Site Plan B — Applicant Requested Approval The Applicant has indicated that if both lots were to be oriented with their front yards facing east rather than facing Edgewater Avenue, Lot A would meet the minimum lot depth requirement, and the total buildable area would increase. The Applicant has pointed out that this would be more consistent with the orientation of neighboring lakefront properties to the north of the Subject Property which have front yards facing east. Additionally, the Applicant has stated that his proposed lot configuration in Site Plan B is able to accommodate a building pad that could meet setbacks, minimum lot coverage, minimum lot area per dwelling unit, maximum dwelling unit density, and minimum landscaped area requirements for the R-2 District and the Shoreland Overlay District. The Applicant is proposing to construct a single-family dwelling on each parcel. For the City Council review, the Applicant has submitted a Certificate of Survey identifying the proposed lot configuration and house footprint of Tract A and Tract B. At this stage, the Applicant is seeking City Council review on the variance portion of the minor subdivision in advance of developing civil plans, house floor plans, and renderings. 5. Planning Case Background The City Council previously reviewed a concept plan for the proposed Minor Subdivision and Variance at the work session on September 2, 2022 (Planning Case 22-016). From the preliminary analysis, planning staff did identify that Parcel A would also require a variance to allow a shorter lot depth than what was required by the city code. At this meeting, the City Council was generally supportive of the lot dimensions for a two parcel Minor Subdivision as presented. Planning staff noted that the Applicant may need to seek additional variances based on the description of setbacks as verbally presented during the concept review. At their meeting on March 8, 2023, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 to recommend approval with conditions of the planning case. The Commission voted 5-0 to add a condition of approval Page 4 of 12
