REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 04/22/02 ITEM NO: VIII. B. Agenda Section: CONSENT A request by Paul King for a Minor Subdivision (Re-combination) to modify an existing property line between Lots 16 ,17,18 Garcelon's Addition, Block 1, 1938 Lake Street (PF3375). 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION 1.1 Mr. Paul King, property owner at 1938 Lake Street has requested the City Council approval of a "Recombination" of three existing lots into two lots, one with an existing house, and the remaining lot for a new home. The lots are zoned "R-l" Single Family and the Comprehensive Plan designates the lots for "LDR" - Low Density Residential. 1.2 Section 1104.04B reads: Recombination: To divide one recorded lot or parcel in order to permit the adding of a parcel of land to an abutting lot and create two (2) buildable parcels, the proposed subdivision, in sketch plan form, shall be submitted to the City Council for approval. No hearing or Planning Commission review is necessary unless the proposal is referred to the Commission by the Community Development Director for clarification. The proposed recombination shall not cause any portion of the existing lots or parcels to be in violation ofthis regulation or the zoning code. Within thirty (30) days after approval by the City Council, the applicant shall supply a certificate of survey to the Community Development Director and City Manager for review and approval. After completion of the review and approval by the Community Development Director and City Manager, the applicant shall record the survey with the Ramsey County Recorder within sixty (60) days after approval by the City Manager. 1.3 The staff suggested that the setback between the existing home and the new property line be seven feet wide versus the proposed ten feet. The purpose of this lot line change is to create a wider lot (65 feet wide) onto which a new home could be constructed. It should be noted that the City Code allows structures in this area of Roseville to be a minimum of five feet from a property line; this distance is too close on this lot with woods and steep rear slopes. The staff recommended to the applicant to create a 65-foot wide parcel and an 85-foot wide parcel and determine the storm water pond outlet elevation. 1.4 The staff determined that the pond in the rear yard is a storm water pond for which any structure must be set back a minimum of 20 feet. Further, any structure constructed must have a lowest floor elevation a minimum of two feet above the pond outlet. PF3375 ReA (042202).doc2
