Preliminary Plat, Bruce Addition Page 2 April 20, 1993 • Barrington Place Replat #5 replatted Block 5 into twelve duplexes (twenty-four units) to be developed in two phases . The first phase of Replat #5 is the four duplexes to the south of this plat. The second phase of Replat #5 (which never received final approval) is being proposed to be replatted again into Bruce Addition. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Staff ' s interpretation is that a conditional use permit for Bruce Addition, although it is in a PUD, is not required because the original PUD agreement will not need to be altered. LOT SIZES 1 . Single Family Lots - Lots 13 & 14 of the plat are proposed to accommodate single family homes . They average around 9 , 000 square feet. The City' s minimum lot size is 10,000 square feet. The City Council does have the discretion to allow these lots to be under the 10, 000 square feet because the property lies within a PUD. There are also single family lots just north of this plat that are under 10, 000 square feet. 2 . Duplexes - City ordinance states that each unit of a • duplex is required to have 6, 000 square feet of lot area. Each of the individual duplex lots is 2, 184 square feet in size. However, the 6 , 000 square feet per unit required by code assumes that there is no common lot as proposed with this plat. Considering common area, 5,518 square feet is the average per duplex unit in this plat. The second phase of Replat #5, which this plat is proposed to replace, averaged 5,270 square feet per duplex lot. Bruce Addition, although it does not meet the minimum duplex lot size of 6, 000 square feet, is less intense than Replat #5 . Again, flexibility is allowable through the PUD. EXTENSION OF URBAN SERVICES The extension of urban services for this plat will not be done as a City project. It is the City' s policy however, to have the City Engineer design the sewer and water extensions . Terry Maurer' s comments regarding these utilities will obviously need to be incorporated into his design. Staff recommends all other plans such as grading and drainage are reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to final plat approval . Although concrete curb and gutter was not provided for the duplexes to the south of this plat, it may be necessary to accomplish drainage in Bruce Addition. This will • be the City Engineer' s decision when he reviews the Drainage Plan. The City Engineer will also be responsible for getting the appropriate MPCA and Department of Health permits for the extension of sewer and water.
