Pequot Lakes Staff Report 7(a) - 6 January 15, 2015 11. Lots requiring variances to allow their use for the intended purposes or requiring holding tanks for sewage shall not be allowed. Staff Findings: Staff provides the following findings of fact for consideration: 1. The subject properties are properly zoned “Rural Residential”. 2. The lot widths of the proposed parcels meet the minimum standard of 200 feet. 3. The proposed parcels meet the minimum area requirements of the Rural Residential zone. 4. The “Adams Tract” currently contains a non-conforming dwelling and a non- conforming accessory structure. The subdivision does not increase the level of non-conformity. 5. The “Hendrickson Tract” currently contains a non-conforming dwelling and a non-conforming accessory structure. The subdivision does not increase the level of non-conformity. 6. The subject properties are not adjacent to the municipal water and wastewater utilities. All three parcels contain a private sewer system and a private water well. 7. The properties are suitable in their natural state for the intended purpose and these lot splits would not be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of future residents or of the community. 8. The applicants are not proposing any provisions for water-based recreation. 9. The proposed lot layout meets the requirements of the ordinance. 10. The proposed side lot lines are at right angles to the existing road line and the property line of the adjacent property. 11. Each of the proposed parcels has at least 33-feet of frontage on public right-of- way. 12. The subject property meets the requirements of the code for stromwater management. 13. There are no public streets proposed within the development. 14. The proposed subdivision would bring the existing dwellings on the “Adams Tract” and the “Hendrickson Track” into conformity so they are not encroaching on the side yard setback. Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission can approve the metes and bounds subdivision, deny the metes and bounds subdivision, or table the request if additional information is needed. If the motion is for approval or denial, findings of fact should be cited. Staff Recommendation: The proposed parcels meet the requirements of the Rural Residential Zone. Staff recommends the application be approved with no conditions.
