(7-0) CASE #89-02; MINOR Planner Bergly reviewed his report of 3-1-89, relative to SUBD/LOT COMBIN. , the proposed minor subdivision and lot combination for KARTH LK. SO. 2ND Karth Lake South Second Addition, Keith Eibensteiner, ADDN. , EIBENSTEINER generally located at Hamline Avenue & Wyncrest Court. The Planner briefly reviewed a previous request by the applicant for a lot split and consolidation in this area, which was denied by the Planning Commission in 1983; basis for denial was due to the irregular shape of the lot combination as proposed. Bergly stated the lot pattern currently proposed by the applicant requires variances on Lot 1 and Lot 5, for lot width and lot depth, and the subdivision ordinance specifies that a minor subdivision cannot contain variances. He • explained the applicant requested pursuing the division at this time as as minor subdivision and that the Planning Commission and Council indicate whether or not they would be willing to consider granting the variances proposed; if both bodies would consider approval of the variances as proposed, the applicant would submit • a preliminary plat at the next meeting and follow the necessary procedures for variances and public hearings. Planner Bergly reviewed the considerations listed in his report of 3-1-89, as related to: 1. The lot pattern proposed by the planner in 1983; same number of lots would be provided and all lots would meet minimum requirements. (exhibit #3) 2. Potential development of property to the north of this site and provision for future access via an easement across proposed Lot 5. (exhibit 4) 3. Lot reduction and rationale for variance request for proposed Lot 1. 4. Lot configuration for proposed Lot 5; would require variance. 5. Establishment of front setback for proposed Lot 1; 60 ft. setback recommended. 6. Drainage patterns; recommended a Swale be provided along the north or east lot line of proposed Lot 2, to create a positive drainage pattern and avoid potential problems between neighbors. 7. The existing home and garage be removed from existing Lot 11, as required. and noted on the plat.
