PLANNING REPORT: DATE: June 2, 1993 CASE NUMBER: 2527 APPLICANT : Jim and Linda Schumacher LOCATION: 2728 Lexington Avenue Division of Platted Lot ACTION REQUESTED: l. BACKGROUND The Schumachers own Lots 7 and 8, Block 3, Roseville Heights. In 1969, the lots were combined under one parcel identification number. currently a house is situated on Lot 8. The Schumachers have applied for a lot division in order to construct a house on Lot 7. The Roseville City Code defines a subdivision as a tract of land to be divided into two or more lots or parcels for the purpose of transfer of ownership or building development (Section 20.020). The code requires the Planning Commission and ci ty Council to consider this request. 2 . Development S111111narv The lot division request is illustrated on the attached surveys. The lot division is consistent with the original lot configuration for Roseville Heights. Lot Area Lot width Lot DeDth Lot 7 10,003 S.F. 79.93' 125.14' Lot 8 l2,254 S.F. 97.92' l25.l4' R-l Stds. 11,000 S.F. 85' 110' (Section 7.290) While Lot 7 is not consistent with current R-1 lot dimensions and minimum size, it is consistent with the prevailing lot sizes in the Roseville Heights neighborhood. City practice has been to respect the standards in place at the time of originally platting of an area within the City when considering lot divisions. In this case, both lots would remain essentially the same as at the time of platting. The existing house on Lot 8 meets all setback requirements and no variances would be necessary. Lot 7 can be developed without the need for variances as well. Public Works Department has pointed out that the sanitary sewer runs along Lexington Avenue and the watermain runs along the rear property line. Driveway openings will need a permit from Ramsey County and meet County standards.
