• AGENDA ITEM 5D STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson MEETING DATE: October 11, 2006 TOPIC: Variance Request Lot Area, Lot Width, Lot Depth and Road Frontage requirements St. Paul Regional Water Services BACKGROUND St. Paul Regional Water Services has requested approval of variances for required road frontage, minimum lot area, minimum lot depth, and minimum lot width to allow the division of the subject sites by a future administrative minor subdivision. The attached location map designates the sites as parcels 1— 4, and 16 on Peltier Lake and parcels 6, 14, and 15 on Centerville Lake, and these designations will be used throughout this report to differentiate the sites. The city granted similar variances for other St. Paul Regional Water Service's parcels in 2004. The intention of the application is to allow the shoreland parcels to be divided in the future (via minor subdivision) and sold to adjacent property owners for combination into existing parcels. Additionally, the City of Centerville is purchasing a portion of the land within parcel 14 for park development. •ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan, Land Use and Zoning: The table below identifies the existing land use and zoning as well as guided land uses for the area.

This request will likely be heard at the November Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
