2.4 The Ramsey County Assessor's office lists the size of this parcel as 67' x 285' (19,085 square feet); however, the City of Roseville's maps show the size of this parcel as 71.64' x 231.5' (16,585 square feet). The difference in size can be attributed to roadway easements for Alta Vista Drive N and Dale Street N, as well as a utility easement along the southern property line. The 16,585 square foot measurement is the actual size of the buildable portion of the lot, without the area taken by the roadway easements for Alta Vista Drive N and Dale Street N. 2.5 A utility easement is located along the southern ten feet of this parcel. This easement was conveyed to the City in 1986 in conjunction with Project 85-03-1 and contains a six inch water main. 2.6 Sanitary sewer is not available in Dale Street N; therefore, sanitary sewer service would need to be extended across the westerly parcel from Alta Vista Drive N to the easterly parcel. The elevation of Alta Vista Drive is approximately 920 feet, while the elevation of Dale Street N is approximately 910 feet. The sanitary sewer in Alta Vista Drive is also at :1:910 feet, so a grinder and pump will be needed in order to service the new lot. A ten foot wide sanitary sewer easement will also be required along the northern edge of the western lot. Water is available in Dale Street Nand can be extended to service the new lot. 2.7 Concerns have been expressed regarding the soils in the area. It appears that a ravine was located along the eastern portion of the lot in the past and was filled in conjunction with the development of Dale Street. The quality of fill in this area is questionable, as the property owner to the north had to undertake substantial soil correction activities prior to constructing the dwelling on the lot. 2.8 A driveway onto Dale Street N will need to be approved by Ramsey County, since Dale Street N is a county road with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. 2.9 The Planning Commission tabled action on this request at the July and August meetings to allow the applicant additional time to provide the requested additional information. Since this information was not provided, the Planning Commission acted on the request at the September meeting. 2.10 Section 1004.020, City Code, requires a minimum lot area of 11,000 square feet, a minimum lot width of 85 feet, and a maximum floor area ratio of 0.3 for interior lots in an R1 zoning district. Section 1013.02 outlines the criteria and procedure for considering a variance. Section 11 04.04E outlines the procedure and requirements for a minor subdivision. If the variance is approved, the parcel will be split into two parcels in accordance with the provisions of this section.
