WAIVER OF PLATTINIG.REQUIREMENTS
Uppals Addition
PLANNING COMMISSION
REPORT NO: WVR87_1 MARCH 23, 1987
PURPOSE: This report is to review and recommend action on an
application for a Waiver of the Platting Requirements.
BACKGROUND;
Name of Applicant: Bohan Uppal
Address of Property: Lots 3, 4 and 5, Uppals
Addition
Present Zoning: R -2
Reason for Request: Building two,- four family
dwellings instead of previously approved ten
units.
Nature of Request: To divide 3 lots into 2 lots of
20,242 square feet and 20,347 square feet.
The applicant is proposing to divide three existing lots
into two for the purpose of constructing two, four family
dwellings.
In July 1985, the applicant applied for and was granted
sideyard variances and a Conditional Use Permit to construct
10 townhomes on the three subject lots. The Conditional Use
Permit was granted a one year extension on July 1, 1986.
Since the granting of the extension, the applicant wishes to
construct two, four family dwellings instead of the 10
townhome units. A 2 -4 family dwelling is permitted within
the R -2 District.
The applicant would not be required by the Zoning Ordinance
to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for construction of the
project. because 1 thru 4 family structures do not require
one. The applicant has not applied for any variances in
connection with the construction of the 4- plexes, these
dwellings will have to comply with the minimum requirements
of the zoning district.
The following is a listing of how the proposed project
complies with R -2 lot requirements:

North Lot - 20,242.24

South Lot - 20,347.44
136.56
The area around the subject site consists primarily
apartments and other multiple family type dwellings.
The subject property boarders Nine Mile Creek. Any building
will require an approved plan from the Nine Mile Creek
Watershed District as well as final review by the Director
of Engineering for Flood Plain encroachment and drainage.
Access to the lots will be from 9th Avenue.
Proposed Lots
ANALY *SIS: The Hennepin County Recorder has told the
applicant the waiver would be acceptable. Both lots meet
the minimum requirements for an R -2 District. The
Commission does have the option of requiring the applicant
to go through the formal platting procedures, but the
results would be the same since the lots are conforming to
the disrict. Past policy is to grant a waiver from the
platting process on a simple division.
The Commission also has the option of continuing the
application. This does not seem logical since it appears
all necessary information has been provided by the
applicant.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve the waiver of the plat with the condition
it is accepted by the Hennepin County Recorder.
2. Require the applicant to go through the regular
subdivision procedure.
3. Continue the waiver for further information.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend Alternative 11. The following
are Findings of Fact and Conditions should the commissison
recommend approval:
1. That the subject lots meet the minimum lot
requirements for an R -2 District.
