PLANNING REPORT DATE: 4 February 1987 CASE NUMBER: 1726 APPLICANT: Thomas L. St. Martin LOCATION: Northeast Corner of Dale Street and Shryer Avenue (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Preliminary Plat PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Thomas St. Martin proposes to purchase the easterly 100 feet of two 76 foot lots located at the northeast corner of Dale Street and Shryer Avenue. The owners of the two lots effected are Leo P. St. Martin and Donald A. Machgan. 2. Attached is a copy of the proposed division as submitted by the applicant. You will note that the newly created lot will front on Shryer Avenue with 100 feet of frontage and a land area of 15,200 square feet. The remainder of the two original lots, after dedication of 10 additional feet for Dale Street, will be 11,900 square feet with a lot depth of 157 feet. Obviously, the new lot far exceeds the minimum lot standards in both width and lot area, though the new corner lot is below the standard lot width and lot area. 3. The lots in the immediate area of the property are 75 feet in width as indicated on the attached copy of the section map. Obviously, the new lot could be made smaller increasing the depth of the westerly lots. These lots, however, have a depth of 157 feet which is substantially more than the typical 135 foot depth normally considered optimum for a typical Roseville lot developed at ordinance standards. 4. Mr. St. Martin, the applicant, informs us that he proposes to build a house for himself in the newly created lot. The Planning Commission and Council may wish to question the need for the 100 foot lot, though this would not appear to be a significant factor. 5. The applicant is applying for a minor variance for the corner lot because the existing house is 28 feet from the south property line (30 foot required) and the garage is 6 feet from the south property line. You will note that the existing house to the east of the newly created lot is setback 45.3 feet from Shryer Avenue. This would normally require a new house to be constructed on the new lot (Lot 3) and be setback a minimum of 40 feet. The location of the proposed home will be handled as a minor variance. 6. The request is for approval of a Preliminary Plat to which a condition may be added requiring dedication of the 10 foot of right-of-way as proposed.
