• • P & Z Meeting Lipoff Site Plan Review October 9, 2002 ANALYSIS Land Use & Zoning The following chart identifies the existing land use and zoning surrounding the proposed site: Location Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site Low Density, Unsewered Residential R -1 (Residential Single Family) West Park " North Low Density, Unsewered Residential " East " " South Low Density, Sewered Residential R -1X (Residential Single Family Executive) Setbacks The following chart identifies the required setbacks for property located in an R -1 zone, as well as the proposed setbacks for the Lipoff house: R -1 Regulations Required Setbacks Proposed Setbacks From Street 40' (from a minor collector street) 40' Side Yard 10' principle building 5' accessory building Must meet minimums Rear Yard 30' principle building 5' accessory building Must meet minimums Lot Configuration The lot is a corner lot, which would allow for orienting the house to two possible streets. The Lino Lakes City Ordinance, however, defines lot frontage as "the narrowest lot boundary abutting a public street that meets minimum lot width requirements." Such a definition would thus 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 orientation may change what is perceived as the "functioning, practical" frontages, such an orientation does not change, or supercede, what the frontages are defined as under City Ordinance.
