Page 3 of 4 approved, Subject Property A would be 23,048 square feet, and Subject Property B would be 21,704 square feet. Both parcels would comply with the minimum lot area, width, and depth in the R-2 District. Structure Setbacks with Adjusted Lot Lines – Meets Requirements No structural changes are proposed for the existing development on Property A or B. The minimum principal structure setbacks in the R-2 District are 40 feet in the front yard, 30 feet in the rear yard (Principal), a 5-foot minimum in the side yard with both side yards required to add up to a total of 15 feet (Principal), and 10 feet in the rear and side yard (Accessory). The existing accessory structure on Property B is a legal nonconforming structure because it encroaches into the 10-foot rear yard setback requirement. The proposed lot line adjustment does not impact setback requirements from the existing development or create a nonconformity on either parcel. Based on the survey provided, all applicable setbacks will be met as a result of the proposed lot line adjustment between Property A and B. Lot Coverage – Meets Requirements The maximum structure coverage permitted in the R-2 District is 25 percent of the lot area. The minimum landscape lot area is 65 percent. Both Subject Properties would meet the structure and landscape coverage requirements with the proposed subdivision.

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. As noted above, the two properties have joint access to a driveway that crosses the shared property line along New Brighton Road. The Applicants are requesting the Minor Subdivision to alter the property line to include all of the driveway access along New Brighton Road as part of Property A. Property B will continue to utilize the existing driveway access off of Beckman Avenue to their residence and will discontinue use of the access off of New Brighton Road. The Applicants have identified that the Owner of Property B would be removing a section of the driveway to permanently discontinue use of the New Brighton Road access. The portion of driveway to be removed was not shown on the site survey submitted, but the Applicant has provided an illustration of where New Lot Line A B
