NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 8 January 1981 RE: Fireside Homes FILE NO: 758.09 - 80.20 Based upon their meeting with the Planning Commission, the representatives of Fireside Homes have resubmitted plans for development of their property on the south side of County Road D (see NAC staff report dated 30 October 1980 for background). The attached exhibit is a reduced copy of the site plan submitted. In a phone conversation with Vince Douglas, he indicated that they are now proposing a density of five units per acre. Although not specified on the site plan, it is assumed that the structures being proposed are two - family dwellings. Given the details of the plans, it is further assumed that the developer is attempting to gain additional input from the City prior 10 preparation of specific site plans. While we do not feel an extensive review is necessary at this time, the following brief comments are presented: 1. The cul-de -sac street is shown as 660 feet in length with a turn - around radius of 40 feet. The Subdivision Ordinance requires a maximum length of 500 feet and a minimum turn - around radius of 60 feet. 2. Only half a street has been provided. It is assumed that the developer is working with adjacent lard owners to provide a full width street. 3. The lot detail appears to provide parking spaces in excess of three spaces per unit. If garages are to be included, the actual amount of pavement may be able to be reduced. 4. Driveways are shown at 30 feet in width. The Zoning Ordinance requires a maximum of 24 feet. 5. Twenty -seven structures are proposed, resulting in a total number of 54 units (9 lots x 3 structures = 27 x 2 units = 54 units). 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite Solis, mn 55416 612/925-9420
