• PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 3 June 1987 1762 James Herbert House North of Gluek Lane South, Westerly of Fairview Avenue (see sketch) Approval of Lot Split I. Attached is a copy of a section map of the Midway Acres plat as initially platted by the Gluek Brothers back in the early 1950s. You will note that we have shaded Lot 4 which is owned by the applicant, Dr. House. The lot contains 1.77 acres with a frontage on Gluek Lane South of 558 feet. Obviously, however, that frontage is somewhat misleading in the sense that the lot is triangular shaped of which the 558 feet is the longest leg. 2. Dr. House purchased the land in 1975 and has built a large home on the site near the westerly side of the property. He proposes at this time to divide the lot into two lots creating a new building site on approximately the easterly one-third of the property. This lot will have frontage of 290.96 feet with a lot area of 26,318 square feet or 0.60 acres. Enclosed is a drawing illustrating the proposed division of the lot, the existing home of Dr. House, and the outline of a proposed structure to be built on the new site. The drawing illustrates the new home to be constructed 35 feet from the front lot line which, in this case, would be required to be 40 feet since the contiguous house is setback substantially more. This can be changed through the process of a minor variance, though the actual development of the plan may be such that the 40 foot setback requirement can be adhered to. The garage can, in fact, extend 3 feet into the setback requirement line. Therefore, the net setback would be 37 feet. 3. Dr. House has noted to the staff that he has met with all of the owners in the Gluek Lane area and that they react positively to his proposal. It would appear from an aesthetic standpoint that the addition of a house on this site will not have a deleterious impact on the residential area. The vast frontage of this triangular site, as it exists, sets up a considerable distance between the residences. From the community standpoint, the asset is that it provides another fine residential site in Roseville. 4. The Engineering Staff has informed us that a portion of the lot is utilized for storm water storage purposes. The staff notes that this capacity for storage has to be maintained somewhere on the site, though the exact location of the ponding area may be changed.
