<br /> NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. <br /> __________________________________________________________________ <br /> 4150 Olson Memorial Highway, Ste. 320, Golden Valley, MN 55422 <br />Telephone: 763.957.1100 Website: www.nacplanning.com <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Little Canada Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Stephen Grittman <br /> <br />DATE: May 4, 2017 <br /> <br />RE: Little Canada – Winter Estates Townhome PUD <br /> <br />FILE NO: 758.09 – 17.01 <br /> <br /> <br />Background and Analysis <br /> <br />In previous versions of the plans for this project, the City has had comments relating to <br />the need for additional detail or resolution of specific issues prior to considering <br />Preliminary Plat approval. These were the outstanding issues at the time, with a <br />comment as to the status of each: <br /> <br />1. The building materials be specified to include LP siding around the sides and <br />back of the building. We have not received updated final building plans, but the <br />final PUD approval specified this and the units shown on the PUD drawings <br />included this notation. <br /> <br />2. The City Engineer reviews the infrastructure plans and find them consistent with <br />City requirements. The City Engineer has been working with the applicants on <br />engineering and will have separate review comments in this regard. <br /> <br />3. The circulation plan is revised to provide for adequate turn-around options at the <br />east end of the private roadway. The applicants have revised their site plan to <br />include a “hammer-head” turn around space at the end of the private street. It <br />would be important to post this area as “No Parking” to ensure that it remains <br />open and accessible to traffic and emergency vehicle circulation when needed. <br /> <br />4. The circulation plan is revised to provide for a minimum of 4 visitor parking stalls. <br />Such stalls must be screened from the residential property to the south. The <br />applicants have revised their roadway design to show a street width of 28 feet, <br />with on-street parking available for up to 6 vehicles along the north side of the
