Hugo, MN PID 31 -031-21-43-0001 On behalf of Dan May and the Drengsons, we are asking for a variance from the minimum lot width requirement as stated in the R-1 Large Lot Single-Family Residential code. The current resident owner of the 12165 Everton Ave 5.37 acre property has chosen to subdivide his property into two separate parcels, selling 4.37 acres and retaining his home on 1.0 acre. As the buyers, we are seeking to split the 4.37 acres into two 2+ acre lots. However, due to the unique shape and position of the property, and the current owner’s desire to retain his home on the acre which fronts Everton Ave, in purchasing the 4.37 acres, we are left with two access points. One point of entry is on the northern boundary where the lot adjoins Everton Ave. with a frontage of 30ft. The second is the southern point of entry where the lot adjoins 121st with a proposed frontage of 36.6ft. Requirement Requested Deviation Minimum Lot Width at Front Setback Line 150ft Lot 9: 30ft Lot 8: 36.6ft We recognize the deviations from the standard are significant, however, considering the unique position and accessibility, we have come to find this is the most logical and certainly the most nature-preserving method of access to these lots. In being granted this variation, we aim to maintain the quiet nature of the area and placing only two large parcels on the 4.37 acres. We have, thus far, found this to be agreeable to our adjoining neighbors. It should be noted that there are existing parcels which adjoin our project and do not meet the 150 foot lot width requirement. As a result, we feel this request is not a large departure from what exists within the neighborhood today. Providing Municipal Services In providing the two lots in question with city sewer and water, our plan is to bring water and sewer from Everton Ave to the proposed lot 9. We would then bring water up from 121st street to provide for lot 8. This is shown in the sketch below.
