Administrative land divisions are approved administratively if there are no variances or if there is no written appeal received within 10 days of notification. Since this request includes a variance, the Council must review the application. Following a public hearing, the Council may decide to hear the request now, and act upon it. As an alternative, the Council may refer the item to the Planning Commission for input following the public hearing (see Exhibit A). The public hearing notice (attached) has already been mailed indicating that the Council will conduct a public hearing on April 6th. ANAL YSIS: The applicant is proposing to combine three substandard existing lots of record to create two lots for the future construction of two single family dwellings. The lots are Lot 40, Lot 41 and Lot 42 of Red Oaks and are in separate ownership. Red Oaks was platted in 1930 (Exhibit B). A single family dwelling is located on Lot 41 which will be demolished. Existing lot attributes are as follows: Lot 40: 49' Lot width 7,026 square feet above 904 el. Lot 41: 48' Lot width 7,649 square feet above 904 el. Lot 42: 68' Lot width 13,497 square feet above 904 el. There is an existing house on Lot 41. Lots 40 and 42 are vacant. City Code allows for existing lots of record to be buildable if the minimum lot width is 50 feet and the minimum lot area is 7,500 square feet. If the lot width or area are less than that, then a variance must be granted to be buildable. Upon review of such variance, reasonable use of the existing lots are determined along with hardship criteria. If the lots were to develop as three separate lots, the following variances would be required: L:\98FILES\98ADPLA 1\98-033\98-033CC.DOC ~g\: I 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (6L~) q47-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Lot 41: Lot width. Lot 42: OHW setback. The attached Exhibit B shows how the lots could be developed as three separate lots with variances. The petitioners request is to combine the three lots to two lots. The attributes of the two lots as requested is: Lot 1 (north lot): Lot width 94.79 feet Lot area 14,120 sq. feet above 904 el. (880 square foot variance) OHW width 263.05 feet Lot 2 (south lot): Lot width 71.28 feet (18.72 foot variance) Lot area 9,810 sq. feet above 904 el. (5,190 square foot variance) OHW width 85.7 feet The proposed Lot 1 (north lot) will meet lot width and OHW frontage. A variance to lot area is being requested. The proposed Lot 2 (south lot) will meet the requirements as to OHW frontage, but needs a variance to lot width and lot area. Setback variances are not being requested for either lot. Exhibit C shows the building pads of the proposed lots. The elevations of the proposed structures do not meet the recently adopted flood requirements and the applicant is aware of the required flood protection elevation of 909.9' MSL. Red Oaks Addition was platted with access to Lots 38-42 via a 20 foot publicly dedicated road. The road has never been built. The current access is a private drive, partially paved, serving the two existing structures on Lots 38 thru 41. The drive is located partially within the dedicated roadway and partially on private property. The City does not maintain the road because it does not meet City standards and is partially located on private property. Access for the proposed two lots can be achieved one of two ways: · Via a private driveway easement for the existing drive (over Lots 38 and 39) and completed construction of the bituminous drive to serve the two proposed lots. or · By construction of the road as shown on the original plat. Because private streets are only allowed under PUD's and must meet City standards, the applicant is not proposing to L:\98FILES\98ADPLA 1\98-033 \98-033CC.DOC Page 2 replat the property to include a new private street. The width of the road and current City standards make this an unviable option. Rather, the applicant is proposing to utilize the existing publicly dedicated road for access. Because the existing dedicated road is substandard and is not constructed, a "Private Use Of Public Property" agreement must be executed and recorded with the new lots (attached). This will allow the petitioner to construct a driveway access across the dedicated road right-of-way to provide access to the proposed lots. This driveway cannot meet current City standards so it will not be maintained by the City. The end result is a private driveway on public right-of-way constructed and maintained by private property owners. The agreement requires the property to remain open for public use. Considerations for constructing this road include a minimum elevation of 907.9 feet. A portion of the dedicated right-of- way is within the flood plain and below the Ordinary High Water (904') elevation. Therefore, fill must be used to elevated the drive. Exhibit A indicates the location of the dedicated drive and the width available for construction of the road above the Ordinary High Water elevation (904'). Approximately 12 feet of the dedicated 20 feet is above the 904 elevation. The Tree Preservation Ordinance also applies to these lots. Tree preservation plans will be required at the time permits are issued. VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS 1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect to the property. This criteria goes to whether reasonable use can be made of the property if the Ordinance is literally enforced. Considering the lots are separate lots of record, reasonable use of the property cannot be made without four variances. As proposed, three variances are being requested. The applicant is proposing to reduce the non-conformity of the three lots by re-platting the property. 2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property. The unique circumstances are the location of the lots on a peninsula and the platting of the property prior to the establishment of the shoreland regulations. Considering that those are existing conditions created in 1930 and L:\98FILES\98ADPLA 1\98-033\98-03 3CC.DOC Page 3 they cannot be altered to meet the ordinance requirements, hardships do exists for lot area and lot width. 3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of actions of persons presently having an interest in the property. The lot width and area are hardships that are not the result of the applicant's actions. The property was platted in 1930 as three lots. Four separate variances would be necessary to build and make reasonable use of the property. The applicant is proposing to reduce the number of lots anOlhus reduce the exiting non- conformities. The hardship is caused by provisions of the ordinance and not the result of the petitioners actions. 4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest. Considering the three lots are existing lots of record, they could be built upon separately. All of the existing three lots are substandard, however two of the three lots cannot be built upon because each lot lacks at least 50' in width measured at the front yard setback and is less than 7,500 sq. feet in area. The applicant is proposing to combine the three lots, reducing the non-conformity of the lot width, area and OHW width as much as possible. Staff feels that the existing lots, platted prior to the implementation of the Shoreland Ordinance, present hardships that are unique to the property and under no control of the applicant. The proposed combination of three substandard lots is in the best interest of the public. Staff recommends approval of the variance and the administrative land division with the following conditions: 1. A private easement be obtained for use of the existing driveway across Lots 38 and 39 and construction of the bituminous drive be continued to serve the proposed lots; or A "Permit Agreement For Private Use Of Public Property" be executed for the construction and use. of the road prior to the issuance of a building permit for either proposed house. 2. A separate grading permit will be required for construction of the private drive. L:\98FILES\98ADPLA 1\98-033\98-033CC.DOC Page 4 .~ 1IIIJ ... ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDATION ACTION REQUIRED: REVIEWED BY: 3. The existing structure be remove prior to City approval and recording of the new warranty deeds. This will eliminate a structure being located over a lot line in the event the proposed development is not completed. 4. Dedication of drainage and utility easements along interior lot lines is also required. Notices of the administrative lot division and variance request were mailed on March 6, 1998. Attached are two letters raising issues about the proposed development. 1. Following the public hearing, City Council could make a decision regarding the variance request and administrative subdivision. 2. Following the public hearing, the City Council could refer one or both of the requests to the Planning Commission for input or request that the Planning Commission hold a public hearing on the variance request. In the absence of receiving significant new input from the public hearing then Alternative 1 would be appropriate. If new information or questions arise, then the Council may wish to pursue Alternative 2.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF T.t.lE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA, that it hereby approves the following variances for the combination of three lots to create two lots as identified in attached Exhibit A (legal description and survey): 1. An 880 square foot variance to permit lot area of 14,120 square feet rather than the required 15,000 square feet for proposed Lot 1. 2. A 5,190 square foot variance to permit lot area of9,810 square feet rather than the required 15,000 square feet for proposed Lot 2. 3. An 18.72 foot variance to permit an OHW width of 71.52 feet rather than the required 75 feet for proposed Lot 2. FINDINGS 1. The City Council has considered the effect of the proposed variances upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variances on the Comprehensive Plan. 1:\98files\98var\98-034\ccres.doc ] 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER 2. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variances will not result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. 3. The special conditions applying to the subject property are unique to such property, and do not generally apply to other land in the district in which such land is located. The unique circumstances applicable to this lot are that the lots are located on a peninsula and were originally created in 1930, prior to the implementation of the Shoreland Ordinance, over which, the applicants had no control, nor can they change the existing conditions. 4. The properties could be developed separately as existing substandard lots upon the approval of four variances. The applicant has proposed to combine the lots into two lots, thus reducing the nonconformity. 5. The granting of the variances are necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The variances will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship. 6. The contents of Planning Case 98-034 are hereby entered into and made a part of the public record and the record of decision for this case. Pursuant to Section 5-6-8 of the Ordinance Code this variance will be deemed to be abandoned, and thus will be null and void one (1) year from the date of approval if the holder of the variances has failed to obtain any necessary, required or appropriate permits for the completion of contemplated improvements. Passed and adopted this 6th day of April, 1998.

Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 RE: PROPOSED ADMINISTRATNE LAND DNISION AND VARIANCE, LOTS 40, 41, & 42, RED OAKS De~ Ms. Tovar: I have reviewed the materials submitted regarding the proposed zoning matter. Additionally, I have met with the applicant to discuss the proposal. The following comments are submitted for consideration. Please check to determine if the proposed lot sizes of 17,020 and 11,153 square feet include land below the ordinary high water elevation (OHW) of 904.0 feet. As per your shoreland ordinance, only land above the OHW can be used to meet the minimum lot area standard. Land below the OHW can be platted, but not credited towards the minimum lot area requirement. The DNR encourages combination of existing nonconforming lots of record. In fact, state law requires combination of contiguous nonconforming lots of record in common ownership. My understanding is the subject three contiguous lots are not in common ownership, and, thus, may be considered as three separate parcels for development purposes. The first floor elevations for proposed structures are depicted on the drawings I reviewed. Please ensure that the lowest floor elevations (including crawl space) are at or above the regulatory flood protection elevation (RFPE), the lOa-year flood elevation plus one foot. Also, floodplain regulations require road access no lower than two feet below the RFPE. It appears the existing platted road would need to be elevated to meet this zoning requirement. As discussed with the applicant, it is not likely the DNR would permit encroachment into the lake (below 904') with fill for purposes of elevating the road. The DNR is not opposed to the requested administrative land division and lot size variance, provided the floodplain issues I mention above are adequately addressed. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment. If you have any questions, please call me at 772-7910.

BENEDICT 15380 Breezy Point Road SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 lY March 17, 1998 Prior Lake Planning Department 16200 Eagle Creek Avenue Prior Lake, MN 55372 HAND DELIVERED RE: Administrative Land Division for Lots 40, 41 and 42, Red Oaks Gentlemen and Ladies: I am writing to comment on the proposal to combine Lots 40, 41 and 42, Red Oaks, into two parcels, one a conforming lot of 17,020 square feet, and the other a non- conforming lot of 11,153 square feet. The proposed lot combination will create an additional building parcel because currently only Lot 41 appears to be buildable. Lot 40 is less than 50 feet wide and has less than 7,500 square feet. Lot 42 is of adequate size, but does not appear to have an adequate building pad after consideration of the 50 foot lakeshore setback and a 5 foot side yard setback. The area of the proposed lot is also not consistent with either the neighborhood or my recently approved lots. The net lot area of my lots is 17,583, 25,566 and 28,653 square feet. The combined area of Lots 40, 41 and 42 of 28, 173 square feet is more consistent with the newly created lots in Red Oaks Second Addition, than a lot of only 11,153 square feet. Since the owner has a reasonable use for the existing combined parcel, there does not appear to be the hardship needed to support a variance approval for the substandard lot. You may call me at 831-0111 (work) or 447-2688 (home), if you have questions or need additional information about my concerns. Sincerely yours, r(h~J &wJ~ut> Michael S. Benedict MSB:jd .,-" ... March 12, 1998 Ms. Jenni Tovar City of Prior Lake 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S. E. Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 Re: Case #98-033 and #98-034 Dear Ms. Tovar: Thank you for notifying me of the proposed division of the land adjacent to my property (Lots 40, 41 and 42) Red Oaks Addition, Scott County, Minnesota. I own Lots 38 and 39 and am concerned about this proposal. The purpose of my letter is to voice my objection to the building of two homes on the subject property. The only road that accesses this property crosses my property. When I purchased my property from the Durands in 1974, I gave them permission to use the road on a year to year basis. I gave permission to a single family only, and oppose any additional use; specifically use of the road for develop- ment of the adjacent land or use of the road by multiple home owners. Any use of my land for these purposes, in my mind, will be deemed trespassing. One of the options would be to move the road to its proper place, however, this might be in violation of the setback regulations, would result in loss of trees and cause damage to the shoreline. I would be more than willing to try to work things out, as long as it doesn't affect the use and quiet enjoyment of my property. I would consider granting an easement if develop- ment is limited, and I am reasonably compensated for the easement. Please send a copy of the City Council's status report con- cerning this issue as soon as possible to James Feick, 10125 Crosstown Circle, #230, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. Thank you. Sincerely, L'!- 4 ~~ (/James A. Feick ) rn@[go~[g,~)' 1.1/; \ MAR 131998 .11 !;I i: ~;/ NOTICE OF PROPOSED ADMINISTRATIVE LAND DIVISION AND VARIANCE Case #98-033 and #98-034 " March 6, 1998 The Prior Lake Planning Department has received an application from Hillcrest Homes to consider an Administrative Land Division for the property located at 15341 Red Oaks Road, legally described as Lots 40, 41 and 42, Red Oaks, Scott County, MN. The proposal is to combine three existing lots into two larger sized lots for future construction of single family dwellings. The proposed subdivision does not create any additional buildable parcels, but rather reduces the nonconformity of the existing three lots by combining the properties into two lots. A variance to lot area is being requested for the lot to contain Lot 40 and part of Lot 41, Red Oaks (southern lot). No other variances are necessary in regards to the lot combination. The minimum lot size for riparian lots located within the R-1 (Single Family Residential) and SD (Shoreland Overlay District) is 15,000 square feet. The northern lot will have 17,020 square feet, and the southern lot will have 11,153 square feet. Therefore, a 3,847 square foot variance to permit lot area of 11,153 square feet rather than the required 15,000 square feet is being requested. Section 6-1-3 of the Prior Lake Subdivision Ordinance allows the City Manager or representative to authorize subdivision approval without a public hearing under the following circumstances: 1. The division of the parcel will not result in more than three parcels. 2. The property to be subdivided is a lot of record in the office of the County Recorder of Scott County. 3. The resulting parcels generally conform to the shape and area of existing or anticipated land subdivisions in the surrounding areas. 4. The division will not cause any structure to be in violation of setbacks. 5. Any easements which may be required by the City must be granted. 6. The owners of the land contiguous to the parcel must be notified in writing, and no written obiection received within ten davs followina notification. 1:\98 filej)98ac\plat\9 8-03.J \98-o:upn.dol 245 16200 Eagle creeR Ave. ~.E., Prior ake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph, (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER 7. Any written objection shall constitute an appeal. Such an objection shall be forwarded to the City Council who shall hear the objection and decide the matter. 8. Variances filed with the administrative land division may be considered by the City Council, without prior review by the Planning Commission, provided a hearing is conducted by the City Council. The criteria for granting a variance are as follows and stated in the Zoning Ordinance: 1. Literal enforcement of the Ordinance would result in undue hardship with respect to the property. 2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property. 3. The hardship is caused by provisions of the Ordinance and is not the result of actions of persons presently having an interest in the property. 4. The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Ordinance, produces substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest. A copy of the Administrative Plat with variance is attached. Please accept this as official notification of this proposed Administrative Plat and Variance. Written comments or objections regarding this matter should be submitted to the Planning Department by March 17, 1998. You are hereby notified the City Council will hear this item on April 6, 1998 at 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible. Due to the variance request, they may refer the request to the Planning Commission for input, or they may hold a public hearing and make a decision on the request. Meetings are held at Prior Lake Fire Station #1, located at 16776 Fish Point Road SE (Southwest of the intersection of C.R. 21 and Fish Point Road).
