PLANNING REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: RE: FILE NO: BACKGROUND northwest Essoc ted consultants, inc. Little Canada Planning Commission Stephen Grittman 9 June 1987 Senty Lot Split 758.09 - 87.35 Mr. Thomas Senty has applied for a lot split of his property at 3007 Arcade Street. As shown on the attached survey, an existing house is located on the proposed Tract A. The proposed lot line would be 11 feet from the house, in excess of the 10 foot require- ment. The proposed lots will have 150 and 96 feet of frontage with 23,760 square feet and 15,200 square feet of area, respectively. All dimensions exceed R -1 standards. It is also noted that adequate area exists on Tract A to create an additional lot. One issue raised as a result of this proposal is the future extension of Allan Avenue from Greenbrier to Arcade as proposed in the Al1Qn Avenue Area Plan. Aligning the future Allan Avenue to the north would allow the current split to proceed, but would cause an undesirable jog in alignment with Westwind Drive. An alignment to the south would preclude this development as the proposed lot does not have adequate width to provide even 25 feet for half of the dedication. In conjunction with the processing of this subdivision, the City needs to decide upon the desired location of Allan and require the dedication to avoid costly right -of -way ac- quisition at some future date. As noted above, if the alignment of Allan goes to the south, there is room to allow a split on the north portion. Such a plan is illus- trated in Exhibit C. RECOMMENDATION We recommend approval of a subdivision of the Senty property, the location of which depends upon the resolution of the Allan Avenue alignment, the final configuration resembling either the applicant's proposal (Exhibit B), or the alternate Exhibit C. This recommendation is also contingent upon the provision of drainage and utility Page 52 4601 excelsior blvd., ste. 410, minneapolis, mn 55416 (61 2) 925 -9420
