PLANNING REPORT TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Ken Roberts/Stephen Grittman DATE: 5 May 1988 RE: David Wright Subdivision FILE NO: 758.09 - 87.19 BACKGROUND Mr. David Wright has filed an application for a simple lot split for the property at 2985 Vanderbie Street in Little Canada. The lot in question is Lot 2 of Block 3 of Gervais Heights Addition and is near the corner of Allan Avenue and Vanderbie Street. The property in question is zoned R -1, Single Family Residential and is shown in Exhibit A. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS The lot split being proposed requires the dedication of the remainder of the street width to serve the access needs of the proposed lots. As 30 feet has already been provided, 20 feet of additional right -of way is necessary. One problem with this proposal is that Lot 1 at the corner of Allan and Vanderbie was previously divided but the street right -of -way was not dedicated. Exhibit B shows the approved subdivision of Lot 1 <2995 Vanderbte Street). The 30 foot right -of -way across the rear of Lot ! is necessary to provide in part adequate access to the proposed new parcel. It is suggested to ensure adequate street access is provided to the proposed new lot, a restriction by deed or covanent be placed on the new lot by the City. The restriction would be such that no building permit would be granted for the new lot prior to complete City street access being provided for the lot. This will require a full 50 foot of street right -of -way from Allan Avenue and the construction of the roadway. 4601 excelsior blvd., ste. 410, minneapolis, mn 55416 (612) 925 -9420 Page 20
