The lots are within the R1 zone and will be developed with single-family homes. The plat comprehends a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance in that the lot east of Drew is approximately 65' in width at the setback line. All of the lots exceed the required 9,500 sq. ft. of area for single family lots in the R1 zone. The applicant has submitted no letter addressing the Standards for a Variance (attached). However, in this case the proposal seems to meet those Standards unambiguously. The circumstance - a property remaining after highway taking which is substandard in width, yet buildable - is fairly unique and was certainly not the result of actions taken by the owner or anyone having an interest in the property. Denial of the variance would cause a hardship in that the use of a buildable property would be denied; moreover, use of the lot west of Drew Avenue might also be denied since the access to that parcel is presently controlled by the owner of the property to the east. Finally, no adverse impact on the sur- rounding property seems likely to result from the development of this property for a single-family home. The applicant has additional concerns over the location of the structures on the lots because of setback requirements from property lines and/or the noise wall to be erected within the I-94 right-of-way to the north of these lots. However, the current application addresses only the width of the eastern most lot and no other variances are comprehended. The variance request also comprehends the approval of an 80' diameter cul-de-sac rather than the ordinance required minimum of 100'. The diameter of the paved area will be 60'. Consistent with the variance on lot width, we find no conflict with the ordinance Standards for Granting a Variance. An important issue involved in this plat is the size and shape of land to be dedicated for public right-of-way. The City Engineer is presently seeking a response from MN/DOT as to whether it would allow the City to store snow on the I-94 right-of-way, between the property line and the noise wall. If this is allowed, it may be possible to shift the proposed cul-de-sac so that it is entirely contained within the land presently being platted. Otherwise, easements for right-of-way purposes would have to be obtained from the properties to the south. Or, a "hammerhead" cul-de-sac would be necessary to provide adequate turnaround space for City vehicles. This solution would create difficulties for the developer in that driveways and consequently, garages would have to be located on the south side of each lot. The setback require- ment for dwellings being greater than for garages, some inconvenience would likely be experienced by the builder in situating the houses on the respective lots. It is our judgment, however, that such an inconvenience would not be great enough to constitute a hardship and thereby justify a variance. We will be prepared to discuss this issue in greater detail at Thursday's meeting. 7-24-80 -1- t -• Application No. 80026 RECOMMENDATIONS Approval of the variance from Section 15:106 g. and 15:106 (c) 10 of the Sub- division Ordinance is recommended on the grounds that the Standards for a Variance are met. It should also be recognized that no variances for the development of the property are comprehended by this approval. Approval of the preliminary plat is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. Final plat approval is subject to the requirements of the Sub- division Ordinance with the exception of the lot width require- ment on the easterly lot which is acknowledged by variance to have a lot width of 65' and with the exception of an 80' diameter cul-de-sac rather than 100'. 2. The final plat is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. 3. The preliminary plat shall be modified prior to consideration by the City Council to indicate the following: (a) Each lot shall be given a lot number and two blocks should be indicated, divided by the Drew Avenue right-of-way. (b) The size and shape of the area to be dedicated for cul-de-sacs shall be modified in accordance with the recommendations of the City Engineer. 7-24-80 -2- , .
