9. The proposed lot layout is generally compatible with the layout of surrounding �.. properties and will not hinder the future development of the surrounding area. io. The side lot line is radial to the OHW of West Twin Lake, but contains a bend to accommodate the location of an existing structure and equalize the areas of the two parcels. ii. The lot adjustment will not alter the drainage regime as no new structures are being proposed at this time. 12. No public dedications are being proposed with this lot line adjustment. Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission, when reviewing metes and bounds lot line adjustment, has the ability to approve the lot line adjustment based on the above findings. The Commission may also deny the lot line adjustment based on findings. If there is not sufficient information to make a decision, the Commission may table the application and request additional information. The Planning Commission makes the final decision on a metes and bounds subdivision application. Staff Recommendation: Based on the findings of fact, Staff recommends the approval of the metes and bounds subdivision request. The lot line adjustment does not create any new buildable lots, but rather results in two lots of similar size. The lot line adjustment does not decrease the lot width at the shoreline of either lot, although both fall under the minimum required.As both lots widen as they move away from the shoreline,the lots are each at least ioo feet wide at the building line. The adjustment is compatible with surrounding development and will not change the essential community character as a result. However,the dwelling on Tract A does not meet the minimum setback from the OHW of 75 feet. The Ordinance requires that any non-conforming structures be brought into conformity with any subdivision,unless waived by the Planning Commission. L City of Pequot Lakes Staff Report 8-3 June iS,2oo6
