ID MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Cynthia Putz -Yang / Stephen Grittman DATE: January 6, 2003 RE: Little Canada - Hamel Court Subdivision, Concept Plan FILE NO: 758.09 - 02.41 Three subdivision concept plans have been submitted for properties generally located on Twin Lake east of Twin Lake Road and south of Owasso Boulevard North. Two of the concept plans include land all the way north to Owasso Boulevard North, while one of the plans is more limited in size. Subdivision Area. The concept plans that include land all the way north to Owasso Boulevard North include Lot 3, Block 1 of Leibel's Twin Lake Addition. In 1989 the City approved the final plat for Leibel's Twin Lake Addition with a condition that future divisions of the property in question not be considered by the City. This was due to the limited amount of frontage the property had on Owasso Boulevard North. Concepts B -1 and B- 2 include dedication of a new street to provide access to the property from the south; therefore, we do not see a problem with including this property in the subdivision. If the smaller area, shown in Concept Plan A, is pursued for subdivision, right -of -way should extend to the north property line to allow for potential subdivision of the property to the north in the future. We do not have any information about the property east of Lot 3, Block 1, Leibel's Twin Lake Addition. If this property has sufficient area above the ordinary high water level to allow potential subdivision, a concept plan that allows potential street extension into this property is desirable. Concept B -1 includes a cul -de -sac turn- around adjacent to this property. Lot Areas and Widths. Twin Lake is classified as a Recreational Development Lake by the Department of Natural Resources. Lots with frontage on the lake (riparian) must be at least 20,000 square feet in area, and lots without frontage on the lake (non- riparian)
