WAIVER OF PLAT 7 WEBSTER PLACE
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve
Resolution RZ93 -8 recommending denial of a waiver of plat to
divide the lot at 7 Webster Place.
Overview.
The applicant currently owns 7 Webster Place. This lot is
89,851 square feet. The applicant is proposing to divide
this lot into two parcels. The proposed lot where the home
is currently located would be 31,351 square feet and the
new, vacant lot would be 58,500 square feet.
The subject lot is located in an R -1 -E district. The R -1 -E
district requires a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet.
The applicant has applied for a variance to allow a smaller
lot consisting of 31,351 square feet. This action would
need to be approved prior to the granting of the waiver of
plat. Staff has recommended denial of the variance.
Primary Issues to Consider.
o Has the subject property been divided previously?
o What are the specifics of the proposal?
o Does the applicant have any alternatives if the
variance is denied?

Primary Issues to consider.
o Has the subject property been divided previously?
Originally 7 Webster Place was a large lot consisting of
approximately 153,000 square feet. Approximately 10 years
ago a waiver of plat was granted to split approximately
63,000 square feet into a new lot on which a house was
constructed. Access to this lot is from Loring Road. The
applicant was not the owner of the property at this time.
o What are the specifics of the proposal?
The applicant now owns 89,851 square feet of the remaining
lot and is proposing to divide the lot into two parcels.
The proposed new parcels will be 58,500 and 31,351 square
feet. The applicant is proposing to construct a new house
on the vacant lot. Access to the lot will be from an
easement on the north side of 7 Webster Place.
The new lot does have frontage on Loring Road. However, the
only way the applicant can get access from Loring Road, is
to construct a bridge across the wetlands. Fill is not
permitted in the wetlands.
The applicant has applied for a variance to allow a 31,351
square foot lot. The staff has recommended denial of the
variance.
o Does the applicant have any alternatives if the
variance is denied?
The applicant can divide the lot in such a way as to have
40,000 square feet for both lots. However, access will
still be a problem, as noted above.
Alternatives.
1. By recommending approval of the waiver of plat, the
City Council will consider a recommendation of approval
for the waiver of plat.
2. By recommending denial of the waiver of plat, the City
Council will consider a recommendation of denial for
the waiver of plat.
3. Continue for further information. If the Commission
indicates that further information is needed the item
Ill should be continued.

RESOLUTION NO: RZ93 -8
RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDING
DENIAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR A WAIVER OF PLAT
WHEREAS, an application for a variance entitled VN 93 -1 made by
Gregory and Susan Hayes is recommended for denial.
WHEREAS, the procedural history of the application is as follows:
1. That an application for a waiver of plat entitled WVR
93 -1 was filed with the City of Hopkins on February 15,
1993.
2. That the Hopkins Planning Commission, pursuant to
mailed notice, held a meeting on March 30, 1993 and
reviewed such application.
3. That the written comments and analysis of the City
Staff and the Planning Commission were considered.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission for the
City of Hopkins that based on the above findings, the application for
WVR 93 -1 is recommended for denial based on the following reasons:
1. That the applicant property does not meet the minimum lot
requirements for the R -1 -E Zoning District.
2. That the lot meets the literal interpretation of the minimum
20 foot frontage requirement but it does not meet the
practical intent of the frontage requirement.
Adopted this 30th day of March, 1993.
John T. Hutchison, Chairman
