The subject site is presently accessed from the south via Australian Avenue. <br />Access to the existing home would remain unchanged. To accommodate development <br />upon proposed Parcel B however, access must be provided from the north via County <br />Road C. <br />Recognizing that numerous homes in the area are provided direct lot access to County <br />Road C, Ramsey County representatives have indicated that they will conditionally <br />allow a new access to proposed Parcel B. The County has stipulated that such access <br />will only be allowed if a driveway turnaround area is provided to eliminate vehicles from <br />backing onto the County Road. <br />The future driveway access to Parcel B will be required to meet applicable curb cut <br />requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance. The Ordinance requires all curb cuts to <br />be located a minimum of five feet from side lot lines and not exceed 24 feet in width. <br />Lot Requirements and Setbacks. According to the Ordinance, lots platted (created) <br />after March 1, 2008 are subject to a different set of lot requirements than those lots <br />platted prior to such date. Such standards impose greater lot areas, widths and setback <br />requirements than lots created prior to such date. As shown below, Parcels A and B <br />both meet applicable minimum lot area and width requirements of the R -1 District (for <br />lots created after March 1, 2008). Further, Parcel B demonstrates an ability to meet <br />applicable setback requirements. <br />As previously noted, Parcel C is proposed to be conveyed to the adjacent parcel to the <br />west (107 Australian Avenue). Such conveyance is considered positive by improving <br />the configuration of the adjacent westerly lot. <br />Easements.
