NC NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN - MARKET RESEARCH MEMORANDUM RECEIVED MAR - 8 2,Q3 TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: March 7, 2000 RE: Little Canada - Masterpiece Homes - Park Place PUD FILE NO: 758.09 - 00.06 Masterpiece Homes has submitted preliminary plat and final plat drawings for the "Park Place" townhome development at Little Canada Road and Jackson Street. The plat consists of 22 units in eleven twin home buildings. As noted in the concept plan review, the project also proposes to dedicate about 2.75 acres (more than 35 %) for park along Jackson Street. A small portion of this area would be used for ponding. A new cul -de -sac from Little Canada Road would provide access to 14 of the units, with the other 8 units having direct access to Jackson Street. The project is being proposed as a Planned Unit Development. Therefore, the following processing is necessary: Rezoning to R -2, to allow the twinhome unit style. Conditional Use Permit for a PUD, to allow the unit arrangements with association - owned common area. Preliminary Plat and Final Plat, to approve the lot, street, and park land descriptions. Associated with the Plat is a vacation of five foot wide strip of Jackson Street along the boundary of the plat. Rezoning. Zoning map amendments are reviewed for their consistency with the City's Land Use Plan, and compatibility with the existing and future land uses in the area. In this case, the City has considered that a boundary between commercial and residential development would occur along the Little Canada Road corridor. Residential land uses would be mid - density in nature, due to the surrounding mix of high- density, low density, and commercial uses. The project would be consistent with the land use plan in this regard. 5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, S. PHONE 612-595-9636 FAX f rrr Page 5 ' ^'JIS PARK, MINNESOTA 55416 -MAIL NAC © WINTERNET.COM
