As shown above, all lots exceed applicable R -1 District lot area and width requirements. New plats (typically those creating three or more new buildable lots) are required to have 11,000 square feet of area. However, since this project is only creating a single additional lot, the standards relating to full plat requirements may be waived. Staff asked the applicants to meet the plat requirements in this case due to the need to located and identify pipeline impacts — the ordinance provides for waiving of certain platting procedures for subdivisions that create no more than one new building site. Setbacks. The following table illustrates required R -1 District setbacks along with those being proposed by the applicant: Required Proposed Lot Area: Interior Corner 10,000 square feet 11,000 square feet 10,670 square feet 25,780 square feet Lot Width: Interior Corner 75 feet 80 feet 90 feet 131 feet As shown above, all lots exceed applicable R -1 District lot area and width requirements.

Setbacks. The following table illustrates required R -1 District setbacks along with those being proposed by the applicant: * 5 foot setback imposed upon homes constructed prior to 6/25/80 As shown on the submitted preliminary plat, three gas pipelines exist within the boulevard area of Viking Boulevard. According to the subdivision ordinance, no lot may be designed that includes any buildable area within fifty (50) feet from the edge of any pipeline easement. The buildable areas depicted upon all lots comply with this requirement. The City also has policy of requiring a 60 foot by 60 foot buildable area in areas affected by pipelines. As noted in the Engineer's report, there is no pipeline easement on this property. Staff has asked the property owner to provide for a setback into his property that would serve as a pipeline setback of more than 50 feet. Even with this standard, the buildable area of the lot exceeds the 3600 square feet recommended by the Pipeline Setback Policy. Easements. As shown on the preliminary plat, a 10 foot wide sewer easement is proposed along the east side of Lot 2. Such easement will accommodate a sewer line extension from County Road B2 to serve proposed Lot 3. No accessory structures will be allowed to be constructed over such easement. 2 Required Proposed Front Yard 30 feet 50 feet Side Yard Corner Lot Interior Lot 30 feet 10 feet* 50 feet 7 feet Rear Yard 30 feet 30 feet * 5 foot setback imposed upon homes constructed prior to 6/25/80 As shown on the submitted preliminary plat, three gas pipelines exist within the boulevard area of Viking Boulevard.
