�� �� 28 August 2006 Richard & Sue Stafne 156 Woodlynn Avenue Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Development Review Committee comments on your Division of Land Application Dear Richard and Sue, The Development Review Committee (DRC) met on August 24th to discuss your application to subdivide your residential lot and has the following comments and recommendations: 1. Section 1104.04E requires that new lots meet or exceed the size requirements established in the code, and requires further that the creation of a new lot must not also create nonconforming conditions (e.g., cause a driveway to be less than 5 feet from the new property line) on adjacent properties. 2. While the width of the proposed lot at the building line appears to be 85 feet, the DRC noted that the intent of the related provision in the code is to maintain at least 85 feet in width along the whole depth of the building envelope. The proposal includes narrowing the lot by 10 feet, approximately midway through the building envelope, which would be counter to the intent of this code provision (i.e., §1103.06A1). 3. The location of the existing building and pavement appears to be slightly inconsistent with the dimensions indicated on the site plan submitted for review when compared to the City's property records. I have enclosed two illustrations of the proposed lot split: one is consistent with the dimensions as you've proposed them, and the other shows what the dimensions would be if the property lines were laid out relative to the existing improvements as drawn in the submitted site plan. a. The illustration showing the boundaries of the new lot based on the proposed dimensions indicates that the proposed lot would stretch farther east than the site plan sketch suggests. A new lot with these dimensions would comply with the size and area requirements as they are written in the Code, but variances would be required to address the reduced building and driveway setbacks. b. The illustration showing the boundaries of the new lot relative to the existing building and driveway, however, indicates that the lot (as sketched) would not meet the dimensional and area requirements of §1004.016 of the City Code. This proposal would also require a variance for the encroachment of the existing driveway into the required side yard setback.
