The property is zoned R-l, Single Family Residential, and the Comprehensive <br />Plan identifies the property as Low Density Residential. Properties located to the west, <br />east, and south are developed with single family homes and are zoned Single Family <br />Residential (R-l). The property located to the north is developed with commercial uses <br />and is zoned General Business District (B-3). <br /> <br />2.2 The existing parcel located at 1323 Burke Avenue consists of five (5) residential lots (Lot <br />16 through 20, Block 2, Midway Hills Rearrangement of Como Garden Lots), a single <br />family residential home, and a detached garage. The parcel has an overall width of <br />196.23 feet and a depth of 133.6 feet encompassing 26,217 square feet. <br /> <br />2.3 The request for a variance is attributed to the required side yard setback between the <br />existing home (five (5) feet) and the property line proposed on the east. Placing the <br />property line at the required five (5) foot setback location leaves a remaining 84.5 feet of <br />width, Y2 a foot short of the required interior lot width of 85 feet. <br /> <br />2.4 The proposal by Mr. Coil creates two (2) parcels. Parcel "A", situated at the comer of <br />Hamline Avenue and Burke Avenue, will have a depth of 133.60 feet, a width of 111.71 <br />feet, and containing 14,928 square feet.
