NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: James Vick DATE: 29 June 1983 RE: Ducharme Subdivision FILE NO: 758.09 - 83.31 BACKGROUND The property in question is located on the east 362.45 feet of the west 494.89 feet of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 8, Township 29, Range 22, Ramsey County, Minnesota, lying southerly of the center line of County Road B -2 and northerly of State Trunk Highway No. 36. Proposed is a plat of the subdivision of the Gerald Ducharme parcel into three lots. Accompany- ing the subdivision is the dedication of a street partly on the property of Gerald Ducharme and partly on the property of Mrs. Clara Ducharme. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS Following is a list of check points to evaluate the proposal: Lot Size and Dimensions. The area is zoned "R -1 ", single family residential. Dimensions of the proposed lots meet all requirements of this district as specified by the Zoning Ordinance. It is suggested that lot 2 have its access on the new proposed street. Street Dedication and Improvements. The street as proposed in the plat does not meet the standards specified in Section 1006.030 part b of the Subdivision Ordinance. The Ordinance requires a right -of -way radius of not less than 60 feet for a cul -de -sac. The proposed radius is only 50 feet. The street is proposed to remain unimproved at this time. This seems to be a feasible alternative until future development is proposed on the south end of the property. In such a situation, Mr. Ducharme and the owner of the northerly lot abutting the new street should be required to have an agreement on main- tenance and snowplowing of the drive until such a point as the street is improved. Park Dedication. Park dedication or a cash contribution in lieu of dedica- tion of land should be considered by the Park Commission. 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mil 55416 612/925-9420
