for interior lots in an R1 zoning district. The existing parcel is 16,585 square feet in area, 71.6 feet in width, and has a floor area ratio of 0.14 (2346 square feet of living space). 2. The relocation of Dale Street in the late 1960s created numerous through lots in this area. Since then, several lots have been split such as that being proposed by the applicant. The lot directly north of this parcel was split in 1983 to create a lot with 7,500 square feet along Alta Vista Drive N and a lot with 9,375 square feet along Dale Street N. 3. There is a ten foot difference in elevation between eastern and western side of the lot. The proposed lot split would take advantage of this difference in elevation. 4. Providing the easterly lot with sanitary sewer service may be difficult. Sanitary sewer is not available in Dale Street N and the sanitary sewer in Alta Vista is at the same elevation as the parcel (:f:91 0 feet). A ten foot wide sanitary sewer easement will be needed along the northern edge of the western parcel in order to provide service. A grinder and pump will be needed for sanitary service. 5. Dale Street N is a County roadway. It is the policy of the County and City to acquire additional right-of-way as necessary to create an 86' right-of-way for County roadways; therefore, an additional ten feet of right-of-way easement will need to be conveyed to the City along the eastern property line of this lot. This conveyance will reduce the size of the eastern parcel to 8,954 square feet. 6. The driveway to Dale Street N from the new parcel will need to be approved by Ramsey County, as Dale Street N is a county roadway with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. 7. Soil borings will be needed in order to determine the feasibility of constructing a dwelling on the new parcel. The lot to the north, which was split in 1983, required a substantial amount of soil corrections prior to construction of the dwelling. 8. The proposed split would create a western lot with a lot area of 6,915 square feet, a lot width of 71.64 feet, and a floor area ratio of 0.34. The split would also create an eastern lot with a lot area of 8,954 square feet, a lot width of 71.64 feet, and a maximum floor area of 2,686 square feet (0.3 FAR). The vacant eastern lot would include a 30 foot setback from Dale Street N, 10 foot side yard setbacks, and a 30 foot rear yard setback (building foot print of 65' x 51.64' - 3,356.6 square feet).
