Planning File 1358 - William Steinworth request for preliminary plat, special use permit, and vacation of right-of-way at 1717 Dellwood. Presentation Mr. Dahlgren indicated the property in question was located east of Hamline Avenue and north of Larpenteur Avenue. In 1973, this property had been platted into two lots, both of which extended off a dedicated but not constructed cul-de-sac, extending easterly from Hamline Avenue. The northerly of the two lots was zoned R-4 at that time, and the southerly, R-6. It was the intent of the applicant at that time to construct a townhouse development consisting of 18 units. Following the platting of those two lots, it was determined by the City Engineering Department that the construction of the lone Street cul-de-sac was not possible due to poor soil conditions. This land was not developed under the plat. In an effort to make use of the property, the applicant is now proposing a sub- stantially differing platting in which access would be gained from the north, off Dellwood Avenue. The applicant's plan proposes two single-family homes on the northerly portion that is currently zoned R-4, and a l2-unit structure on the southerly portion, zoned R-6. The applicant, therefore, has submitted a request for a special use permit for planned unit development, which would allow for the spreading of the density, and would change the plan from the original 18 units to be constructed on the site, to a total of 14. The lots are platted so that each lot has frontage on the proposed cul-de-sac. Discussion Mr. Johnson re~uested additional information concerning soil pro~lems with the lone cul-de-sac. Mr. Drown indicated the area proposed for the cul-de-sac was the fill area, and that the fill had not been compacted. In order to construct the cul-de-sac with its necessary utilities, the filled area would have to be excavated and replaced with different soil. This was judged to be prohibitively expensive. Mr. Rukavina asked if the landscaping plan had been approved by the City staff. Mr. Dahlgren indicated it had been. Mr. Rukavina indicated his ~ ~
