Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission 2 May 1984 Page Two It was also agreed that the two existing residential structures would continue to be treated and classified as legal nonconforming uses and buildings. As such, if they were distroyed or damaged to an extent equal to 50 percent or more of their value, they could not be replaced. Further- more, the two residential structures could not be altered in use in any fashion without Council approval and PUD amendment. The only other stipulation which we would suggest is a modification of parking immediately adjacent to Little Canada Road. This matter has been discussed generally with Mr. Kimmes, but at the time of this report, the proposals have not been discussed in detail with him. The parking proposal which we would offer is that at minimum, the two easterly spaces for the triplex be oriented into the driveway and not the street (see Attachment D). If an agreement can be reached with the neighbor to the west, a similar arrangement should be implemented for the two westerly parking spaces. Drainage questions have been referred to the City Engineer for comment. RECOMMENDATION Given the above considerations, we believe the increased inside storage is of benefit to the area in which the property is located. Also, the proposed use restrictions offer the City a long term resolution of sub- standard sized lot development and work toward an eventual improvement of the sites in question and area as a whole. Based upon these factors and opinions, we recommend approval of the PUD rezoning request subject to the following: 1. Entering into a PUD agreement which stipulates: a. The parcels are hereinafter to be treated as one lot and when present financial limitations are eliminated, action is taken to formally combine the parcels (a registered land survey and appropriate papers are to be prepared at this time and made part of the PUD agreement.) b. The two residential structures are to be treated and governed as legal nonconforming uses. These structures are not to be altered in size or use without City Council approval and formal PUD amendment. 94
