The property in question was replatted by the applicant in 1973 into two <br />lots, one of which was north of the cul-de-sac (Zone Street, easterly <br />from Hamline) , and one of which was south of the cul-de-sac. The land <br />to the north was zoned R-4 (four 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 4 cul-de-sac at the end of Ione <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 question. 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 land was not <br />developed under that plat as proposed in 1973, <br />2. A few months ago the applicant hired Pope 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 />;'.Ae <br />
