AGENDA ITEM 5 B STAFF ORIGINATOR Mary Kay Wyland DATE August 8, 1995 TOPIC 95-26-S, Carl Buechler, 6974 Lake Drivb, Site Plan Review to Move House into City .................................................. ................................................... BACKGROUND Mr. Buechler is requesting a site plan review to move a home from 1 Willow Road in North Oaks onto a site at 6974 Lake Drive (two lots south of the Surfside Seaplan Base). According to Sec. 14, Subd. 23 Relocated Structures "Before any house or other structure is moved onto a vacant lot, the Planning & Zoning Board shall report to the City Council whether the structure will be compatible with other development in the area, and conform to all city codes and ordinances..." The property in question is Zoned R-1 and indicated as residential on the City's Land Use Map. The proposed dwelling can be located on the lot so as to conform to the setback requirements of the Zoning District and our Shoreland Management Ordinance. The structure will be located on the lot to blend with the adjacent homes. In relation to the adjacent homes, the structure to be moved in appears to be of equal or greater value. Sewer and water are not currently available to serve the property and the homeowner has petition the City for an extension of utilities. A cost has not been determined at this time, however, it may be prohibitive. If the extension of utilities is not possible, a location for an on- site system has been identified on the site plan. This location will have to be confirmed by a certified septic system designer and presented to the City Engineer for his review and approval prior to issuance of any building permits. The Building Official has inspected the dwelling to be relocated and indicates that it is approximately 25 years old with a new cedar shake roof. The electrical and mechanical systems are up to code. Staff would recommend approval of this request with the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to construction. 2. Sewer and water utilities be extended to serve the site or an on-site system be designed by an authorized septic system designer and approved by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of any building permits. 3. The new dwelling shall be located on the lot so as to blend with the adjoining residential homes and conform to all setback requirements.
