4.0 BACKGROUND: 4.1 The Stafne parcel (156 Woodlynn Avenue) lies at the southwest corner of Rice Street and Woodlynn Avenue. The parcel is 129.6 feet in length along Rice Street and 230 feet in length along Woodlynn Avenue, totaling 29,785 sq. ft. It has one principal structure with attached garage (occupied by the applicants) which is situated near the mid point of the parcel. The Stafne home is set back approximately 70 feet from Woodlynn Avenue and approximately 85 feet from Rice Street. The parcel is surrounded by single family homes that are located on parcels of different sizes ranging from 20,900 sq. ft. to 30,000+ sq. ft. 42 The parcel is located within Comprehensive Planning District 5, where it is designated as Low Density Residential, LR and is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District. 4.3 On October 9, 2006, the Roseville City Council denied a previous request by the Stafne's for a similar lot division that included the need for an easement over the existing driveway. 4.4 At the hearing, the City Attorney concluded that a lots size should be determined without including the area included in any access easement, therefore the previous proposal as designed and presented to the City Council could not have met some the minimum requirements of the Roseville City Code. 5.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 5.1 The Stafne proposal seeks to create two parcels. Parcel A would include the existing home and proposes to relocate/reconstruct the existing driveway in compliance with the City Code (minimum of 5 feet from adjacent new property line) and a Parcel B, a legal conforming developable single family parcel. 5.2 City Code § 11.04E states: Three Parcel Minor Subdivision: When a subdivision creates a total of three (3) or less parcels, situated in an area where public utilities and street rights of way to serve the proposed parcels already exist in accordance with City codes, and no further utility or street extensions are necessary, and the new parcels meet or exceed the size requirements of the zoning code, the applicant may apply for a minor subdivision approval. The proposed subdivision, in sketch plan form, shall be submitted to the City Council at a public hearing with notice provided to all property owners within 350 feet. The proposed parcels shall not cause any portion of the existing lots, parcels, or existing buildings to be in violation of this regulation or the zoning code. Within 30 days after the approval by the City council, the applicant shall supply the final survey to the Communiry Development Director for review and approval. A certificate of survey shall be required on all proposed parcels. After completion of the review and approval by the Ciry manager, the survey shall be recorded by the applicant with the Ramsey County Recorder within 60 days. Failure to record the subdivision within 60 days shall nullify the approval of the subdivision. PF3796_RCA_111306.doc - Page 2 of 4
