Planning & Zoning Board Zehowski Minor Subdivision August 14, 2002 ANALYSIS The attached Certificate of Survey shows the proposed division of the 30 -acre parcel. Parcel A, 2.5 acres, contains an existing house and garage, of which 51.7% is upland; Parcel B, 27.5 acres, contains the balance of the property, of which 28.1 % is upland. Land Use & Zoning Location Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site '/2 Low Density, Unsewered Residential; 1/2 Medium Density Residential Rural West Low Density, Unsewered Residential Rural North Low Density, Unsewered Residential & Rural Rural- Executive East Medium Density Residential Rural South Public /Semi- Public (Regional Park across 35W) Public /Semi - Public 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 2.5 -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', and both lots will meet this requirement. In addition, both lots will have full frontage on a road, as required under the Lino Lakes Subdivision Ordinance, Section 1008.08, subdiv. 6, which states that "all lots shall abut for their full frontage on a publically dedicated street." Buildable Area Lino Lakes City Ordinance Section 3, subd. 3.B.1.b requires parcels requiring a minimum of 10 acres or more to have a minimum of 20% upland area. Much of this property is wetland, and as a result, it was necessary for the applicant to delineate wetland boundaries. Results of that delineation indicate that both lots meet the minimum upland requirement, with Parcel A at 51.7% upland and Parcel B at 28.1% upland. Septic Issues Soils tests confirm that there are soils on both the proposed parcels capable of • accommodating a septic system, with enough room for both primary and secondary sites.
