Under R -1X District establishments, minimum lot size shall be no less than 12,825 square feet of buildable land. Buildable land is defined as, land area occurring within the property lines of parcel or lot excluding drainage ways, wetlands, water bodies, parklands, easements, road rights -of -way, and slopes in excess of 18 percent. The applicant has proposed lots no less than 14,718 square feet, therefore, the minimum lot size is satisfied. Lot Width. The West Shadow Pond Preliminary Plat indicates that the minimum lot width of 90 feet will be satisfied. Lot Depth. The R -1X District requires a minimum lot depth of 135 feet. The subject development is allowing lot depths of at least 150 feet, thus satisfying the zoning requirements. Setbacks. The required setbacks established in the R -1 X District are 40 feet (front yard), 30 feet (rear yard), and 10 feet (side yard). The lots have adequate dimensions to meet required setbacks. Pond and Wetland areas will mandate a significant setback between the proposed building sites and adjoining homes in Colonial Woods. Lot & Block. The applicant has submitted plans to be considered for land subdivision. The Lino Lakes Subdivision Ordinance states that block length shall be no more than 1,500 feet and no Tess than 400 feet. The proposed length of Block 1 is 1,362.28 feet, according to the sum of the lot frontages at the street line. With the inclusion of Lot 1, Block 5 the total length may exceed the 1,500 foot limit. However, the wetlands to the east and west mandate the proposed block configuration. Street Design. When the Concept Plan was submitted the proposed extension of West Shadow Lake Road was to end in a cul-de -sac at the south end near 62nd Street. The applicant has since modified the plans to extend the street through to 62nd Street. Sixty- 3
