PLANNING REPORT nortcwe&t Essociated consultants, inc. T0: Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor & City Council FROM: DATE: RE: FILE NO: Tom Goodrum /Steve Grittman December 4, 1987 Little Canada - Buche 3 - Lot Subdivision 758.09 - 87.67' BACKGROUND A registered land survey has been submitted for a subdivision request. Patricia Buche wishes to subdivide her property into three (3) lots. The proposed pro- perty is approximately 49,890 square feet and is located at the corner of Morrison Street and 6th Avenue. (Attachment A). ISSUES AND ANALYSIS The proposed subdivision will consist of three out lots all fronting Morrison Street. The proposed lots are all in conformance with the minimum area require- ments of the R -1 District (10,000 square feet - interior lots; 11,000 square feet - corner lots). The proposed lots also maintain the required lot width which are; 75 feet interior and 80 feet for corner lots. Section 1006.030. Streets and Alleys of the Little Canada Subdivision Ordinance requires a street right -of -way width of 50 feet for single family residential local streets platted and /or dedicated after October 1, 1981. 6th Avenue, which abuts the property along its southern edge, has a street width of 30 feet. In speaking to the City Engineer, Don Carley, our office was told that there are no plans for the expansion of 6th Avenue and that a street dedication of 20 feet would not be necessary from the Buche property. In the event that 6th Avenue would be vacated, the disposing of the vacated land shall be determined at that time. A park, land dedication of either a reasonable part of the land being subdivided or in lieu thereof a cash equivalent shall be determined by the City. Park land dedication shall follow the guidelines set with Section 1007 of the Subdivision Ordinance. 4601 excelsior blvd., ste. 410, minneapolis, mn 55416 (612) 925 -9420 Page 34
