(6-0) CASE #88-04; LOT Planner Bergly referred Commission to his report and DIVISION, 1960 W. briefly explained the background of this proposed COUNTY RD. E-2 division; noted the original proposal was presented to Planning Commission two years ago. Bergly stated the applicant had attempted to purchase a large portion of unused right-of-way from Ramsey County and attach the land to the existing lot in order to accomplish a lot division which would create two conforming lots. The land could not legally be sold to the landowner by the County, however, it could be released to the City. He stated the City negotiated with Ramsey County for release of this excess right-of-way to the City and the Council will conduct a public hearing on the release of the land to the property owner. . The Planner explained the request is to divide a parcel containing 36,368 square feet into three parcels: l. Lot 1 contains the existing residence and is 21,492 sq. ft. in area; it is 160 ft. in width and an average of 134 ft. in depth. 2. Lot 2 is at the intersection of County Road E-2 and New Brighton Road; it is 14,315 sq. ft. in area, 94 feet in width and 154 ft. in depth. 3. The third parcel clears up an encroachment on Lot 1, above, by a garage and shed owned by the resident to the south. This jog in the property line is 51 ft. long (east to west), is 11 ft. in depth and contains 561 sq. ft. The City Council can take action on combining this small parcel (Outlot A) with Lot 4 to the south at their March 12 meeting. Bergly reviewed the considerations listed in his report relating to easements necessary for public purposes, both lots exceeding the minimum requirements in the R-2 District and determination of the setbacks by the Zoning Administrator. The Planner stated the proposed division of Lot 3 meets all ordinance requirements, has been found by the City Engineer to meet easement and filing standards and will provide an attractive new home site. He recommended approval of the proposed division subject to the four items listed under "Recommendationll on page 2 of his report. John Robinson, applicant, was present and stated he did not have any additional . COmments. Chairman Probst questioned if the proposed lot split will create any variance issues for the existing home or proposed home. -----
