The land shall be properly zoned and suitable in its natural state for the <br /> intended purpose with minimal alteration required. Land subject to flooding, <br /> land below the ordinary high water mark, wetlands, areas with high water <br /> table, bluffs, lands with slopes exceeding 25% or land containing other <br /> significant constraint(s) upon future intended usage, shall not be considered <br /> in the minimum size of a lot. The suitability analysis for each lot shall also <br /> consider soil and rock formations with severe limitations for development, <br /> severe erosion potential, inadequate water supply or sewage treatment <br /> capabilities, near-shore aquatic conditions unsuitable for water-based <br /> recreation,important fish and wildlife habitat,presence of significant historic <br /> sights, or any other feature of the natural land likely to be harmful to the <br /> health, safety, or welfare of future residents of the proposed subdivision or of <br /> the community. <br /> 2. All non-conforming structures and uses shall be brought into conformity <br /> during the subdivision process, except as specifically waived by motion of the <br /> Planning Commission. <br /> 3. Each lot shall be adjacent to public sewer or shall have a minimum <br /> contiguous lawn area that is free of limiting factors sufficient for the <br /> construction of two standard soil treatment sewage systems. <br /> 4. Provisions for water based recreation where near shore aquatic conditions are <br /> unsuitable for direct access. <br /> 5. Lot areas and dimensions shall conform to the requirements of the Zoning <br /> Chapter,without variance. <br /> 6. Lot layouts shall be compatible with the existing layout of adjoining <br /> properties and/or shall not constrain the future development of adjacent <br /> properties if those properties were to be developed as per the Pequot Lakes <br /> Land Use and Subdivision Ordinance. <br /> 7. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles to straight road lines or <br /> radial to curved road lines, radial to lake or stream shores, and shall not <br /> contain bends or jogs unless topographic conditions necessitate a different <br /> arrangement. Existing structures shall not be construed to be a topographic <br /> 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 Downtown Mixed Use and is suitable in its <br /> natural state for higher density residential uses as permitted in the DMU zone. <br /> The property has been used for residential purposes. <br /> 2. Both Tracts A and B have more than 2,500 square feet of buildable area. Neither <br /> Tract A nor Tract B would be constrained from future development. <br /> 3. Tract A contains a dwelling and it is conforming as it meets all required setbacks <br /> and the total impervious falls under the 5o% maximum allowed.Tract B contains <br /> a detached accessory structure, which is not allowed without principle structure, <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report 7(a)-3 <br /> September 18,20o8 <br />
