PLANNING REPORT nni thwect assocIEted consul ants, T0: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Steve Grittman DATE: 13 May 1987 RE: David Wright Subdivision FILE NO: 758.09 - 87.19 BACKGROUND In 1976, David Wright initiated a series of lot splits and a partial street dedi- cation in the area of Allan Avenue between Vanderbie and DeSoto Streets. The applicant now wishes to divide another lot which will front on the partially dedi- cated street (see Exhibit A). ANALYSIS The lot split being proposed requires the dedication of the remainder of the street width. As 30 feet has already been provided, 20 feet of additional right -of -way is necessary. One problem is that Lot 1 at the corner of Allan and Vanderbie was divided but the right -of -way was not dedicated. Exhibit C shows the approved sub- division of Lot 1, Exhibit D is a copy of the minutes from the Council on April 23, 1975 which lists the requirement that "30 feet is allowed for the future street ". While the 30 foot reservation was required, a dedication of the right -of -way was apparently not filed. This right -of -way is necessary to provide adequate access to •the proposed new parcel. As demonstrated by the section maps, the applicant, Mrs. Philip Johnson, intended to comply with the City's request as the lot was recorded as the west 130 feet of Lot 1, Block 3, changed from the original application of 120 feet. The aerial photos, as well as site inspections indicate that adequate room has been reserved for the road. A letter has been sent to the affected property owners indicating the City's intent to require dedication of the street. All proposed lots are of adequate area and width. Subject to acquisition of the street right -of -way, the subdivision proposal meets City requirements. RECOMMENDATION �n Page 61
