PLANNING REPORT DATE: 2 December 1987 CASE NUMBER: 1814 APPLICANT: Duane Lee Knopik LOCATION: Northwest Corner of Shryer Avenue and Dale Street (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Lot Division PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The property in question is a 75 foot lot with a depth of 217 feet running between Shryer Avenue and Skillman Lane. You will notice from viewing the attached copies of portions of Roseville's base map that there are a series of thirteen lots between Dale Street and Alameda, which have frontage on Shryer Avenue and Skillman Avenue to the north. 2. None of these lots have been divided in the past, although, obviously the potential for doing so is there. Some of the homes are accessed from Skillman with garages placed on the northerly portion of the lots. 3. The proposal is to divide the existing lot in half. Therefore, the north -south dimension (the depth) of each lot would be 108.5 feet and the land area for each lot would 8,134.75 square feet. The standard, as you know, for new development on a corner lot in Roseville is a lot width of 100 feet and a lot area of 12,500 square feet. 4. You will note that the existing house will have 14 feet of rear yard if the lot is split as proposed. The house will also be set back 19 feet (to the garage) and 22.5 feet to the southeast corner of the house. Therefore, to expand this house in the future, variances would be ° required before such expansion can occur. 5. You will note from the attached copy of portions of the section map that most of the lots in the area are platted at 75 feet. In those days, corner lots were platted the same as interior lots. This has also been the general pattern in the area. The lot depth will be short at 108.75 feet, but workable. The division of this lot will, of course, set a precedent for the remaining lots in the area. Therefore, a factor in the decision will be the consideration of this option on the part of other land owners with similar lots. It would appear that over an extended period of time, such double frontage lots will be split and developed. As the pressure for available and buildable lots increases, the tendency for such land owners with double frontage lots is to ultimately split the lots and utilize the land more efficiently. The rapid infilling of lots in Roseville in the last decade verify that prospect.
