ORDINANCE NO. 917
AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CONCERNING THE REDUCTION
IN LOT SIZE DUE TO STREET WIDENING
The Maplewood City Council approves the following revisionto the Maplewood Code of
Ordinances.
Section 1. Section 44-14 of the Maplewood Code of Ordinancesis hereby amended as
follows:
Sec. 44-14.Reductions in lot sizes and site development requirements due to
street widening.
Whenever the width of a street right-of-way is increased, which causes an abutting lot to
be made smaller than the regulations would allow, such lot shall not be considered to be
in violation of those governing regulations. Nor shall such a lot be considered to be in
violation of other site-related, dimensional or developmental requirements such as
building setbacks, parking lot setbacks, number of required parking spaces, freestanding
sign setback or similar requirements as determined by the city manager. Appeals of the
city manager’s decision shall be reviewed by the city council.
These allowances shall apply as long as the subject property complied with lot size and
development-related design requirements prior to the street widening.
The minimum setbacks for unimproved lots abutting a street which is widened,shall be
calculated to be the setback distance required by ordinance minus the reduction in lot
depth caused by the street widening.
The Maplewood City Council approved this ordinance on November 28, 2011.
