1 . ~ ~~ILLS CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: September 18, 2001 TO: Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Aaron Parrish, City Planner SUBJECT: Case #01-26, McKinley Companies Minor Subdivision/Lot Split Parcel Parcel at 4420 Hamline Avenue North . Reuuest The applicant has requested the minor subdivision/lot split of a very large, 35,100 sf, parcel at 4420 Hamline Avenue N into two lots. The parcel and its neighbors are in the R-l Zoning District. Prior to that approval, a variance reducing the minimum required lot width in the R-l District from 95 ft to 82 ft for one of the proposed lots must be granted. ProDosal Divide the existing single platted lot into two parcels. Parcel A would be 19,1001 sf in area, 195 ft deep and 98 ft wide. It would contain the existing home on the site. Parcel B would be 15,990 sf in area, 195 ft deep and 82 ft wide. It would be a vacant lot for future development. Backl!round . The 19,100 sf Parcel A and the 15,990 sf Parcel B that would be the two new lots each exceed the R-1 minimum lot area standard of 14,000 sf. With a lot depth of 195 ft, they each will also exceed the 130 ft minimum lot depth required in the R-1 District. However, the parcel's width along Hamline is 180 ft, 10ft less than the 190 ft required to create two Jots in the R-l District. And, to accommodate the existing home on the site, the parcel cannot be divided evenly. Parcel A will be a conforming parcel, 98 ft wide. The required side yards, minimum and total, for the principle and accessory building are provided for Parcel A by this division (the patio is a permitted encroachment in a side yard, 6 C 2 b). This leaves 82 ft of frontage for Parcel B, and creates the specific requirement for the variance reducing the required lot width by 13 ft.
