That Section 9,21.04 (Shoreland Overlay District Development Standards) requires a structure setback of 50 feet from County highway right-of-ways; in accordance with the request of Anoka County, the Applicant will be dedicating an additional 27 feet of right of way for County Road #27 on the proposed plat of L.P. Keillor Addition; the existing 33 feet of right-of-way from the centerline combined with the additional 27 feet to be dedicated and the required 50 foot setback thereto, results in a total setback from the centerline of County Road #27 of 110 feet; this 110 foot setback requirement would take precedence over the 100 foot setback required in the R-1 Residential District. o That Section 9.21.04 (Shoreland Overlay District Development Standards) establishes a minimum lot size of 80,000 square feet for lots located in the shoreland overlay area of a Natural Environment Water. 9. That the proposed lot to be platted as L.P. Keillor Addition by the Applicant will be 110,499 square feet in size. 10. That the combination of the 200 foot setback from the Rogers Lake OHW and the setback from the County road eliminates any possibility for a building pad on the Subject Property, even though the Subject Property exceeds the minimum lot size by approximately 30,500 square feet. 11. That Rogers Lake extends into the communities of Burns and Oak Grove and those communities have classified Rogers Lake as a Recreational Development Water for which the structure setback from OHW is 100 feet. 12. That the City is currently in the process of updating Chapter 9 (Zoning and Subdivision of Land) of the City Code and Staff will propose that Rogers Lake be reclassified as a Recreational Development Water with a structure setback from OHW of 100 feet, and will also propose to eliminate the 50 foot setback requirement from a County Road and maintain the standard established in the R-1 Residential District of 60 feet from the centerline of County road right-of-way plus the local applicable setback. 13. That the Applicant has provided the City with an exhibit produced by the U.S. Geological Survey that seems to reflect that the existing homes around the lake in Ramsey, Burus and Oak Grove are less than 100 feet from the shoreline of Rogers Lake; the scale of the image and the OHW is not identified on the exhibit and therefore this information cannot be verified. 14. That based on the U.S. Geological Survey image, the Applicant is requesting a variance to construct a home on the Subject Property that will be 75 feet from the OHW, comparable to existing homes around the lake.
