In addition, ten lakefront properties, which are further guided by the Shoreland Ordinance, meet the minimum area and width requirements to allow for parcel division. As shown in Figure 1: Subdividable Single-Family Residential Parcels, subdividable parcels are scattered throughout the City; however, there is a greater concentration of large lots within four areas of the community: Acorn Road, Glick Lane, Lake Josephine, and Lake Owasso. The number of subdividable lots range from three in the Lake Josephine area to sixteen in the Glick Lane area. Area 1: Acorn Road Ten single-family residential parcels could potentially be subdivided in Area 1. The average lot size within this area is 65,776 square feet (1.51 acres). Home age on these lots ranges from 8 to 57 years old with an average home age of 35 years. Area 2: Glick Lane There are sixteen single-family residential parcels that could be subdivided into two or more parcels within Area 2. The average lot size within this area is 48,787 square feet (1.12 acres). Home age ranges from three to 46 with the majority of the being built between 1960 and 1978. Area 3: Lake Josephine Within Area 3, three single-family residential parcels could be split into two or more buildable lots. The average lot size within this area is 81,893 square feet (1.88 acres). Home age ranges from 38 to 86 years old. Two of the three homes were built in the 1920s, which is very old for the City of Roseville. Area 4: Lake Owasso Five single-family lots could split to into two or more buildable lots. The average lot size within this area is 98,000 square feet (2.25 acres).

Lot Size and Neighborhood Character During public hearings at the Planning Commission and debate at City Council meetings on these minor subdivision application, the issue of neighborhood character and the impact these proposals would impose on existing neighborhood character has arisen as a concern for those living near the subject properties, commission members, and elected officials. Topography, natural features, and geography; house age, architectural style, and style; and lot size, setbacks, and density all contribute to the uniqueness of a neighborhood. Isolating lot size as the sole contributor to neighborhood character diminishes the contributions that other equally important factors play in defining a neighborhood.
