COUNCIL MINUTES • 4. Certificate of Survey, dated July 10, 2002 5. "Marked Up" Certificate of Survey, dated December 8, 1997 • OCTOBER 14, 2002 The attached Certificate of Survey shows the proposed division of the 11 -acre parcel. Tract B, one acre, contains the Lindahl home and outbuildings, of which .89 acres are upland; Tract A, ten acres, contains the balance of the property, of which four acres are upland. Land Use & Zoning Location Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site West Low Density, Unsewered Residential CC Rural Rural North East Rural Rural,, South Minimum Lot Requirements Size: the minimum lot size for property in a Rural zonis ten acres. Proposed Tract A would meet this requirement, with the balance of the property,Tract 3, consisting of the one -acre parcel containing the existing homestead buildings, as all- 'tinder Section 3, subd.3.A.2.b.2. (North Oaks) (North Oaks) Width: the minimum lot width for propert r .Ru al zone is 330 feet. The existing property only has 611 feet of frontage along County ".1" (Ash Street). As such, the property cannot be subdivided and meet the required minimum frontagefor both lots. Tract A is an irregularly shaped ("C-shaped") lot that does meet the minimum lot width requirements, although it is not contiguous width/r frontage. Rather, the lot wraps around the one acre parcel, with 269 feet to the west of the one acre parcel and 188 feet to the east of the one acre parcel. Tract B is being created under the homestead clause, as noted above, which allows property of a size under the minimum requirements. As a result, Tract B, measuring 155 feet in width, does not conform to minimum width requirements, and the applicant is asking for a Variance. Even if the applicant had the required 330 feet of lot width, the allowable one -acre parcel would then only provide a lot depth of 132 feet. The typical minimum lot depth is 135 feet for residential lots. 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. Both parcels meet this requirement, with Tract A containing four acres of upland (this upland exists as "islands" among wetland areas), and Tract B almost entirely composed of upland. 7
