Little Canada Planning Commission, . Mayor and City Council 26 March 1982 Page Two We still feel that the proposed R -2 rezoning is acceptable, as long as all three lots are rezoned. We have suggested to the Borgs that they contact the property owner to the south to see if he is willing to have his property rezoned at this time. While Mr. Borg has sub- mitted a letter to the City, dated 22 March 1982, which states that his neighbor does not object, we have asked for something in writing from the other owner. If for some reason the other owner is unwilling to have his lot re- zoned, it is suggested that the City approve the Borg application at this time. With respect to the adjoining owner, the City will have given him a reasonable opportunity for equal treatment. Ideally, however, he will consent or even desire to have his pro- perty rezoned. 2. Access. Since Jackson Street is scheduled for construction by the City, the issue of access to Mr. Borg's south lot is no longer a concern. 3. Utilities. Utilities will be installed with the Jackson Street construction. The City Engineer should comment as to utility service - extension for a triplex as opposed to a single family dwelling (e.g., necessity for larger pipe, separate meters, etc.). B. Proposed Site Plan. The applicant has submitted construction drawings for the proposed triplex. These should be subject to review and approval by the City Building Official. Exhibit E illustrates how the applicant intends to place the building and parking area(s) on the site. (Please note that we have added dimensions to the applicant's site sketch.) The property generally slopes from the north side toward the southeast corner. The applicant proposes to build the structure into the slope in the northwest corner of the site. According to the applicant, there is very little flexibility as far as where the house can be placed. While this does not create a problem as far setbacks, we have some con- cern about parking for the triplex. The applicant proposes a two car garage with two additional spaces in front of the garage. One additional space is provided on the side of the driveway. Additional parking is provided at the south end of the lot. No detail has been provided for the southerly parking area, since the applicant is unsure as to City requirements.
