NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. MEMORANDUM TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: James Vick DATE: 29 August 1983 RE: Ripke - Subdivision FILE NO: 758.09 - 83.36 BACKGROUND Melvin and Jean Ripke have proposed to combine their lots located on the 2500 block between Spruce and Sylvan Streets. The property is currently platted as 12 lots, each being 25' x 135'. The proposed subdivision will combine these lots into two parcels, one which will face Spruce Street, the other will face Sylvan Street. The new lots will be 150'x 135' each. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS The property in question is within the R -1 zoning district. The lot require- ments for the R -1 district are: Lot Area - Lot Width - 10,000 square feet 75 feet The proposed lots are 20,250 square feet in area and 150 feet wide, double the minimum requirement. The proposed subdivision is in conformance with City policy in that it is eliminating the nonconforming 25' x 135' lots. Section 1001.060 of the Subdivision Ordinance states: EXCEPTIONS. When requesting a subdivision, if the following condition exists, the City Clerk shall bring the request to the attention of the Planning Commission and City Council whereupon, the said request shall be reviewed and the City Council, following receipt of a recom- mendation from the Planning Commission, may relieve the subdivider from complying with any procedural requirements of this Ordinance that are deemed appropriate. (a) In the case of a request to divide a lot where the division is to permit the adding of a parcel of land to an abutting lot or to create two lots and the newly created property line will not cause the other remaining portion of the lot or any structure to be in violation with this Ordinance or the Zoning Ordinance. .. 02S 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925-9420
