NXC MEMORANDUM NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS COMMUNITY PLANNING - DESIGN - MARKET RESEARCH TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: May 11, 1999 RE: Little Canada - Twin Lake Estates 2nd Addition FILE NO: 758.09 - 99.14 Swift Construction has applied for a concept approval of Twin Lake Estates 2nd Addition, a five lot plat along Twin Lake Trail, and adjacent to the southwest shore of Twin Lake. The proposed subdivision would create five lots, one of which would have frontage on Twin Lake. The plat would also result in the development of Mitchell Trail, a short cul -de- sac street which was reserved when the lots to the north of the subject property were developed. Currently, access to lots north of the site utilized a private driveway over the Mitchell Trail right -of -way. This parcel was the subject of a subdivision a number of years ago in which two large parcels were split from the original 5 acre property. The owner had indicated at that time that they did not wish to further develop the property. Nonetheless, the City required that a 25 foot right -of -way was dedicated for Mitchell Trail, both to provide access to the parcels to the north, and for future street development in the event this land was proposed for subdivision. The 50 foot wide Mitchell Trail right -of -way includes 25 feet roadway easement from the and to the north, and a 25 foot wide dedication from the current and in question. A standard cul -de -sac will be required, and the benefitting parcels should share in the cost of improving the street. The City Engineer will provide additional information regarding utility issues. The shoreland overlay zoning will make additional requirements of the lot adjacent to Twin Lake. That parcel is required to contain 20,000 square feet of area, with 75 foot setbacks from the Ordinary High Water level. Other lots in the area of Twin Lake are required to contain 15,000 square feet. The proposal indicates lots that exceed the R -1 standard, but 5775 WAYZATA BOULEVARD. SUITE 555 ST.
