condition. <br /> `. 8. Each lot shall have a minimum of 33 feet of frontage on a designated right of <br /> way. Commonly owned property or Green Space used for access in a Planned <br /> Unit Development shall have a minimum of 33 feet of frontage on a public <br /> right of way. <br /> Staff Findings: Staff provides the following findings of fact for consideration: <br /> 1. The property is properly zoned Rural Residential, Open Space, Shoreline <br /> Residential and Transition Residential. Tract A is currently used for residential <br /> purposes while Tract B is vacant and does not have a use established. <br /> 2. Tract A would meet the minimum requirements for the Rural Residential district <br /> when it is combined with the parcel abutting it to the north. Tract B would meet <br /> the minimum requirements for the Transition Residential, Open Space, and <br /> Shoreline Residential districts. <br /> 3. Both Tracts A and B have more than 20,000 square feet of buildable area. <br /> Neither Tract A nor Tract B would be constrained from future development. <br /> 4. There are not any nonconforming structures located on Tract A or Tract B. <br /> 5. The survey does not indicate the impervious surface coverage for Tract A but it is <br /> evident that it is less than 15 percent. Tract B does not contain any impervious <br /> surface coverage. <br /> 6. The property is suitable in its natural state for the intended purpose and this lot <br /> split would not be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of future residents or <br /> of the community. <br /> 7. It is assumed that Tract A contains a SSTS as it contains two existing buildings. <br /> Tract B does not contain a SSTS and staff is attempting to verify whether soils <br /> information is available from the local SWCD and whether that is sufficient to <br /> �-' verify the suitability of the site for two sewer sites. <br /> 8. The applicant is not proposing any provisions for water-based recreation. <br /> 9. Both tracts will conform to the minimum requirements of all four zoning districts <br /> they encompass. <br /> 10. The proposed lots are unique in that they are currently split due to Highway 371 <br /> and County Road 17. The existing lot lines are compatible with the layout of <br /> existing properties in this area and will not constrain future development of <br /> adjoining properties. <br /> 11. The existing lot lines are jagged and not at right angles to existing road lines but <br /> follow the existing pattern of the right-of-way in this unique area. <br /> 12. Both Tract A and Tract B meet the minimum frontage on public right-of-way <br /> requirement of 33 feet. <br /> Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission may approve the metes <br /> and bounds subdivision, develop findings to deny the metes and bounds subdivision, or <br /> table the subdivision request to gather additional information on which to base a <br /> decision or to provide the applicant time to modify the proposal. <br /> Staff Recommendation: The proposed lot split would allow for a non-conforming lot <br /> to be made conforming by combining it with another Rural Residential parcel. The <br /> remainder of the property, Tract B, is not changing at this time and still conforms to the <br /> Ordinance without having the RR section. We recommend that the subdivision be <br /> approved with the following conditions: <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report 8(a)-4 <br /> January 21,2010 <br />
