zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and designated for Low Density Residential Uses in the Future Land Use Plan. 2040 Future Land Use Plan: LDR — Low Density Residential Existing Land Use: Single -Family Dwelling Zoning: R-1 Single Family Residential District Lot Size: 1622: 0.101 acres/4,415 square feet 1624: 0.091 acres/3,957 square feet The Subject Property is located on the north side of Lake Johanna, south of Lake Johanna Boulevard. The two lots are riparian lots abutting Lake Johanna, which is classified as a general developments water, and are subject to applicable Shoreland Regulations under Zoning Code Section 1330. The property at 1622 Lake Johanna Blvd is developed with a single-family residential dwelling while the Subject Property at 1624 Lake Johanna Blvd is a vacant lot that is owned by the same property owner. The lots were created prior to the 1989 adoption of State Statute regulating shoreland development. Therefore, Minnesota Rules 6120.3300 for shoreland lots apply. The provisions in the shoreland rules are designed to bring nonconforming shoreland lots into conformance. According to statute, an individual nonconforming lot that is part of a contiguous group of lots under common ownership must be considered a separate parcel for sale or development, if: 1. The lot is at least 66% of lot area and width requirements in Minnesota Rule, part 6120.3300, subp. 2a; 2. The lot is connected to a public sewer or a Type 1 sewage system; 3. The impervious surface does not exceed 25%; and 4. The development is consistent with the comprehensive plan. If the lot does not meet all these criteria, the lot must be combined with one or more of the contiguous lots to improve conditions to be more aligned with statute and local zoning codes. While the lot is connected to a public sewer and a single-family dwelling on this lot is consistent with the comprehensive plan, the proposed project does not meet criteria 1 and 3. For criterion 1, 1622 Lake Johanna Blvd lot has a lot area of 4,415 square feet, which is 29.4 percent of the lot area required for a general development water riparian lot and a lot width of 73.28 feet, which is 97.6 percent of the required lot width. For criterion 3, the existing impervious surface coverage exceeds 25 percent. Combining the two lots is required in state statute. However, the proposed lot area after the lots are consolidated would result in a smaller -than -allowed lot area R-1-zoned parcels developed for single-family residential properties and the minimum required lot area established for riparian lots for general development waters in city code and a variance from the city's requirements is required. 3. Proposed Use Tan Nguyen ("The Applicant") has requested a Lot Consolidation and Variances from the lot area, lot depth, building area elevation, front yard setback, rear yard setback, Shore impact zone, permeable surface credit, structure coverage, and floor area ratio requirements for future demolition and redevelopment of a single-family residential dwelling on the subject property. The request would include the combination of the two residential parcels which are under the same ownership. To construct the proposed home, the Applicant is seeking a lot consolidation and nine variances based on applicable zoning code definitions and minimum lot standards. Page 4 of 18
