NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor <br />and City Council <br />FROM: Brad Nielsen <br />DATE: 30 April 1982 <br />RE: Riley's Gervais Lake, 2nd Addition - Preliminary Plat <br />FILE NO: 758.09 (82.12) <br />BACKGROUND <br />Mr. Ray Kroiss has requested approval of a preliminary plat to subdivide his <br />property located at the northeast quadrant of Edgerton Street and County Road <br />B -2 (see Site Location Map, attached). The property contains approximately <br />2.18 acres in size, is zoned R -1 and is currently occupied by one single <br />family home. Surrounding development is as follows: <br />North - County Park and beach <br />East and South - Single family residential <br />West - Church property and single family residential <br />Mr. Kroiss proposes to divide the site into four lots including one with the <br />existing house. The division is shown on Exhibit B, attached. Proposed lot <br />sizes are as follows: <br />Lot 1 - 22,000 square feet <br />Lot .2 - 10,800 square feet <br />Lot 3 - 26,000 square feet <br />Lot 4 - 38,000 square feet <br />ISSUES AND ANALYSIS <br />Based upon review of the proposed plat and the Little Canada Zoning and Sub- <br />division Ordinances, the following issues are raised: <br />A. Lot Configuration. At first glance the preliminary plat proposes a rather <br />odd lot arrangement. Upon closer review, however, it becomes evident that <br />the lot configurations are the result of a number of development factors <br />existing on the site. Lot 1 is formed primarily by the north and west <br />property boundaries plus an existing drainage easement. The rear line of <br />Lots 2 and 3 are located where the site drops off steeply toward the lake. <br />The lot line between Lots 2 and 3 provides the existing house with conforming <br />setbacks. Lot 4 takes up the remainder of the site including the lake- <br />shore frontage. <br />4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925 -9420 <br />f)6 <br />
