Section 1004.020, City Code, requires a minimum lot area of 11,000 square <br />feet, a minimum lot width of 85 feet, and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.3 <br />for interior lots in an R1 zoning district. The existing parcel is 16,585 square <br />feet in area, 71.6 feet in width, and has a floor area ratio of 0.14. <br /> <br />2. The relocation of Dale Street in the late 1960s created numerous through <br />lots in this area. Since then, several lots have been split such as that being <br />proposed by the applicant. The lot directly north of this parcel was split in <br />1983 to create a lot with 7,500 square feet along Alta Vista Drive N and a lot <br />with 9,375 square feet along Dale Street N. <br /> <br />3. The proposed split would create a western lot with a lot area of 6,915 square <br />feet, a lot width of 71.64 feet, and a floor area ratio of 0.34. The split would <br />also create an eastern lot with a lot area of 8,954 square feet, a lot width of <br />71.64 feet, and a maximum floor area of 2,686 square feet (0.3 FAR). The <br />vacant eastern lot would include a 30 foot setback from Dale Street N, 10 <br />foot side yard setbacks, and a 30 foot rear yard setback (building foot print <br />of 65' x 51.64' - 3,356.6 square feet). <br /> <br />4. A utility servicing plan for the new parcel showing the location of the sanitary <br />sewer connection, ten foot sanitary sewer easement across the western <br />parcel, and water connection has not been provided by the applicant. <br /> <br />5. Written permission from Ramsey County for a driveway on to Dale Street N <br />from the new parcel (eastern portion of lot) has not been provided by the <br />applicant. <br /> <br />6. Written documentation from a soils engineer, including a soil borings report, <br />that the new parcel is suitable for construction, or identifying what remedies <br />are needed to correct the soils, has not been provided by the applicant. <br /> <br />PF#2925 - RPCA (09/10/97) - Page 3 of 4 <br />
