WAIVER OF PLATTING REQUIREMENTS
BELLGROVE AREA
CITY OF HOPKINS
JANUARY 16, 1986
PURPOSE: To review and recommend action on a Waiver of Platting Requirements
to divide the lot at One Loring Road
BACKGROUND:
Nature of Request:
To divide a single lot of 66,752 square feet into two
lots of 36,315 square feet and 30,447 square feet.
Marvel Eggum
One Loring Road
R -1 -D
Higher tax base and better land use.
The subject property is zoned R -1 -D which requires 20,000 square feet of lot
area. The easterly most lot of the division would contain 36,315 square feet
and a westerly lot of 30,447 square feet. The proposed lot would have a front-
age of 220 feet on Minnetonka Boulevard.
The applicant is proposing to have access to the proposed lot on Minnetonka
Boulevard, however, if access is not granted from the County, access will be
from Loring Road. If access is granted on Minnetonka Boulevard, the strip
of land to Loring Road will become a utility easement. The City Engineer has
noted that there will be a sewer and water connection charge. A similar division
was approved by the Zoning and Planning Commission in April 1985 at 6 East St.
Albans Road.
It has been standard policy for the Commission to grant a waiver of the plat
on a single division provided the lots created are legal and with approval
contingent upon acceptance by Hennepin County Recorder of the division.
ANALYSIS: The applicant has requested a waiver of the plat in order to construct
a single family home. The proposed lots will comply with the minimum lot require-
ments. A single family dwelling is the only permitted use with the exception of
a park in an R -1 -D district.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of the waiver of the platting requirements
based on the fact that two conforming lots will be created. The following find-
ings of fact are suggested should the commission recommend approval:
Resolution recommending approval
1. That the waiver of the plat will form two conforming lots
2. That a single family dwelling may be built on the proposed lot
3. That the proposed lots conform to all requirements of the City's
zoning ordinances.
