NFAC MEMORANDUM NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN MARKET RESEARCH TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: July 2, 1999 RE: Little Canada - Thul Subdivision /Lot Combination. ALE NO: 758.09 - 99.20 Mr. Rick Thul has requested approval of a subdivision of property from his neighbor's lot to be added to the rear of the Thul property at 165 Viking Drive. The additional nine feet would result in a setback from the existing accessory building in the rear portion of the Thul property of 30.9 feet. This dimension would then meet the required rear setback for principal buildings in the R -1 zoning district applicable to this parcel. The survey which has been submitted illustrates a 9 foot deep by 90 foot wide strip of land which would be separated from the parcel to the north of the applicant's property, and which would then be added to the Thul property concurrent to the subdivision. This process is allowed under the Subdivision Ordinance without the typical plat procedure since it creates no new buildable parcels. The survey does not identify the location of structures on the north parcel. The subdivision /lot combination would appear to meet all of the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances if it can be verified that the north parcel will continue to meet all of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance with regard to lot area and setbacks of any buildings. A visual inspection indicates that the north lot should easily comply. The County 1/2 section maps show the north parcel to be predominantly wetland, with limited access and no building. Subject to a final confirmation of this information, the Subdivision /Lot Combination appears to be in conformance with the City's requirements for such subdivisions. 5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, S Page 90 IS PARK, MINNESOTA 554.16 PHONE 6 1 2-55 :- 595-9837
