APPLICATION FOR RESIDENTIAL <br />PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (Cont) <br />56 LITTLE CANADA ROAD <br />LITTLE CANADA, MINNESOTA <br />Salient Factors in Support of Granting Developer's Request. <br />The subject property currently has a "cottage" type of structure and a 2 -stall detached garage. <br />Although it would appear that this building is subject to the so called "grandfather" protection <br />as to deficiencies, it is very old, outdated, and room sizes (Below UBC) do not permit FHA fi- <br />nancing. Moreover, the building sets well below the street level of Little Canada road and pre- <br />sents a hazard for the occupants to enter upon this highway due to lack of vision concerning <br />on coming automobiles and trucks. <br />The existing cottage could hardly be considered the highest and best use of the property. From <br />the standpoint of the City of Little Canada (the FLEXPLEXTM design by Thomas Homes would <br />not only correct the traffic issue but FLEXPLEXTM Plans offer 40' set back; turn -a -round park- <br />ing on site; and, elevating the site grade to that of Little Canada Road). Clearly, the tax bene- <br />fits to the city for a $550,000 property is nearly six (6) times that of the existing, dated struc- <br />ture. <br />As stated previously, FLEXPLEXTM contemplates ownership by individuals 55 and over. To <br />that end, Thomas Homes, Inc. would be willing to so deed the property if its application <br />were to be passed. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit Description of Exhibit <br />1/8"=1'-0" Site Plan of Subject Property <br />Architectural Site Plan of Subject Property <br />Architectural Design of Tri-Plex <br />Elevation & Floor Plan of Mount Rushmore Collection Tri-Plex <br />Elevation & Floor Plan of Jefferson EX 2000 Sq Ft two story -walkout residence <br />Elevation & Floor Plan of Roosevelt 1250 Sq Ft upper level residence <br />Elevation & Floor Plan of Lincoln EX 2300 Sq Ft single level -walkout <br />4 <br />
