I Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. C j U R B A N P L A N N I N G • D E S I G N • M A R K E T R E S E A R C H PLANNING REPORT TO: Little Canada Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: 10 October 1994 RE: Little Canada - Rossez /Rice Lot Line Adjustment FILE NO: 758.09 - 94.29 Mr. George Rossez and Mr. Todd Rice have applied for a subdivision which would split a ten foot wide strip of land from the Rice property and combine it with the Rossez property. This request raises the following potential issues: 1) Will the lots continue to meet required area and width standards after the subdivision? 2) Will all structures continue to meet required setbacks after the subdivision? 3) Will the subdivision result in the recombination so as to avoid a separately recorded ten foot wide lot? 4) How will the subdivision affect easements? The subdivision from the Rice property will leave 90 feet of the original 100 foot frontage on Australian, and give the Rossez property 60 feet of frontage. The parcels are each approximately 260 feet deep. The application did not provided information on setbacks to existing structures: According to the Zoning Ordinance, the new subdivision must result in setbacks for structures on each parcel equal to ten feet, unless the lots were built up prior to 1981, in which case the side yard setbacks may be reduced to five feet. The applicants will need to record the lot split and the recombination concurrently so as to avoid the possibility that the ten foot strip would have a separately recorded description. With regard to easements, the City Engineer has indicated that the subdivision should not affect drainage or utility issues in the area. As a result, easements should not be necessary in this situation. 5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 St. L 6 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 Page 65
