AGENDA STEM 7 0" MEMORANDUM TO: Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board FROM: John Miller, City Planner DATE: October 3, 1989 SUBJECT: Request for Minor Subdivision from Brad and Helen Elledge, Application, #89-48. Variance request, Application #89-49. Background: The applicants own a trapezoidal parcel of land located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Lake Drive and Oak Lane. There are however two legal descriptions for the parcel. As the attached certificate of survey shows dwelling, garage, kennel_ and other accessory buildings are located on the west side of the parcel. The entire parcel, which covers an area of approximately two acres, has been offered for sale and a buyer has been found for the western part of the property. However, as the correspondence from Jeff Joyer shows the applicants are requesting to transfer a 25 foot wide strip of land from the eastern legally described parcel to the western parcel. According to Joyer, "The purpose of this request is to eliminate a septic encroachment along the east line and provide a more suitable back yard for the existing home on Tract 1." It would also move the kennel and one accessory building onto the western parcel. In terms of area the eastern or vacant legally described parcel would be reduced in area from 1.18 acres to 1.06 acre. By my calculations (I'm not sure the certificate of survey is accurately prepared), the western legally described parcel would have its area increased from .79 acre to .89 acre. Comprehensive Plan: The 1987 comprehensive plan shows the land planned for expansion residential uses. This includes large --lot unsewered residential uses. It is the intent of the plan however that parcels in this area be utilized in a manner that will not preclude more intense residential development in the future. Zoning/Subdivision/Park Dedication Ordinances: The land is currently located in the city S -R suburban residential zoning
