Little Canada Planning Commission Little Canada Mayor and City Council 3 July 1984 Page Three 2.. Lots. As mentioned above, the four lots at the intersection of Allen Avenue and Thunder Bay Road should be adjusted to increase their lot area to 11,000 square feet. Should the Park Commission choose land for park dedication, the lots in Block 2 will need to be adjusted to meet lot area requirements. 3. Streets. The proposed plat is not very specific in regard to the construction of Allen Avenue. It will be necessary for Allen Avenue to be completed through to either Payne or Greenbriar. If a temporary cul -de -sac is required on one end of Allen Avenue, it must be constructed to City Code. (Gravel dumped outside the curb as was done in Sylvan Estates is not an acceptable cul -de -sac.) The Allen Avenue Area Plan includes an east -west road north of Lot 1, Block 1, linking Thunder Bay Road with a future road to the west. While construction of this road need not take place now, an easement should be provided. Subsequently, Lot 1, Block 1 will be considered a corner lot and should be increased to 11,000 square feet. The City Council may want to consider extending Thunder Bay Road further south. The road is proposed at approximately 390 feet and cul -de -sacs are allowed up to 500 feet in length. This extension would provide access to land between LaBore Road and the proposed plat which would otherwise be land- locked. 4. Utilities. Locations of proposed sewer lines and water mains should be included and subject to review of the City Engineer. In addition, utility easements should be designated along the perimeter of all lots. RECOMMENDATION The proposed plat is consistent with desires for residential development in this area of the City. The design, with a few minor changes, is an acceptable alternative to the Allen Avenue Area Plan. We recommend approval of the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: 1. The subdivision is given an appropriate name. 2. Corner lots are designed to increase lot area to 11,000 square feet. 3. Park Commission recommendations for park land dedication. 4. Interior lots are adjusted appropriately for the above changes. • d7
