City of Little Canada, Minnesota Ordinance AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 1006.030 OF THE LITTLE CANADA CITY CODE, KNOWN AS THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE, BY PROVIDING FOR AMENDED REGULATIONS RELATING TO DEAD -END AND CUL -DE -SAC STREETS. The City Council of the City of Little Canada hereby ordains: Section 1. Section 1006.030 (b) is hereby amended to read as follows: (b) Local Streets and Dead -End Streets. Local streets should be planned so as to discourage their use by non -local traffic. Dead -end streets are prohibited, but cul -de -sacs shall be permitted where topography or other physical conditions justify their use. Except for "Temporary Cul -de- sacs" in Section 1006.030 (d), cul -de -sac streets chall not be longer than may be up to five hundred (500) feet in length, including a terminal turn- around which shall be provided at the closed end, with a right -of -way radius of not less than fifty (50) feet. Such distance shall be measured from the centerline intersection with the nearest street to the end of the cul -de -sac. The City reserves the right to require longer cul -de -sac lengths where additional natural resources will be preserved without negatively impacting public safety. This provision shall not be used solely to increase lot count in a subdivision. Section 2. Section 1006.030 (d) is hereby amended to read as follows: Temporary Cul -De -Sac. In those instances where a street is terminated pending future extension in conjunction with future subdivision, a temporary turn around facility shall be provided at the closed end, in conformance with cul -de -sac requirements for cul -de -sac radius. The City Council may exempt such temporary cul -de -sacs from the 500 foot length standard where the City Council has reasonable expectations for future connections. Section 3. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and publication.
