Fax 651.463.2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission FROM: Lee Smick, City Planner ~---- AICP, CNU-Accredited ~ SUBJECT: Variance(s) request to split property into 1.91 acre site - Malszycki 19585 Flagstaff Avenue Variance to split property into 1.91 acre site - Pelach 19867 Flagstaff DATE: March 9,2010 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission has reviewed and approved the Malszycki lot split of two 1.0 acres home sites at the meeting on August 11, 2009; however, the applicant has decided to acquire more land from the grandmother (Pelach) in order to establish two 1.91 acre home sites on Flagstaff Avenue. The applicant, Doug Malszycki, proposes to request approval of two of the following variances. The first request consists of a variance from the minimum lot size requirement in the Agricultural Zoning District (A-I) to subdivide an existing 10-acre parcel to one buildable parcel consisting of approximately 1.91 acres. The remaining acreage would contain Malszycki's existing home (Exhibit A & B). The minimum lot size in the A-I zoning district is 40 acres. The second variance is to split off 1.91 acres from 68.01 acres on the Mildred Pelach property, the grandmother of the sons of the applicant for which the lot splits are intended for. PLANNING DIVISION REVIEW Applicant: Doug Malszycki 19585 Flagstaff Avenue Farmington, MN 55024 Property Location: 19585 Flagstaff Avenue and 19867 Flagstaff Avenue Existing Lot Size: 10 acres and 68.01 acres Proposed Lots after Subdivision: Two 1.91 acres home sites Existing Zoning: A-I (Agriculture District) 2030 Comprehensive Plan: Agricultural Existing Land Use: Single Family Dwelling and Agricultural Uses Surrounding Land Uses: Agricultural Uses DISCUSSION Staff is suggesting that upon approval of the variance, that access from the two 1.91 acre parcels be combined into one access to reduce the amount of accesses onto Flagstaff A venue. That access would be located 627.93 feet south of the E1I4 corner of Sec 22/intersection of 195th Street. Because the proposed driveway is located near the 660-foot mark where a future local street may be located, staff is recommending that the owners of the two Parcels discuss the location of their new homes with the Planning staff before submitting a building permit request in order to allow the right-of-way for a future local street if desired by the City. Nonconforming Parcel The minimum lot size requirement for properties within the A-I District was amended in May of 2002. The previous minimum lot area requirement was one (1) acre and was changed to 40 acres. The applicant is requesting to split 10 and 68.01 acres, which requires a variance to the lot standards in the A-I Zoning District. The Board of Adjustment may vary the regulations of this Title if the following requirements are met: 1. Because the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the regulations of this Title would cause undue hardship. Economic consideration alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of this Title. The City Code was amended in May of 2002 to increase the minimum lot area requiredfor properties in the A-1 Districtfrom one (1) acre to 40 acres. If the Code amendment had not occurred, the applicants could proceed with a plat and be in complete compliance with the Zoning Code. The amendment to the code, therefore, may have caused undue hardship to the applicant. 2. The conditions upon which a variance is based are unique to the parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other properties within the same zoning classification. When the City Code was amended to increase the mmzmum lot size in the A-1 District. several properties became nonconforming. The majority of properties in the A-I District;, however do comply with the minimum lot size thus creating a similar situation to the applicants for only a minority of property owners in the A-I District. 3. The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Title and has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the parcel of land. The hardship. if determined by the Planning Commission to exist, was not created by the applicants or any other person having an interest in the property. 4. The granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality or be injurious to other property in the vicinity in which the parcel of land is located or substantially diminish property values. Granting the variance to create two 1. 91-acre parcels would not alter the character of the area or have a negative impact on other property in the vicinity. 5. The proposed variance will not substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or be detrimental to the public welfare or public safety. The proposed variance would not result in any of the above mentioned adverse effects. 6. The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship. The Planning Commission must determine whether granting a variance to create two 1.91 acre parcels is the minimum variance that would eliminate the potential hardship. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend approval of the variance to allow the creation of two 1.91 acre lots on the property at 19585 Flagstaff Avenue and 19867 Flagstaff Avenue with the following condition; 1. A combined driveway access is required from the two 1.91 acre properties in order to reduce the number of accesses on Flagstaff Avenue. 2. Staff is recommending that the owners of the two Parcels discuss the location of their new homes with the Planning staff before submitting a building permit request in order to allow the right-of-way for a future local street if desired by the City.
