C. Lots, Location and Size — All lots are required to abut by their full frontage on a public street and meet the minimum lot dimensions required by the Zoning Code. The two lots have frontage on a public street. The Applicant is seeking a variance to meet the minimum standards of the R-2 District for lot width on Tract B. 2. Section 1130.08, Park Development Fee 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 2.5 units per acre, the applicant shall dedicate 10 percent of the buildable land area in the subdivision or pay a park development fee of $6,500 per residential unit. Ten percent of the development would be 0.13 acres which would not allow for a feasible park area. As a recommended condition of approval, the developer would be required to pay a park development fee of $6,500 for the proposed newly created single-family residential lot B. This fee would only be applied to the proposed Tract B. 3. Section 1150.03, Minor Subdivision of Unplatted Property The Subdivision ordinance allows for a Minor Subdivision of an unplatted tract of land to be exempted from the platting requirements of this chapter and may be allowed to be accomplished by means of a survey or registered land survey provided that the following requirements have been met: A. The resultant parcels abut on and have access to an existing public street, road, thoroughfare or highway. Criteria met. B. The subdivision will not involve the opening, widening or extension of any public or private street, road, thoroughfare or highway and will not involve the dedication, reservation or construction of any type of public utility. Criteria met. C. The subdivision will not obstruct future streets which have been planned by the City. Criteria met. D. The subdivision will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to adjacent tracts in the area in which the subdivision tract is located. Criteria met. E. The registered land survey conforms in all respects to the provisions of M.S. § 508.47 (4), as amended, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, or the survey contains the minimum requirements as outlines in Section 1150.03, Subd. 2, E items 1- 13. Criteria met. F. Monuments or stakes shall be placed and installed at all corners and angle points of the resultant parcels. Criteria to be met. Recommended condition of approval. G. The resultant parcels will not have setbacks and dimensions less than those required in the zoning ordinance, as amended. Criteria not met. The Subdivision ordinance for minimum design standards requires all newly created lots to abut by their full frontage on a publicly dedicated street. The Applicant is requesting a variance for the lot width for Tract B to allow 60 feet as measured abutting Edgewater Avenue. Additionally, the Applicant is proposing in Site Plan B to consider the eastern property line as the front yard for both parcels. Page 6 of 12
