0 PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 4 May 1988 1840 George Reiling Southeasterly of Victoria, Generally Opposite Orchard Lane (see sketch) Approval of Preliminary Plat and Variance to Front Yard Setback 1. Mr. Reiling has owned this property for many years and has made previous inquiry to the DNR and the Corps of Engineers regarding the development of the land. There were some disputes regarding which elevations established various definitions of the shoreline. These problems with the definition have now been resolved and agreed upon by all parties involved and are as indicated on the attached preliminary plat drawing. 2. The City Engineering Staff has visited the site several times with the owner and representatives of the DNR. You will note a line drawn on the preliminary plat indicating the contour of "elevation 886.6 as located by the DNR". This is the line agreed upon by the DNR, the Grass Lake Watershed Group, and the City Engineering Staff and is the line from which the 75 foot building setback will be measured. It is the line where the vegetation changes to aquatic vegetation and generally described as a marsh land. 3. You will note that there are a series of eight lots proposed on the lake shore plus two outlots. Two outlots are unbuildable according to current regulations, one of which is that a structure cannot be built 75 feet back from the "DNR line". 4. You will note that the lots generally range from 82 feet of width at the building line to 91 feet. The distribution of this frontage is somewhat impaired by the fact that the City already has a drainage easement for an existing storm drainage located between Lots 5 and 6. This utility thus limits the extent to which the lot lines can be adjusted. 5. You will also note that there are three lots proposed to be platted on the west side of Victoria Street. These lots are appropriately sized and the appropriate dedication is provided for Orchard Lane and Victoria Street. Twenty feet is required for Orchard Lane since that is the street width standard that has been established for this street further to the west.
