Lot Size and Dimensions The Subject Property came from the State through County as part of the turn back of the Old Snelling Avenue corridor ROW. The lot is considered a nonconforming lot. Section 1320 — District Provisions of the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet per single-family dwelling unit and a minimum depth of 130 feet. The Applicants did obtain a certificate of survey which verified that the total lot area of the Subject Property is 0.33 deeded acres (14, 472 square feet), but the lot depth has a mean depth of 97.4 feet. The Applicants is requesting a 32.6 foot lot depth variance to address this nonconformity in lot size. As previously noted, the lot size from staff s initial analysis would require a variance prior to future development as confirmed by the City Attorney. From the recent survey completed by the Applicants, the City identified that the total lot area of the parcel is slightly larger than the property information available on the County records. City staff contacted Ramsey County and it was their direction to use the boundary dimensions and lot area calculations as shown on the official survey as this document was prepared by a licensed surveyor. They indicated that the County's GIS map is only an inventory of tax records based upon the best available information.
