~ I I \. . . PLANNING BEPORT DATE: 2 May 1ge4 1488-84 CASE NUMBER: APPr.tCANT: Willia= and Lorna Jones LOCATION: West of Lexington Avenue, South of Rose Place ACTION REQUESTED: Rezoning fro= a-I to R-2 Approval of Planned Unit Development PLANNING CONSIDERAtIONS: 1. The propertj in question 13 a 2.216 acre parcel of land, with 188.49 :feet of frontage on 1.exington Avenue. the land is zoned single family and is lurrounded by tingle family lots which are 75 feet in width on the south alld west side. To the north is a 60 foot right-of-way for Rose Place. ThQugh the right-of-way ~xtends fro= Lexington to Fernwood, the .treet has not b~en constructed. To the nOTth is a mobile home park which ed sta as a non-confoming use on land that is zoned B-3. the bUline.s zoning or. this land goes back to the era when the City was Rose Township an~ the land was zoned commercial under the old Ramsey County Zoning OrdlnanLe. 2. The applicants propose to request that the City construct Rose Place we.terly fr~ Lexington Avenue to Dunlap Street. A water main would be in. taIled WhlCh would loop to the system further to the west on Fernwood. Sewer, we understand. is already in place in the dght-of-vay. Such a st't'eet would normally be assessed approximately one-half to the property in question and to the mobilf' home park property to the north. We undentand that the mobile home park operators object to the construction of this street, lnasmuch 41 they appear not to ne!d this street for the continu,'d operation of the lllobile hOllle park. If the property u evn developed for commercial purposes, however, the street may be an asset lnumuch as thl'! property has considerable dep,h off of Lexington Avenue and has no access to County Road C because of the Burlington Northern railroad tracks. 3. The density lor the &-2 zone i. two units per 11,000 square foot lot. or 5.500 sq~are feet per unit. If the land were platted into duplex lots with a 100 foot lot on the corner and say, flve 82.4 foot lots to the ~est of that, it would be possible to build Ii total of six duplexes or 12 unit!! on the site. Each 82.4 foot lot, however, would have a Land ,}rea oC 15,531 square feet. Thus. duplexes fronting on Ro!)e Place oriented tovard the ':!labile hooe park or future co::.cereul deve lQ(:tIlent wjuld likely have some deleterious impact from the land uses north of RoSt, Place.
