David Licht 24 August 1983 Page Two 4. The developer is proposing a density of less than 4 units per acre which is consistent with density recommended by the Comprehensive Plan for this area of the City. 5. The site of the property would generate City revenue, plus the City tax base would increase with the development of this land. Design Review Review of the expansion schematic raises the following concerns (Exhibit A): Lot Width. A tier of 15 lots are proposed. Lots 1 -14 are to be single wide lots 50' x 140' and lot 15 is to be a double wide lot that is 100' x 100'. The pad areas for the mobile home unit on the single wide lots are 20' wide. Review of the provided photographs indicate that units cover the entire pad area. This suggests a mobile home unit in excess of 14' wide. The Little Canada Zoning Ordinance requires individual mobile home sites for units in excess of 14 feet in width to have a lot width of 65 feet. The lots as proposed are substandard by this standard. Cul -De -Sac. The proposed expansion area is to be served by a 24 foot street ending in a cul -de -sac that is approximately 1,000 feet in length. This design arrangement is totally unacceptable in that access to 15 units depends on one street outlet and a narrow street. The street layout is potentially dangerous from the position that it presents problems for access for emergency vehicles and overall circulation. If the City of Little Canada chooses to accommodate the applicant's request the following design alterations are recommended (Exhibit B): 1. All mobile home lots for mobile home units in excess of 14 feet in width shall have a minimum lot width of 65 feet. 2. The design layout for the expansion should be revised to provide an improved street system through the expansion area. A second street access from the north or east is suggested. cc: Joseph Chlebeck Ed Locke 0.3
