Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council 3 May 1982 Page Two The Allen Avenue Area Plan concept that was approved has made no provisions• for pedestrian ways through the longer blocks in this area of the City. The subdivision provision addressing pedestrian easements through the longer blocks places the requirement of such easements at the discretion of the City. Since the provision for an Allen Avenue connection from Payne Avenue eastward into the adjoining area was achieved in the Allen Avenue Area Plan, the need for such a pedestrian easement is not viewed as being critical. Lots All new lots proposed in the Jespersen's Estates Plat meet the minimum lot area, width and setback requirements established within the "R -1" zoning district of the Little Canada Zoning Ordinance. The remaining balance of Parcels 120.02 and 260.02 also each have sufficient area and width to comply with the current City standards (see Exhibit 0). The balance of Parcel 260.02 after the subdivision, creates a long narrow parcel. The Allen Avenue Area Plan encourages long narrow parcels of land to be combined to create new parcels that can be subdivided into buildable lots that meet the current City Ordinances. The Area Plan (see Exhibit E) suggests that the eastern portion of Parcel 260.02 should be combined with Parcel 013.04 located to the east to create a tract of land that can be replatted into lots that meet the current standards. Mr. Jespersen owns both of these parcels and by combining them he will have sufficient area to accommodate another tier of lots and the necessary street right -of -way for the cul -de -sac as proposed in the Allen Avenue Area Plan. For the convenience of Mr. Jespersen in the future subdivision of Parcel 013.04 and the eastern portion of Parcel 260.02, we suggest that the eastern portion of Parcel 260.02 be nlade•an outlot as shown in Exhibit D. This will simplify combining the two parcels and allow Mr. Jespersen to sell Lot 10 as shown on Exhibit D prior to subdividing the balance of his property. Streets All lots in the Jespersen Estates Subdivision have direct access to Payne Avenue and the plat is consistent with the street system of the Allen Avenue Area Plan. The County Plat Map (see Exhibit B) indicates that Payne Avenue has a 33 foot right -of -way easement along Jespersen Estates. This right -of -way easement is reduced to 10 feet for the south 220 feet of Payne Avenue, beginning at the LaBore Road intersection. The easement reduction was made to accommodate the location of Mr. Jespersen's house located on Parcel 120.02. The proposed plat indicates a 30 foot street right -of -way along Jespersen Estates. The right -of -way re- duction to 30 feet is necessary to allow for two tiers of lots that meet the current City ordinances. The provided 30 foot street right -of -way along with the required 6 foot utility easement along the front of the newly created lots is sufficient for the new residential development. 10
