City Council Meeting Lindahl Minor Subdivision & Variance September 23, 2002 been advised that splitting off one acre with the homestead to provide an additional building site would probably not be recommended in this case." This review is based on the following attached exhibits: 1. General Location Map 2. Minutes from November 24, 1997 City Council meeting 3. Minutes from November 12, 1997 Planning & Zoning meeting 4. Certificate of Survey, dated July 10, 2002 5. "Marked Up" Certificate of Survey, dated December 8, 1997 ANALYSIS The attached Certificate of Survey shows the proposed division of the 11 -acre parcel. Tract B, one acre, contains the Lindahl home and outbuildings, of which .89 acres are upland; Tract A, ten acres, contains the balance of the property, of which four acres are upland. Land Use & Zoning Location Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site Low Density, Unsewered Residential Rural West 44 Rural North Rural East Rural South (North Oaks) (North Oaks) Minimum Lot Requirements Size: the minimum lot size for property in a Rural zone is ten acres. The proposed newly created lot would meet this requirement, with the balance of the property consisting of the one -acre parcel, as allowed under Section 3, subd.3.A.2.b.2. Width: the minimum lot width for property in a Rural zone is 330 feet. Lot width is defined as "the horizontal distance between the side lot line of a lot measured at the building setback line and parallel to the front lot line." Additionally, the Lino Lakes Subdivision Ordinance, Section 1001.08, subdiv. 6, requires that "all lots shall abut for their full frontage on a publically dedicated street." Tract B at 155 feet, does not meet the minimum lot width requirement, and, as a result, the applicant is asking for a Variance. With less than the required 330' of lot width, then, Tract B also does not fulfill the requirement of having full frontage on a road. 2
