BURKE LANE ALTERNATIVE The Burke Lane Alternative provides for the extension of Burke Lane east to Country Drive and north to Yorkton Way. This extension will permit street service to property south of Burke Lane as well as a connection to the Yorkton neighborhoods. The Yorkton Way extension permits further single family residential development and a convenient connection to Condit Road. Condit Road terminates on the south end to permit street service to existing residential property and allows for the elimination of existing Condit Road and Nadeau Road right -of -ways. Overall, the proposed street system improves traffic circulation within the neighborhood with minimal changes required to implement the revisions. Single Family Residential zoning is proposed for properties west of Condit Road. Condit Road right -of -way and a commercial Planned Unit Development Zone are intended to provide a transition from residential to commercial land use. The property south of the Burke Lane extension is proposed as a Residential - Business zone. Considerations associated with implementation of the Burke Lane Alternative are summarized below: i. To accomplish the extension of Burke Lane, it may be possible to swap the vacated right -of -way of Nadeau Road for the proposed Burke Lane right -of -way. The affected property owners may perceive advantages to combining their parcels to create a larger piece of real estate for redevelopment. 2. If appropriate, the redevelopment of property east of the present Condit Road could be pursued on a phased basis. With the proposed extension of Burke Lane, it is possible that two related or unrelated projects can be pursued for development on either side of Burke Lane. 3. Among the alternatives, the least number of cul -de -sacs are proposed by the Burke Lane Alternative. It is possible that the cul -de -sac on the south end of Condit Road could be eliminated if the existing parcel at the southwest intersection of Condit and Nadeau Roads were acquired and removed. At that point, the undeveloped lots along the north side of the existing Burke Lane could be re- subdivided, all having frontage on Burke Lane. 4. The commercial Planned Unit Development zoning for property north of the Burke Lane extension allows the City of Little Canada and future developer the maximum degree of site plan flexibility. Given the interests of existing property owners and the desires of the City of Little Canada to seek high quality development for this visible site, a flexible zoning approach is appropriate. In this way, all interests can be considered and resolved through the development process. Page 51
