PLANNING REPORT DATE: 5 March 1986 CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1646 Wilfred F. and Muriel O. Spear Southeast Corner of County Road B and Cleveland Avenue Approval of Preliminary Plat 1. The property in question is an open parcel of unplatted land at the southeast corner of County Road B and Cleveland Avenue. The property is owned by the applicants Mr. and Mrs. Spear who reside on, as well as own, the contiguous property to the south, Lot 5 Block 3, Sharondale Addition (see attached sketch). Having enjoyed this open space for many years, the Spears now propose to divide the land into three buildable lots, retaining a 15 foot strip of land contiguous to the north property line of Lot 5. 2. As you know, the minimum lot sizes in Roseville are 100 feet of frontage for a corner lot with 12,500 square feet of area and 85 feet of frontage on an interior lot with 11,000 square feet of area. The proposed lots meet or exceed those minimum requirements --the interior lots being 85 feet and 90 feet in width and the corner lot having a width of 100.58 feet. 3. The attached, reduced preliminary plat drawing is difficult to read, but you will notice that the 15 feet to be added to the southerly lot, where the Spears reside, is indicated as Outlot A. Thus, this lot that now has 105 feet of frontage on Cleveland Avenue will have 120 feet of frontage, if the division is approved as proposed. 4. The City engineering staff informs us that the City proposes to construct a trailway on the south side of County Road B. This path will be 6 feet in width and is normally constructed on the public right-of-way, 1 foot from the property line. The problem here is that the right-of-way, as it exists (43 feet from the center line of County Road B), has inadequate space for this pathway to be constructed. The appropriate solution is to request and, perhaps, add as a condition to the approval of this plat, the dedication of a 6 foot wide easement along the north side of the property. Since there is now approximately 6 feet between the property line and the curb of County Road B, this easement will allow for the new pathway to have 5 feet of boulevard space between the pathway and the south curb of County Road B. This easement will not effect the setback of any residences to be constructed on the property, but does mean that the path will be constructed 5 feet within the north side of the two effected lots.
