PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 4 February 1987 1721 LeRoy M. Peickert Northeast Corner of Brenner Avenue and Victoria Street Division of Lot and Variance to Side Yard Setback (see sketch) 1. The applicant's property was originally platted as Lot 8 of Block 2 "Minnesota Realty Owasso Plat". The lot had .82 acres and was the largest lot in the block. 2. The Peickert's have built a home on the westerly portion of the lot and now propose to divide the property to create an additional lot to the east. Attached is a drawing that illustrates the total property, as well as the lot division. The drawing also indicates the location of the home. 3. You will note that the two parcels indicated as tract "A" and "B" have 18,991 square feet and 16,740 square feet, respectively. The lot frontage for the corner lot is 106.94 feet and the frontage for the easterly lot (interior lot) is approximately 95 feet. Thus, both lots exceed the minimum frontage and lot area standards. 4. Attached is a copy of a portion of the section map indicating this property and the lots in the immediate area. A few years ago, Lots 9, 10, 11, and 12 were rearranged so as to create an additional lot contiguous to this property to the east. Though this division was approved by the City, a final plat for this re -plat was not done. You will notice on this same section map further to the east a new re -plat labeled "Reiling-Owasso Heights" which was similarly approved as a redivision of the land was filed as a final plat. When such plats are filed, they are added to the County Section Map from which the City's maps are printed. 5. Because these properties in this area were platted prior to May 1959, when the new ordinance was adopted, this area requires a 5 foot setback for side lot line. When land is redivided, the current 10 foot setback applies. In this case, the applicant is applying for approval of a 5 foot setback on the east side of the existing house. This was done to maximize the size of the easterly lot and, thus, create a more buildable, useful lot. It would appear that this is a reasonable idea. 6. In summary, the applicant is applying for approval of a lot division as proposed in his drawing dated December 9, 1986, and for approval of a side yard setback variance from 10 feet to 7.5 feet.
