REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 5-28-96 Department Approval: ~/MF Manager Reviewed: ITEM NO.: G-4 Agenda Section: Item Description: Hearing Frank Tschida request for preliminary and fmal plat approval at 350 S. Owasso Boulevard. Backlround The Tschida family has owned property in the southeast quadrant of South Owasso Boulevard and Western Avenue for many years. In 1992, the City approved a division of a lot for Virginia Tschida with which a portion of the property was sold to Cave and Associates which, in 1993, was platted into four lots fro?ting on Western Avenue. During the 1992 consideration of the lot. division, the City's planning consultant prepared a concept plan for the Tschida property showing access to the interior property by a cul-de-sac extending west from the existing Farrington Street. Right-of-way from Farrington street to the Tschida property currently exists and is being used as the access to the proposed Tschida plat. - Development Summary: The property under consideration is legally described as outlot A of Tschida's Owasso Hills plat No.3, excluding Block I of Cave's Owasso Hills, Ramsey County, Minnesota. It is 2.54 acres in size and is zoned R-l Single Family residential. The property is guided for low density residential development in the City's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The preliminary plat proposed by the Tschida family consists of 8 single family lots on the 2.54 acres, creating an overall density of 3.15 units per acre. Two of the lots front on South Owasso Boulevard and six lots take their access from the proposed Stanbridge Circle cul-de-sac connecting into Farrington Street. All 8 of the lots are sized in excess of the 11,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size for interior lots, however, as a part of the preliminary plat application, the applicantS are seeking a variance to the lot standard requiring an 85 foot width at the established building setback line for four of the lots fronting on the cul-de-sac. For this plat, they are seeking an 80 foot minimum width at the setback for these lots which still provides adequate room to construct a single family home without requiring side yard setback variances. 1
