CASE REQUEST FOR SKETCH PLAN REVIEW OF A MINOR SUBDMSION OF DICKENSON'S MISSISSIPPI ESTATE 2ND ADDITION; CASE OF ROGER DICKENSON By: Megan Wald, Associate Planner Background: Roger Dickenson has applied for sketch plan review to subdivide property located south of State Highway #10 and east of Sunfish Lake Boulevard adjacent to Dickenson's Mississippi .Estate residential development (along the City's common boundary line with the City of Anoka). The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) o) Site location map Sketch plan City Staff review letter dated March 29, 2002 Notification: Minor Subdivisions are not required to be subjected to a public hearing. Observations: The applicant currently owns approximately 5.62 acres (adjacent to the property often times referred to as the old restaurant/caf~ property). The property is zoned a combination of single family urban and highway business. Mr. Dickenson is proposing to plat one single-family lot and an outlot. The property contains an existing single family home and several accessory buildings. The applicant would like to separate the residential portion from the commercial portion of the subject property. The proposed plat will only contain 1..81 acres of the total 5.62 acre parcel. The remaining 3.81 acres of commercially zoned property will be subject to City review at such time that the applicant further subdivides the property. The single-family urban lot is proposing to be .69 acres (30,228 Square feet) in size which exceeds the Critical River 20,000 square foot lot size requirement. Lot 1, Block 1 meets the 90- foot lot width requirement at the building setback however is deficient of the 90-foot lot width requirement where the lot abuts the river. The final plat will need to reflect the Critical River setbacks. Outlot A is 1.12 acres in size. If the applicant would like to further subdivide Outlot A, the property will be subject to the Critical River lot width and dimension requirements. It would appear that the outlot would have difficulty meeting the 90-foot lot width requirement at the river frontage.
