MEMO <br />(April 20, 2006 for the Meeting of April 24, 2006) <br />To: Lake Elmo Pi ng Commission <br />From: Ch k ' d . <br />Subject: Setbacks in the RR Zoning District <br />At its April 11, 2006 Workshop the City Council was asked to consider amending the RR <br />district standards to substitute setback standards equivalent to those now found in the RE <br />district. Council members observed both that the RE standards are more current than the <br />RR standards and that it seemed logical that the 10 acre parcels of RR should have <br />setback standards at least as great as those of the 2.5 acre parcels of the RE zone. A <br />comparison of the current standards follows <br />Standard <br />RR <br />RE <br />Lot Width <br />300 feet <br />150 feet <br />Front (Street) Setback <br />30 feet <br />100 feet <br />Side Setback <br />10 feet <br />50 feet <br />Rear Setback <br />40 feet <br />100 feet <br />Arterial Street Setback <br />50 feet <br />150 feet <br />In both cases the setbacks for accessory structures are the same as for principal structures. <br />Staff requests the Commission's direction regarding proceeding with any amendments to <br />RR district standards; and, if so, which standards should be considered for amendment. A <br />Notice of Hearing will be required. This will not be able to be heard by the Commission <br />until the meeting of May15, if so directed. <br />
