Consideration of Resolution No. 02-152, Site and Building Plan Review, Lipoff, Tanda Gretz - Associate Planner Gretz explained that agenda item 7D is a Site Plan Review for a relocated structure, to be placed on the lot created by the previous agenda item, the Chavez Minor Subdivision. The applicant is Dennis Lipoff, who plans to move a house previously located in Centerville onto the lot. The proposed house is 62' by 25', or 1,550 sq. ft. in size. It was previously sited with a tuck -under garage, but the applicant plans to build a 23' by 33' attached garage onto the house, to create a rambler -style home. Associate Planner Gretz stated the proposed site is a corner lot, situated at Laurene Avenue and White Pine Road. Since both streets, at this location, are shown as Minor Collector streets on the City's Transportation Plan, the proposed house and garage would have street setbacks of. 40 feet. The applicant plans to orient the house facing Laurene Avenue, with the driveway letting out to Laurene as well. Associate Planner Gretz stated it should be noted for future 'reference, however, that while the house would face, or front, Laurene Avenue, the front lot line ofthe property is actually identified as that fronting White Pine Road. This is because, according to definitions outlined in the City Zoning Ordinance, the front lot line is defined as "the narrowest lot boundary abutting a public street that meets minimum lot width requirements." Both the proposed house and garage meet all required setbacks. There is City sanitary sewer and water available to the site, and the applicant will connect to both. Associate Planner Gretz stated the proposed building is estimated to be approximately 40 years old, according to Building Official Pete Kluegel, and structurally sound. The applicant intends to relocate the house, put on a new roof,andotlhouse and new attached garage with an apron of brick or stone. In addition, Pete Kluegel reports that the house will need upgrades to plumbing and heating, which the applicant intends to do. All such matters will be handled as building inspection matters, through the City permitting process. Associate Planner Gretz explained that placement of the proposed house appears to meet all site and lot requirements, as specified under the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance. As a result, staff would recommend approval of the Site Plan with the following conditions: 1. The necessary minor subdivision must be completed and recorded with Anoka County prior to moving the house onto the lot. 2. All necessary building permits must be pulled. Councilmember Dahl moved to adopt Resolution No. 02-152, Approving a Site Plan Review for a Relocated Structure, to be located on the 62XX Block of Laurene Avenue, subject to the two conditions as presented by staff. Councilmember Carlson seconded the motion. 14
