NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. PLANNING REPORT TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: David Licht DATE: 4 October 1983 RE: Picha Property Subdivision FILE NO: 758.09 - 83.42 BACKGROUND An application for subdivision sketch plan approval has been presented for the Picha property which fronts primarily on Greenbrier and also borders County Road D. The property is zoned R -1 and the use is presently limited to single family detached residential development. Under the proposed subdivision, Lots 6 and .7 are proposed for duplexes. The land in question at this point in time involves Parcel B and the seven lots depicted on Attachment B. Lot A was split from the balance of the site in late 1982. The plan which is presently before you for consideration is the proposed resubdivision drawing submitted as part of the 1982 application dealing with this property. DESIGN ANALYSIS The proposed lots 1 through 5 in question all conform to the lot size require- ments of the Little Canada R -1 zoning classification. From this standpoint, the request is acceptable. It is also felt that the duplex use is an accept- able situation bordering the power line. This is, however, qualified by the comments below relative to area circulation. Should duplexes be determined as appropriate, a rezoning to R -2 will be necessary. Due to the sketch plan status, the applicant has not supplied a significant amount of required preliminary plat information which makes it impossible at this point to evaluate the total acceptability of the request.
