<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Little Canada Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Associate Planner <br /> <br />DATE: April 6, 2018 <br /> <br />RE: 2320 Preserve Trail and 475 Viking Drive – Simple Subdivision <br /> <br />Background <br />Steve Brausen has requested a simple subdivision to create a new single family residential lot between <br />the two properties at 2320 Preserve Trail and 475 Viking Drive. The applicant owns both of these <br />parcels. The parcel at 2320 Preserve Trail has double street frontage on Viking Drive and Preserve <br />Trail. The applicant plans to section off the portion of land with frontage along Viking Drive and shift <br />the side yard lot line at 475 Viking Drive in order to create the new parcel from these two existing lots. <br /> <br />Mr. Brausen has indicated that he plans to build a single family residential home on this new lot. The <br />property at 475 Viking Drive is a rental property for Mr. Brausen and staff believes that use will <br />continue. <br /> <br />Analysis <br />Zoning/Land Use. The subject sites are zoned R-1, Single Family Residential which lists “single <br />family dwellings” as permitted uses. The proposal to subdivide the parcels in order to create one new <br />single family residential buildable lot is consistent with applicable zoning code requirements. <br /> <br />Lot Area and Width. The following table illustrates required R-1 District lot area and width <br />requirements along with those being proposed by the applicant: <br /> <br /> Required Lot A – 2320 <br />Preserve Trail <br />Lot B – 475 <br />Viking Drive <br />Lot C - new <br />Lot Area: <br />Interior <br />10,000 sq. ft. 36,522 sq. ft. <br /> <br />12,412 sq. ft. <br /> <br />11,750 sq. ft. <br />Lot Width: <br />Interior <br />75 ft. 226 ft. <br /> <br />125 ft. <br /> <br />120 ft. <br /> <br />As shown above, all three lots comply with applicable R-1 District lot area and width requirements. <br /> <br />Setbacks. As previously indicated, the applicant plans to build a new single family residential dwelling <br />on Parcel C, but no definite plans/drawings were submitted with the application. The survey submitted <br />does show a hypothetical building pad on Parcel C that meets setback requirements for the R-1 <br />District. It would be staff’s recommendation that approval of the lot split be subject to any future plans <br />for Parcel C are to be in compliance with R-1 standards for setback requirements at the time of <br />construction. The table below shows the current code requirements for the newly created lot. <br /> <br />
