PLANNING REPORT TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Anne Bronken DATE: 3 May 1983 RE: Dupre Townhouses - Subdivision and CUPs FILE NO: 758.09 - 83.17 BACKGROUND: A request has been filed to combine Lots 4 and 5 of Block 1 of the Trowbridge Addition located on Demont Avenue (see Site Location Map, attached). The applicant is proposing to build two townhouse structures with four units each. The property is zoned R -2, Medium Density Residential, in which multiple -unit structures of four units or less are a conditional use. The proposal for two structures on one lot also requires a Planned Unit Development CUP. All the surrounding property is zoned B -3. The surrounding land uses include single family residential on the east, vacant land to the north, commercial uses and parking to the west and a trailer court south of Demont Avenue. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development is exactly consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the area which proposes medium density residential in the same location. It is intended to be a transitional use between the low density residential use to the east and the commercial uses to the west and north. Subdivision. The proposed combination of lots meets the size requirements of the R -2 district as follows: Minimum lot area Minimum lot width Requirement 15,000 sq.ft. 125 ft. Proposed 45,299 sq.ft. 196.61 sq.ft. The applicant will need to submit an actual surveyed plat showing existing and proposed lot lines for the purpose of filing. The plat should include all the informational requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. A utility and drainage easement of at least 6 feet will need to be added along the west boundary. If there is currently a easement along the center lot line, the plat should indicate that it is being vacated. page -14- 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925-9420
