ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing 11 single family units on a 7.67 acre site. The plat includes six lots in block one, five lots in block two, and three outlots. The site is currently comprised of three parcels, two of which are within the City of Little Canada, totaling 5.42 acres. The southern triangular piece is within the City of Maplewood, totaling 2.24 acres. This piece contains a portion of four lots from Block 2, and the remainder has been designated as Outlot C. The homes in Block One will be located to the east of a north-south public street, Cherry Hill Lane. Outlots A and B are located to the west of Cherry Hill Lane. This street intersects with Woodland Drive, which is proposed to be a future outlet to the east and west. The homes in Block Two will be located to the south of Woodland Drive, along with Outlot C to be located to the south of the homes. A stormwater pond is proposed on Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block Two and crosses into the City of Maplewood. Two rain gardens are also proposed: one on the southern end of Outlot B, and the other on Lots 3 and 4, Block Two, completely within the City of Maplewood. The site is bordered by single family residential uses to the north, east, and west, and the City of Maplewood to the south. City of Maplewood. The City will need to coordinate with the City of Maplewood regarding the four lots proposed to be located in both jurisdictions. Issues revolving around plat approval, code enforcement, utility service, and taxes will need to be resolved through the Development Contract. The City's approval of a preliminary plat for these lots is conditional upon an agreement with Maplewood, since three of the lots would otherwise not meet the requirements of Little Canada's zoning ordinance. Lot Requirements and Setbacks. The underlying zoning of the site is R-1, Single Family Residential. The following chart illustrates the performance requirements for the R-1 District, as well as the minimum proposed for the project. Note: Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5, Block 2 are located within both the City of Little Canada and Maplewood. The building pads are proposed to be located entirely within the City of Little Canada, but the entire area of the lots has been used to calculate the lot area and setbacks.
