providing future access to unplatted land. Outlot C sits at the easternmost part of the plat, and would be conveyed to the neighbors at 2971 Labore to accommodate an existing driveway encroachment. The proposed plat would dedicate a new street that intersects with Labore Road directly across from Cherry Hill Lane, which serves the Gervais Woods neighborhood to the south. Under the proposed plat arrangement, the current road easement would be vacated. The proposed street is called Pinetree Court, and would create a large circular cul -de -sac around a planted area and stormwater pond. The length of the street is approximately 450 feet from Labore Road to the "throat" of the cul -de -sac circle. The circle itself is about 500 feet in length, measured along the centerline. There are two stormwater infiltration basins shown on the plat. One is within the circle, about 5 -6 feet in depth. The second is located in the side yards between Lots 10 and 11, Block 2, about 4 -5 feet in overall depth. 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. As proposed, all performance requirements appear to be met. Density. The proposed density for the site is approximately 2.03 units per acre. As such, the proposed density for the R -1 plat is consistent with the land use plan. The site is surrounded by R -1 zoning and large single family parcels, and appears to maintain a compatible land use pattern with the existing and /or future land use of the surrounding area. Access. Proposed streets contain a 50 foot right of way, consistent with the Subdivision Ordinance, while the streets themselves are proposed to be 31.5 feet in width, measured from the back of the curb. At the entrance to the subdivision from Labore Road, the street section would be 45 feet wide, include in internal island in the 2 13 Required Proposed Lot Area 11,000 sq ft 12,500 sq ft corner 11,052 sq ft min. 24,705 sq. ft max. 16,402 sq ft average Lot Width 85 ft 100 ft corner 85 ft + —125 ft + corner Front Yard Setback 30 ft 30 ft Side Yard Setback 10 ft 30 ft abutting ROW 10 ft 30 ft abutting ROW Rear Yard Setback 30 ft 30 ft min.
