The land <br />to the north was zoned R-4 (f cur units per structure) and the land to the <br />south was zoned R -6 (a townhouse district) . <br />The plat approved at that time included. A cul-de-sac at the end of lone <br />Street which was originally platted with the single family homes fronting <br />on Hamline Avenue. The city Engineering Department at that time, <br />conducted a feasibility study for the construction of Ione Street <br />including the cul -de -sac on the property in questlon; Due to poor soil <br />conditions, it was determined that the construction of the cul -de -sac <br />and its utilities were economically unfeasible. Thus, the lard was not <br />developed under that plat as proposed in 1973. <br />2. A few months ago the applicant hired Pape Associates, architects to prepare <br />a revised development plan. The current plan proposes two single family <br />homes on the northerly portion zoned R -4 and a 12 unit structure on the <br />southerly portion zoned R -6, The applicant has submitted a request for a <br />Special Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development ( PUD) which would allow <br />for the spreading of the density, changing the plan from the original <br />18 units to be constructed on the site to a total of 14. Access is proposed <br />to the site by the extension of a cul,de -sac off Dellwood Avenue retaining <br />the existing right -of -way and adding a 120 foot diameter cul -de -sac for <br />the turn - around! The lots are platted so that each lot has frontage on <br />this proposed public street. <br />3. You will note from examining the attached reduced copies of the plat, <br />development plan, and the elevations of the structures, that the two single <br />family lots would have frontage on the westerly side of the cul -de -sac, <br />with lot areas exceeding the minimum 15,000 square feet required in the <br />R -4 District. The remaining parcel which exceeds 75,000 square feet in <br />
