U R O A N P L A N N I N G • O E S I G N • M A R K E T R E S E A R C H MEMORANDUM TO: Joel Hanson FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: 1 February 1995 RE: Little Canada - Australian Cul -de -sac Locations FILE NO: 758.10 t6 Fnctosed are drawings which illustrate the impacts of the Australian Avenue cul- de-sac on the Morelan, Magnuson, and Tima properties. Drawing No. 1 shows the cul- de-sac located only on the Australian Avenue right - of-way and Morelan's property. The resulting split for Morelan leaves adequate room for setbacks, and a buildable area which could accommodate a 76 foot long by 26 foot wide house, with an attached double (or even triple) garage. The drawback for this design is a slight limitation on housing styles for the Morelan property. Drawing No. 2 is an example of such a building pad. Drawing No. 3 shows the cul- de-sac moved west to avoid location on the Morelan property. This plan shows the cul-de -sac on the Magnuson and Tina properties. Magnusons would lose some land to the cul-de -sac, but would still meet required setbacks. Tima could subdivide as shown, or the line between Tima's lots could be moved farther north. Morelan's only impact would be a small corner of setback area from the Australian cul-de -sac. On this drawing, Morelan's split line could be moved farther south if desired. All drawings are based on a 35 foot radius for the Australian Ave. cul -de -sac right -of -way; no determination of the vacation of Jackson Street (although I assume it would be done to some extent; resulting 10 foot setbacks from the railroad and the (former) Jackson Street right -of -way. Let me know if you need anything further in this regard. 5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 Page 43
