NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Planning Commission NOV 29 1983 FROM: Stephen Grittman CITY O F LITTLE CANADA DATE: 23 November 1983 RE: Little Canada Day Care Expansion - PUD Amendment FILE NO: 758.09 - 81.34 BACKGROUND Mr. Tom Krejci has applied for an amendment to the Planned Unit Development Agreement which governs the Little Canada Day Care. The existing agreement was drafted and passed in the spring of 1932 and included the existing build- ings with some renovation work, and future allowances for site work, additional parking, and a second story expansion of the existing day care portion of the structure. The amendment requests a single story, horizontal expansion of the day care instead. It is not clear from the submissions whether the second story expansion phase is still planned or if it has been dropped from the development. ANALYSIS The proposed expansion consists of 3,120 square feet of day care facility built adjacent to the eastern wall of the existing building. Day care facilities are a permitted use in this development, so the proposed use presents no conflict from a land use standpoint. The expansion would require an additional six parking spaces. Mr. Krejci has indicated that enough paved area exists in the existing 30 car lot for an additional row of stalls. This would allow for 12 more spaces, enough to account for the addition. Before final approval is given for this request, the applicant should be required to provide documentation that sufficient area is in fact already paved. The minimum width of the paved area would need to be 102 feet. The plan submitted shows approximately 60 feet width. RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend that approval be granted for the amendment to the Planned Unit Development. The following conditions should be placed on this approval: to Documentation must be provided in the form of a survey showing the size of the existing parking lot. The pavement must be 102 feet wide, measured north to south, to provide the additional parking required by the expansion. .11. 4 u • 1 V 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925-9420
