2. The City Council of the City of Prior Lake does hereby ordain that Subsection 1104.902 of the Prior Lake Ordinance
is hereby amended as follows:
1104.902 Nonconforming Lot Development of a nonconforming lot of record requires sensitivity and careful
attention to issues of drainage, setbacks, flood plain elevation, grading, lot coverage, existing vegetation
cover, and relationship to adjacent structures. New construction upon nonconforming lots should be
carefully designed to integrate with the existing neighborhood development. It is the intent of this Section
to provide flexibility to develop nonconforming lots. However, the requirements outlined herein are
intended to define the conditions under which the City will allow a nonconforming lot to be developed for
single - family detached dwelling purposes without a variance. Development on nonconforming lots of
record which do not comply with these criteria may only be considered after application for, and approval
of, appropriate variances as provided for in Subsection 1108.400.
(1) Sewered Areas: A legal lot of record existing upon the effective date of this Section in a residential
district, located adjacent to a General Development or Recreational Development Lake, which does not
meet the requirements of this Section as to area or width may be utilized for single - family detached
dwelling purposes, provided that all of the conditions of this subsection apply:
a. The minimum lot size with public sewer shall be a minimum of 50 feet in width measured at the
front yard setback line and shall have a minimum lot area equal to or greater than 7,500 square
feet.
b. The lot has been assessed a sewer and water assessment and will not require an on -site septic
system for development.
C. The lot was created compliant with official controls in effect at the time.
d. The development plans shall be in conformance with the policies for residential development
as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan.
e. The development plan shall not exceed thirty percent (30 %) impervious surface coverage.
f. Development shall be planned and conducted in such a manner that the control of disturbed
areas and erosion is demonstrated during and after construction.
g. A complete grading and drainage plan shall be submitted to the City Engineer for review. Such
plans should be prepared in accordance with the Storm Water Management Plan.
h. The lot and proposed structure shall meet all other performance standards of the zoning and
building codes.
(2) All Areas: Development of all nonconforming legal lots of record existing upon the effective date of this
Section shall comply with the following:
a. In a group of two or more contiguous lots of record under a common ownership, an individual
lot must be considered as a separate parcel of land for the purpose of sale or development, if
it meets the following requirements:
(1) The lot must be at least 66 percent of the dimensional standard for lot width and lot size;
(2) The lot must be connected to a public sewer, if available, or must be suitable for the
installation of a Type 1 sewage treatment system;
(3) Impervious surface coverage must not exceed 30 percent of each lot; and
(4) Development of the lot must be consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan.
b. A lot subject to paragraph (a) not meeting the requirements of paragraph (a) must be
combined with the one or more contiguous lots so they equal one or more conforming lots as
much as possible.
C. Notwithstanding paragraph (a), contiguous nonconforming lots of record in shoreland areas
under a common ownership must be able to be sold or purchased individually if each lot
contained a habitable residential dwelling at the time the lots came under common ownership
and the lots are suitable for, or served by, a sewage treatment system, or connected to a
public sewer.
d. In evaluating all variances, zoning and building permit applications, or conditional use
requests, the zoning authority shall require the property owner to address, when appropriate,
storm water runoff management, reducing impervious surfaces, increasing setback,
restoration of wetlands, vegetative buffers, sewage treatment and water supply capabilities,
and other conservation - designed actions.
e. A portion of a conforming lot may be separated from an existing parcel as long as the
remainder of the existing parcel meets the lot size and sewage system requirements of the
zoning district for a new lot and the newly created parcel is combined with an adjacent parcel.
3. This Ordinance shall become effective from and after its passage and publication.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Prior Lake this 10th day of February, 2014.
