CR 91-265 Waiver Of Plat - 6 Webster Place0
November 27, 1991 K Council Report 91 -265
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve
Resolution 91 -150 approving the waiver of plat at 6 Webster
Place.
The Zoning and Planning Commission unanimously approved
Resolution RZ91 -21 recommending to divide 6 Webster Place
into two lots.
Overview.
The applicant is proposing to divide the existing lot at 6
Webster Place into two lots. The division would create one
lot of 59,931 square feet and a second lot of 91,889 square
feet.
The new lot created is the northern section of the existing
lot which abuts Minnetonka Boulevard.
The action as being proposed will allow the lots to be
divided without going through a full platting process.
The staff reviewed the applicant's request with the
Commission. There was little discussion on this matter by
the Commission.
Primary Issues to Consider.
o Do the proposed lots meet the zoning requirements?
o Where is the access to the new lot?
o Are there any other requirements for the
applicant?
o What is the staff recommending for park
dedication?
o Why waive the plat instead of a subdivision?

o Do the new lots meet the zoning requirements?
The Bellgrove area is zoned R -1 -E which requires a minimum
lot size of 40,000 square feet. Both the lots meet this
minimum requirement. The existing home will have the
minimum setbacks required in the R -1 -E district with the lot
split.
o Where will the new lot have access ?
The new lot will have access from Minnetonka Boulevard. The
access to the existing lot will not be affected and will
remain from Webster Place.
Hennepin County will need to grant a driveway permit when
the home is constructed.
o Are there any other requirements for the applicant?
The applicant will be required to hook up to city water and
sewer when a home is constructed. The fees required for the
connections are defined in sections 705 and 710 of the City
Code.
o What is the staff recommending for park dedication?
The park dedication ordinance allows for the dedication of
land or cash. In this case the staff is recommending that
there be a payment of cash in lieu of land. The fee for a
single family home is $500.00. The Park Board also
recommended the payment of cash.
o Why waive the plat instead of a subdivision?
It has been past practice that if an applicant requests a
simple lot split, the City waives the plat instead of
requiring a subdivision. A subdivision is more expensive
and more time consuming than a waiver of plat. A waiver of
plat will accomplish what the applicant is requesting.
Alternatives.
1. Approval of the waiver of plat. By approving the
applicant's request to divide the property at 6 Webster
Place, the applicant will be able to divide the
property at 6 Webster into two lots.

2. Deny of the waiver of plat. By denying the waiver of
plat the applicant will not be able to divide the
property at 6 Webster Place.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council
indicates that further information is needed, the item
should be continued.
