NEW BUSINESS:
2010.0008 Lot Division
Patrick Splinter
6116 Ewing Avenue
6124 Ewing Avenue
Planner Presentation
Planner Teague informed the Commission Patrick
Splinter is proposing to shift the existing lot line that divides 6116 and 6124 Ewing Avenue South for the purpose of adding more land area to 6116 Ewing Avenue. No changes are proposed
to structures on either lot. The applicant would like to put up a fence along what has been percieved as the lot line separating these two lots. The existing lot line actually runs through
the middle of three large Oak Trees, which the applicant does not want to disturb.
Planner Teague recommend that the City Council approve the Lot Division of 6116 and 6124 Ewing Avenue
South based on the following findings:
1. The lot area and width of 6116 Ewing is currently non-conforming, it does not meet the median requirements. The resulting lot division would
result in both lots meeting the median lot area requirement.
2. The resulting lots comply with all minimum lot size standards of Section 850 of the zoning ordinance.
Approval is also subject to the following Conditions:
1. All building activity on either lot must comply with all minimum zoning ordinance standards.
2. The new fence may be installed
after the approving resolution is filed at Hennepin County.
Motion
Commissioner Staunton moved to recommend lot division approval based on staff findings and subject to staff conditions.
Commissioner Brown seconded the motion. All vote aye; motion carried.
