<br />June 16,.1978 <br />Application for Variance <br />VN-186 <br />PURPOSE <br />To consider application for a variance to permit subdivision of <br />property creating a lot with less than the required lot width <br />and a lot not having frontage on a public street. <br />BACKGROUND <br />AppllCarit: Robert and Shirley Erwin <br />Location: 3077 Spring Creek Drive (NW corner of New <br />Brighton, south of Spring Creek Drive and ` <br />east of Fridley-New Brighton border) <br />Zoning: R-1, :Single family <br />Ordinance Regulations: The zoning code states that in an <br />R-1 district lots shall have a minimun width <br />of 75 feet, and the platting regulations state <br />that alI newly created lots shall abut by <br />their fu 11 frontage on a publicly dedicated <br />street. <br />The appalicant's father currently owns an approximately 3.73 <br />acre parcel shown on the attached location map. The applicants <br />would like to subdivide the property to create a lot as shown <br />on the applicants sketch. The proposed lot would be .73.5 feet <br />in width and would not front on a public street being <br />approximate3y 300 feet south of Spring Creek Drive. The <br />variance thus is needed for less than the 75 feet in width <br />and because the lot does not front on a street. <br />The proposed lot would, however, be approximately 30,000 square <br />feet in area which greatly exceeds the 10,000 square foot <br />minimum. <br />The property itself is somewhat unique in character, not only <br />being extremely large but also having substantial grade <br />differences; Rice Creek flows through the property and there <br />is a sewer easement that also crosses the. property. All of <br />the above have an effect on the development of this property. <br />
