2 City Council City of Little. Canada Re..; Street plan - Section 5 PLAN C- Continued However, depending on the size of various industrial tracts these could be shortened considerably %. There ts, als.o the possibility of these streets remaining private as in a PUD. PLAN D Plan "D" shows a configuration of streets as envisioned by a developer who was present at the meeting of April 3, 1985. This developer owns or controls the Sweitzer property shown on the map but he has also included property south of this. His proposal is the property lying south of Allen Ave. We have merely completed the same pattern north of Allen Ave. None of the plans have included the property of Jacqueline Nadeau. This property has alreadybeen decimated by the NSP easement to the point that there is little left to be developed. The area within the easement can still be used for raising crops, playing baseball or parking trucks. All of the plans show a street to be built on Allen Ave. This is not entirely necessary except for the fact that there is sanitary sewer, watermain and a County ditch. These very important utilities would have to be protected by a substantial easement, probably 40 to 50 feet, hence the street. As pointed out in the beginning of this letter, all of the plans shown follow existing property lines. If this property were controlled by one or possibly two owners, these property lines would be erased and a far different plan could be used. The City Planner has already drawn such plans which are probably more satisfactory than we have shown, but would required action by the City to accomplish. Our experience has been that it is either difficult or impossible to get complete cooperation of individual land owners as evidenced by the Payne Avenue -Allen Avenue development.
