Item 9 -Exceptions to Lot Area Definitions
Planning Director Daryl Morey presented an ordinance amending Section
1 1-17-21 of the Lakeville City Code concerning exceptions to lot area
definitions for unsewered single family lots. He explained that the
amendment is being requested by a property owner who wants to
administratively subdivide his unsewered 23-acre parcel into two parcels.
Because the property includes a large wetland, the two proposed parcels
would not technically meet the minimum 10 acre lot area requirement.
The proposed amendment will alleviate the apparent hardship caused by
the strict application of the regulations to unsewered parcels, while
maintaining the benefits of requiring larger lot sizes for unsewered parcels.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the ordinance
amendment and unanimously recommended approval.
