The lot is the second lot from the corner of 56th and Camden on the east side of the street. Presently the lot extends from Camden Avenue North eastward 200' to a point south of a cul-de-sac at the end of 56th Avenue North, just on the west side of Interstate 94. It is 99.79 feet wide and there are no structures located on the lot. The property will be divided precisely in half with each lot having dimensions of 99.79' x 100' for an area of 9979 sq. ft. The lots meet the ordinance .require- ments for width and area, but are substandard by 10' as to depth (the ordinance requirement is 110'). A variance from the lot depth requirement is, therefore, requested (Application No. 82003. The applicant has stated briefly on the application form submitted that the variance: -is necessary for 2 buildable lots -will not be detrimental to the public or surrounding area -is necessitated by the special circumstances created by acquisition of land for highway purposes The standards for a variance from Chapter 15 (the Subdivision Ordinance) are as follows:: 1. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting said property such that the strict application of -the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land. . 2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoy- ment of a substantial property right of the petitioner. 3. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which said property is located. Staff would concur that the standards for a variance seem to be met. The parcel of land is essentially large enough for two single-family lots and has two potential accesses. The total depth of the existing lot of 200' was a result of highway taking, not platting of additional lots. Furthermore, there seems to be no detrimental effect on surrounding properties. There has been at least one variance from the lot depth requirement in the last ten years. That was granted to Lester Mayo under Application No.76023 to allow subdivision of a 101.85' x 232' lot at the northwest corner of 57th and Camden into two lots, one of which measured 94' x 101.85' for a variance of 8.15'. Staff can find no record of recent variance request of this type being denied as long as lot area and width requirements are met. 1-14-82 Application Nos. 82002 and 82003 continued It should be noted that all utilities serving the easterly lot (Lot 2) will be brought in through an easement along the south side of Lot 1. The easement is proposed to be 10' wide; however, the City Engineer has advised that a 20' wide easement may be necessary unless cast iron pipe is installed for the sanitary sewer. Such an easement would have no real effect on the buildabi-lity of Lot 1 since that parcel is almost 100' wide. We are unable at the writing of this report to comment on the drainage of the site because no topographic survey has yet been submitted. We hope to have this information by Thursday night's meeting. Access to 56th Avenue North is also through a driveway easement traversing land presently owned by the Highway Department. Subject to this review, the plat seems to be in order and approval is recommended 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 City Ordinances, with the exception of the lot depth requirement. Approval of Application No. 82003 for a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance is also recommended on the following grounds: 1. The two lots meet the requirement for width and area and make appropriate use of land served by two access points. 2. The size of the existing parcel was determined by taking of land for public right-of-way. 3. The variance will not cause a detriment to surrounding properties. 1-14-82 -2-
