 11,000 square feet. The minimum lot width is eighty- five (85) feet and the minimum depth is 120 feet. The proposed Parcels A and B would meet the minimum requirements for the R-1 District. The existing dwelling on Parcel A currently meets the R-2 District setback requirements and would continue to meet these requirements with the proposed subdivision. Building plans have not been submitted for Parcel B at this time, but based on the submitted plans a dwelling could be constructed to meet the setback requirements. Setbacks will be verified at the time a building permit is submitted for Parcel B. The maximum structure coverage permitted in the R-2 District is twenty-five (25) percent of the lot area. The minimum landscape lot area is sixty-five (65)percent. The proposed Parcel A would meet the structure and landscape coverage requirements. Lot coverage for Parcel B would be verified at the time a building permit is submitted, however,based on the submitted plan it appears that structure and landscape coverage requirements could be met. Each property in the subdivision is entitled to exactly one (1) access to a public street. The permitted width of accesses to streets is subject to County or State regulations, depending on whether the connecting street is maintained by the city, county, or state. According to City Code Section 1325.06, Subd. 3 the minimum width of a driveway access into Shoreline Lane is ten (10) feet; the maximum width permitted is twenty-two (22) feet wide. A driveway access may be placed adjacent to property lines, but it cannot be placed closer than five (5) feet to an existing driveway on an abutting parcel, and no driveway access can be placed closer than five (5) feet to any other principal building. The plans submitted by the Applicant meet the requirements in the ordinance, but the provisions of the code will be verified at the time a building permit is submitted for Parcel B. Section 1130.08 —Public Use Dedications The Subdivision Ordinance requires developers of subdivisions to dedicate to the public a reasonable percentage of the tract to be developed. Section 1130.08 Subd. 3 of the Subdivision Ordinance indicates that for a subdivision that results in new dwelling units of less than two and a half(2.5)units per acre, the Applicant shall dedicate ten (10)percent of the buildable land area in the subdivision or pay a park development fee of$6,500 per residential unit. A cash contribution in lieu of land dedication may be required at the discretion of the City. Ten (10) percent of the development would be 0.09 acres which would not allow for a feasible park area. As a condition of approval, the applicant shall pay a park development fee of $6,500 for the proposed single- family residential lot B. This fee would only be applied to the proposed Parcel B.
