VN-165: -3- Nov. 9 1976 <br />We' sou d also comment that there- Ynay: be a question af: whether' <br />the hardship or~unique crcums~cances relsted to this request are <br />the. result. specifically, of t~iis property or are a result'of the <br />rather pieeemesl division over the years of the originalparcel <br />o~ which this land.. was a:.part.': In this sense, the applica'nt's <br />hardship may be self-created. The uniqueness of the property is also <br />questioned in light of 'the fact that" lots to the east. of this <br />parcel, are also of very large size and similar in topographye <br />While the above pacovides a rathex negative view of the ,request, <br />use U~ould also comment that the lots created, will be substantially <br />...above the minimuttlot area rFgairements,:with each lot having <br />over 'an acre in area. Thin may have the effe~et of negating somQ <br />of the concernsfor-lot. widths as expressed above.. <br />Relative to available utilities, the City Engineer h~.s indica~ed <br />that.sewer utilities would be available from ~ sewer lnex~unning <br />-along the southern portion of fihe lots and water facilities would <br />be .available from Long. Lake Road either west of the property <br />or noxth of this property. <br />An add itianal consideration .rpgaiding this request is-that City <br />ordinances require that the basement elevation of-new construction <br />must be placed at an elevation at least three feet higher. than the <br />.regional flood plane elevation. The regional flood plainelevation <br />for Long Lake is 868. This ~~~ou1d require the elevation of any <br />net~~'home constructed on the proposed lot be p1acE~d at a minimum <br />of a?1. We would suggest that approval, if granted., be conditioned.. <br />on the applicant providing a sketch showing that the house constructer <br />could-meet both the minimum elevation for basement slabs and <br />also meet a1.1 zoning code requirements in tarms of setbacks.- The <br />City Engineer, then, should also be directed not to scamp the <br />deeds of the new lots untie. ::~~ch information has been provided. <br />Pla;nnina Commissio__n _Consideracion and Recommend~tion(10-19-?6 <br />See Attached <br />
