PLANNING REPORT northwest Essociated consultants, inc. gETEMI JUL 6 1981 CITY pF T0: Little Canada Planning Commission LITiLECANADA FROM: Michelle Hren /David Licht DATE: 2 July 1987 RE: Little Canada - Richard's Point Subdivision (Cocchiarella) FILE NO: 758.09 - 87.41 BACKGROUND Mr. and Mrs. Mario Cocchiarella, the applicants, have requested a subdivision lot split for a vacant lot on the shore of Gervais Lake. Please refer to the attach- ments. The applicant is proposing to purchase this portion of lot 45 from Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Lepsche. This transaction is contingent upon lot split approval as shown on Attachment C, property deed. The property is zoned R -1, Single Family and as shown on the location map, the pro- perty is within the Shoreland District. The Shoreland District is super- imposed upon all zoning districts as contained. The regulations and requirements imposed by the Shoreland District shall be in addition to those established for districts which jointly apply. Under the joint application of districts, the more restrictive requirements shall apply. The property abuts the water, therefore the sewered- abutting requirements of the Shoreland District apply. The lakes in the area are classified General Development. As the lot to be created is grossly substandard from area requirements a variance for a nonconforming lot is also required. SUBDIVISION The lot that is proposed to be split is 600 square feet in area. The lot is approxi- mately 40 feet in width; 20 feet will go to the applicant and 20 feet to the Lepsche's. The applicant and the Lepsche's will each take half. The minimum lot requirements are as follows: lot area above OHWM is 15,000 square feet and the minimum lot width required is 75 feet. The existing lot is substandard as the area is 600 square feet and the lot width is 40 feet. A lot split would increase the substandard deficiency of this lot. Currently, the lot is not a buildable lot as the building setbacks required would be nearly impossible to meet. Page 29 4601 excelsior blvd., ste. 410, minneapolis, mn 55416 (612) 925 -9420
