Planning & Zoning Board October 9, 2002 Page 4 APPROVED MINUTES Ms. Lane made a MOTION to approve Raymond Chavez, 6207 Laurene Avenue, Minor Subdivision, subject to staff’s recommendations and conditions as outlined in staff’s report. The motion was supported by Mr. Rafferty. Motion carried 6-0. B.Dennis Lipoff, 62XX Laurene Avenue, Site Plan Review Staff stated Dennis Lipoff has applied for a Site Plan Review for the relocation of a single-story, 1,550 sq. ft. (62’ X 25’) house on to the proposed new lot of Mr. Chavez (Agenda item 5A). The house is currently sited at 1475 Main Street in Centerville on land which has been purchased for development. The house currently exists with a tuck- under garage, but Mr. Lipoff plans to constr uct a new 23’ X 33’ attached garage, thus creating a rambler-style home. Staff stated the lot is a corner lot, whic h would allow for orie nting the house to two possible streets. The Lino Lakes City Ordi nance, however, defines lot frontage as “the narrowest lot boundary abutting a public st reet that meets minimum lot width requirements.” Such a definition would th us designate the frontage along White Pine Road as the official, technical front lot line, rather than the frontage along Laurene Avenue. The applicant, however, proposes to orient the house and driveway toward Laurene Avenue. It should be noted that while such an or ientation may change what is perceived as the “functioning, practical” frontages, such an orientation does not change, or supercede, what the frontages ar e defined as under City Ordinance. Staff stated the western lot line of the prope rty would NOT be the rear yard lot line, but rather the side yard lot line. The followi ng chart specifies the pr operty boundary lines, as they are identified under th e definitions within the Lino Lakes City Ordinance: Staff stated access to the site will be via a driveway off Laurene Avenue, which is classed as a minor collector street und er the Lino Lakes Transportati on Plan. In addition, Section 3, subdiv. 5.C.8.f states that “no curb cut/dri veway access shall be located less than 30 feet from the intersection of tw o or more street rights-of-way.” Staff indicated City sanitary sewer and City water are available to the site, and the applicant will be servicing the site with both. Staff stated the proposed 1,550 sq.ft. house is currently sited at 1475 Main Street (Co. Rd. 14) in Centerville, on property due to be developed. The house will be moved without the tuck-under gara ge. It is the intention of the a pplicant to relocate the structure, put a new roof on, build a new 23’ X 33’ att ached double garage, and side both house and garage (to include an ap ron of brick or stone). Staff noted building official Pete Kluegel has inspected the house and found it to be structurally sound, estimating it to be appr oximately 40 years old. He notes that, in
