3. The two structures located on these properties are conforming as they meet all required setbacks and the total impervious falls under the 15%maximum allowed. 4. Both Tract A and B currently have on-site septic treatment systems. Municipal sewer services are not available to these properties. 5. The applicant is not proposing any provisions for water-based recreation as these properties are not adjacent to any water bodies. 6. Neither Tract A or Tract B meets the minimum buildable lot size of five acres for the RR zone. The proposed subdivision, however, would reduce the nonconformity of these parcels, reducing the total number of parcels and increasing the size of the southern tracts by 10,000 square feet each. 7. Neither tract meets the minimum lot width of 200 feet as both properties are 100 feet wide. These parcels had pre-existing at this lot width, and the subdivision does not propose to reduce the existing width of either tract. 8. Both lots meet the impervious coverage limit of 15% for the RR zone, with Tract A having approximately 15%and Tract B having roughly 12% coverage. 9. The proposed lot layouts are compatible with the existing layout of adjoining properties as the proposed subdivision seeks to extend the length of the existing southern tracts to encompass the area in the northern existing parcel. The proposed lot lines are parallel and perpendicular to existing lot lines. Future development will not be constrained by the proposed lot layouts. 10. The proposed side lot line is at right angles to the existing road line and the property line of the adjacent property. 11. Both Tract A and B meet the minimum frontage on public right-of-way requirement of 33 feet, each having 100.05 feet. All members voted"aye". Motion carried. Zoning along proposed around-town route: Councilman Nagel stated that the Council had met the night before with a representative of MnDOT and the Council was concerned that the property along the route would need to be rezoned. Currently the Commercial zone extents east along the north side of County Road 11 to the Fire Tower property, on the west side of the future road. Mr. Hallan reminded everyone that we must look at what we want the flavor to be twenty to thirty years from now. There is Commercial zoning at each end of the bypass route and in the middle, which is enough. There is no intent to rezone all along the bypass. The Planning Commission does not wish to expand Commercial zones at this time. APPLICANT: Ron Schaefer,Little Pine Investments Applicant requests a Metes and Bounds Subdivision.
