Adjournment Planning Commission Information Sheet • Application No. 93001 Applicant: Mike Haase on Behalf of Mardella Holt Location: 4700 Block of Twin Lake Avenue (west side) Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant, Mr. Mike Haase of Counselor Realty, on behalf of Mardella Holt, owner of the property, is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide into two lots an approximate 33 , 210 square foot parcel of land located on the west side of Twin Lake Avenue, northerly of the intersection of Twin Lake Avenue and Lakeside Avenue. The land in question is zoned R2 and is bounded on the north by a single-family home, addressed as 4725 Twin Lake Avenue; on the east by Twin Lake Avenue and two duplexes located on the east side of Twin Lake Avenue; on the south by Twin Lake Beach Park controlled by the City of Brooklyn Center; and on the west by Twin Lake Avenue. The purpose of the subdivision is to create two lots, each in excess of 13 , 000 square feet for the purpose of constructing single-family homes on each of the lots. The proposed plat, which is to be known as Holt Is Twin Lake Estates, would create two buildable lots (Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 2 , Block 1) of the following dimensions: • Lot Width Depth Area Lot 1, Block 1 (northerly lot) 102 .7 ' 130 ' (approx. ) 13 , 515 s. f. Lot 2 , Block 1 (southerly lot) 102 .7 ' 130 ' (approx. ) 13 , 260 s. f. The two lots substantially exceed the minimum requirements for one-family interior lots in an R2 zone, which are 60 ' in width and 7, 600 square feet in area. Two-family dwellings are permitted in this zoning district on minimum lots of 75 ' in width and 12 ,400 square feet in area. The applicant has indicated that they intend to sell the parcels as single-family residential lots, however, the zoning ordinance would allow two-family use of the two proposed parcels. Because of this, the Engineering Department believes it is necessary that there be a Subdivision Agreement to cover the additional costs for utility service and hookups, should the property be utilized for two-family purposes. This proposed subdivision is within the flood plain for Twin Lake and, therefore, will be required to be reviewed by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission prior to approval of the final plat by the City Council. The preliminary plat shows the 100 year flood contour line of 856 ' which should have minimum impact on the proposed lots. Grading and filling of the lots, which is not 2-25-93 1 Application No. 93001 continued anticipated, would also be affected by flood plain regulations. • The contour shown indicates substantial buildable area for single- family dwelling construction. It should be noted that the State Legislature has adopted statutes that enable the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish standards and criteria to preserve and protect public waters and to regulate all land within 1, 000 ' of a lake and 300 ' of a river. This is known as the Shoreland Management Act. The DNR is in the process of implementing these regulations and have prioritized communities one through four, as to requiring the adoption of Shoreland Management Regulations. Brooklyn Center is a number four priority community and DNR has thus far made contact with only priority number one and number two communities and is in the process of implementing these regulations. Shoreland Management Regulations again affect property within 1000 ' of a lake and establish minimum requirements for such things as lot sizes, building set backs and sewage treatment. The proposed DNR requirements for general development for a lake such as Twin Lake, greatly exceed the lot size requirements contained in our zoning ordinance. For instance, the proposed Shoreland Management Regulations require minimum lot widths of 751 , minimum lot areas of 15, 000 square feet and minimum building set backs of 50 ' from the lake shore. Brooklyn Center has not yet been required to adopt • these regulations, but we will have address these matters in the future. We have made contact with Ceil Strauss, Area Hydrologist with DNR, and she is aware of the proposed subdivision. We are not in a position to impose the DNR regulations, as they have not been adopted by the city as part of our zoning ordinance. Legally, we can impose only our minimum zoning ordinance standards, to do otherwise might well be considered a taking of property by the city, without compensation. It should also be noted that the subdivision proposed by the applicant contemplates lot dimensions that are closer to the DNR standards than the minimum allowed by our zoning ordinance in an R2 zone. With respect to the proposed plat itself, it appears to be in order. The plat comprehends the dedication of a little more than 30 ' of right of way for Twin Lake Avenue. We have pointed out to the applicant the existence of an overhead powerline over the southerly portion of Lot 2 , outside of the 10 ' utility easement area. The powerline should be relocated or the easement extended to include the current location of this powerline. 2-25-93 2 • t Application No. 93001 continued • A public hearing has been scheduled and notice has appeared in the Brooklyn Center Sun/Post. Also, notice of the plat have been sent to ISD 281 and Minnesota Department of Transportation. We would recommend approv 1 of the preliminary plat, subject to the following conditions: 1) The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2) The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the Cit Ordinances, including the need for a Subdivision A reement regarding addition costs for utility servicc lines and hook ups. 3) The applicant shall apply for and receive the necessary approvals from the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission prior to final plat approval by the City Council. • • 2-25-93 3 4 • • • t T FRANCE 1 LA L� N 1 N A N BUROUEST LA. �,/``> %`•�� p A�\/ AVE_N.
