23 <br />Figure 4: Aerial of Proposed Plan for Edgerton/Country Rd D/Allen Ave <br />Focus Area: Edgerton/Country Road D/ <br />Allen Ave. <br />This area,one of the largest remaining <br />undeveloped parts of Little Canada,consists of an <br />active farming operation and a few scattered single <br />family homes.To the east are deep single family <br />lots,while to the west is an area of industrial and <br />small office uses. <br />The property is divided by an easement corridor <br />for a pair of major power lines more than 200 feet <br />in width. The City has been actively developing a <br />trail system following the power lines, but which <br />terminates at Edgerton Street. The extension of <br />the trail corridor would be expected to connect the <br />existing trail to Pioneer Park, the City’s largest <br />active park facility southwest of the subject <br />property. <br />The concept sketch shown to the left <br />anticipates dividing the land uses along the <br />power line easement, retaining residential <br />uses to the south and industrial uses to the north, relying on the broad easement and trail corridor to buffer the <br />two uses. To the south of the power line, residential uses are shown. Along the south and east boundary of the <br />property is shown a single family neighborhood, perhaps of moderately sized parcels, with medium density <br />residential to the west. <br />For the residential area, about 55 units are shown on the 11 acres of net developable area – meeting the <br />objectives for 5 units per acre. On the industrial side of the line, the sketch illustrates up to 135,000 square feet <br />of manufacturing space, an area that might be anticipated to employ at many as 500 employees. One of the <br />challenges for the residential portion of the district will be coordinating potential access to the west side of the <br />deep parcels fronting Edgerton.
