August 3, 1977 PL�NNING REPORT CASE iVU�•9��R: APPLTCANT: LQCATION: ACTI�N R�QUESTED: P�.ANNING cOr�sIDERATIONS: 1. 7fi�e praperty remainder of Dellwood on Avenue on th of land and 1056-77 Charles Christiansen East of Hamline, Pdorth of Oakcrest ( see slcetch} Approval of Preliminary Plat in question consists of 3.14 acres and reRresents �ne the interiar of the block, baunded by Oafccrest on the sau�h, the eas�, Rose Place an the north, and of course, Nam1ine e west. The applicant �as purchased the remaining parcels made a land exchange arrangement with the lot io the north. 2. The proposal cansists of the constructian of a cul-de-sac off liamline Avenue and the deve7opment of an adcEitional five lots, making a total of seven lots platted (includina the lois containing the existing homes Qn Ha�mline Avenue). The lot areas vary from 9,400 feei ta 20,100 s�uare feet. The average lot size is 14,544. We believe �hat this arrangement of lots on the cul-de-sac produces the most desirable har�es�tes under th� conditions that exist. The key to the plan has been the arrangemen� wi th the 1 ot oUrner to tF�e north, wherei n hi s 1 ot frantage on I-iaml i ne i s increased by approximately 20 feet in exchange for a port�on of the rear of h�5 lot for the cul-de-sac and for Lat 6. Though the lot frontage on the cul--de-sac is as small as 32 feet, there is amole building snace on each of the lot5 for a single familv residence. The iot with 32 feet of frontage, for instance, has 2Q,10� sguare feet of land. Another lot with 36 feet of frontage (l.ot C) has 12,600 square fQe� of land_ 3. LJe feel the proposal as presented is a reasonable and la�ical one for �he division of the land for s�ngle family homes. Rs yau fcnow, there �s considerable demand for single fami�y lots. The Michels Brothers v�ho have plat�ed the land to the south, shawn in this sketch as the L. Berry and B. Anderson land is selling faster thar� if�ey can accormodate the buyers. 4. I� a cul-de-sac is not used for- the developmer�t of this land, there eou7d only be a single additionai lot �ronting on Hamline, reducing the total nu�tiber of 1ots from seven to three_ We feel that at this stage, it is important not �o waste the land but to utilize it to its best advantage for �� accommodation of sin�le fami�y homes in this area of Roseville.
