FROM: Sophia Jensen, City Planner
AGENDA ITEM: Variances and Lot Division —10997 32nd Street North
INTRODUCTION:
David Schomokel and Sarah Johnson (the `Applicants') have submitted a variance and lot
division application for the property located at 10997 32" d Street North (the `Property'). The
property was originally platted as lot 9 and lot 10 of Lake Elmo Park in 1911 and was
consolidated into one lot by prior owners. The property is currently under split ownership with
two primary dwellings and separate utility stubs (sewer and water). The applicants are looking to
split the property back to Lot 9 and Lot 10 for ownership purposes. City Staff is generally
supportive of this request since two dwelling units on a single property is prohibited in the rural
single family (RS) zoning district.
Below is a table of the variances are required for this lot division:

Applicable Regulations:
Article V - Zoning Administration and Enforcement
Article XI — Rural Districts
Article XIX — Shoreland Overlay District
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS/DRAFT FINDINGS:
An applicant must establish and demonstrate compliance with the variance criteria set forth in
Lake Elmo City Code Section 105.12.320 before the City may grant an exception or
modification to city code requirements. These criteria are listed below, along with comments
from Staff about the applicability of these criteria to the applicant's request.
1) Practical Difficulties. A variance to the provision of this chapter may be granted by the
Board of Adjustment upon the application by the owner of the affected property where the
strict enforcement of this chapter would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances
unique to the individual property under consideration and then only when it is demonstrated
that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this chapter. Definition of
practical difficulties - "Practical difficulties" as used in connection with the granting of a
variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner
not permitted by an official control.
FINDINGS: The applicants are proposing to split the property and maintain the single -
Family dwelling unit on each lot. The property already has separate utility stubs and access
points. Dividing the lot would make the property consistent to how it was originally platted
as Lot 9 and .Lot 10 of.Lake Elmo Park and clarify ownership.
2) Unique Circumstances. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the
property not created by the landowner.
FINDJNGS. The current property owners did not consolidate the parcels. Dural Single
Family (RS) zoning does not permit two primary dwelling units on a single parcel. By
dividing the lots, the applicant would be making the parcel more conforming with the R S
zoning district.
3) Character of Locality. The proposed variance will not alter the essential character of the
locality in which the property in question is located.
FINDINGS: No construction or alteration of structures is proposed with this request. Since
the proposal is adding a single property line, the essential character should not be negatively
impacted.
4) Adjacent Properties and Traffic. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to properties adjacent to the property in question or substantially
increase the congestion of the public streets or substantially diminish or impair property
values within the neighborhood.
.FINDINGS: The property is to remain in two single family dwelling units. The variances
should not negatively impair adjacent properties, property values, or increase congestion on
the public street.
3

the request meets the four requirements outlined below:
1. The proposed lots are at least 66% of the lot area and width requirements.

2. A. Current property owners are: David R. Schmoeckel and Sarah P. Johnson
We inherited the property from Roy & Betty Schmoeckel.
B. Legal Description: Lots Nine (9) and Ten (10), Block One (1) of LAKE ELMO PARK
Parcel #13.029.21.33.0027
Parcel size: Lot 9: 17,368 sq.ft. 0.399 Acres
Lot: 10 16,961 sq.ft. 0.389 Acres
Use: Residential Non -Homestead Zoned: Residential
C. Seeking a variance for:
Lot 9:
Variance for House Side Yard Setback 105.12.630 Table 9-2
Variance for Accessory Side Yard Setback 105.12.630 Table 9-2
Variance for Lot Area 105.12.1260 Table 17-3
Variance for Lot Width 105.12.1260 Table 17-3
Lot 10:
Variance for Lot Area 105.12.1260 Table 17-3
Variance for Lot Width 105.12.1260 Table 17-3
D. Proposed Variance:
Lot 9:
Side Yard Setback is 5.5 feet and should be 10 feet
Accessory Side Yard Setback is 3.1 feet and should be 10 feet
Lot Area is 17,368 sq.ft. and should be 20,000 sq.ft.
Lot Width is 60.88 and should be 75 ft.
Lot 10:
Lot Area is 16,961 sq.ft. and should be 20,000 sq. ft.
Lot Width is 59.87 and should be 75 ft.
E. We met with Sophia Jenson on January 29, 2024 to get applications and discuss our
request for a variance. She also emailed us additional information on January 30.
F. This situation is unique in that it is one parcel with 2 single-family houses, each with
separate city water and sewer. A lot division would allow each owner to maintain their own
house. David would own the house on lot 9 and Sarah would own the house on lot 10.
G. The current owner did not combine the lots.
H. (a) Granting of the variances and lot division would not physically change the property.
The only change would be to a property line between lots 9 & 10. No buildings would change.
Each lot would be the same size as originally platted, the approximate same size as the majority
of the adjacent lake lots.
(b) Also, the change would not encroach on neighboring properties or affect traffic or the
essential character of the neighborhood because the use would not change.

Hi Sophia,
The "Variance and Lot Division: David Schmoecket and Sarah Johnson" project requires a
VBWD permit. AIL subdivisions, plats, developments, and lot -line modifications require VBWD
It appears the current request for the properties at Clear Lake are for re -zoning. Re -zoning does not
require aVBVVD permit. However, the submitted narrative discusses constructing a "postpartum
care center." That activity might require aVAVVDpermit. The applicant should beaware that
several, possibly all, of the existing structures on parcel 820292133000I are within the FEMA-
mapped1OO-yearf|nodinundotionareanfC|eorLake. V8VVDrequires the minimum floor elevation
of new structures to be at least 2 feet higher than the adjacent water's 100-year flood level.

Re: Variance and Lot Division
10997 32nd Street North
Variance: David Schmoeckel and Sarah Johnson have submitted variance and lot division application to split the
property located at 10997 32nd Street North. The request would split the lots back to how they were originally
platted, Lot 9 and Lot 10 of Lake Elmo Park. The variances are required due to the existing structure setbacks and
lot dimensions.
1. Sanitary sewer and watermain services have been recently installed as part of the Old Village Phase 5 and
6 Improvements. A dedicated sewer and water service is currently in place to serve each of the future Lots
9 and 10. There are no concerns regarding these services as part of this lot split.
2. Private water/sewer services are not shown for each Lot. Lot Division Approval should be conditioned on
the private water/sewer services for each Lot, connecting from the House to the public right-of-way, being
aligned entirely on each respective lot, or private easements must be exchanged between Lots 9 and 10 to
ensure each lot retains full rights and access to its utility services.
3. Lot easements have been shown for both Lots, providing 10 ft. drainage and utility easements as required
along 32nd Street, and 5 ft. side yard easements.
➢ The Lot 9 existing garage encroaches the side yard easement, leaving an effective side yard easement
of only 3.1 ft. It is recommended that additional easement be provided on Lot 10 to provide a total
combined side yard easement of 10 ft, or the Lot lines should be redrawn (use of flag lot, etc.) to ensure
a total combined 10 ft side yard easement free from encroachments.
4. Existing conditions show a U-shaped driveway passing though from Lot 9 to Lot 10. Lot Division Approval
should be conditioned on the removal of the U-shaped driveway, disconnecting Lots 9 and 10. It is further
recommended that Lot 10 be required to remove the secondary driveway curb cut to 32nd Street.
