provided by the Ramsey County Sherriff’s Department. As a condition of approval, the lighting and security plan will need to be approved by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department prior to the issuance of any building permits. Parking A minimum of one enclosed parking stall is required per dwelling unit. With 40 dwelling units proposed, a minimum of 40 enclosed parking spaces would need to be provided. Presbyterian Homes has proposed 66 underground parking stalls for the Brownstone Buildings. Common Area A combination of indoor and outdoor common areas for recreation and leisure activities must be provided. The proposed link between the two Brownstone Buildings will provide a club room and recreation area on the ground level. The larger Johanna Shores property includes extensive walking trails and open space areas for recreation and leisure activities. Bicycle Parking Enclosed bicycle parking is required to be provided at a rate of 0.5 spaces for every dwelling unit. No dedicated bicycle parking facilities have been proposed. Given that the housing will be for senior residents, staff believes it is reasonable for this provision to be waived. Window Treatments All windows that are visible to the outside are required to include window treatments. These treatments are required to be consistent throughout the development. The submitted plans do not provide the level of detail needed to determine if this requirement has been met. This provision will be evaluated when the building permit application is submitted. B. Landscaping and Tree Preservation – Section 1325.05 Subd. 1 and 1325.055 A revised Landscaping and Tree Preservation Plan were submitted by the applicant and are included in Attachments C and D. The Tree Preservation Plan approved in Planning Case 10-012 required a total of 1,658 caliper inches of replacement trees to mitigate the 3,939 caliper inches of significant trees removed for the project. During Phase I, an additional 118 caliper inches of trees were removed that were identified for preservation in the approved plan. The City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance states that unapproved tree loss is required to be replaced at a rate of two caliper inches for every one caliper inch removed. This would increase the number of required replacement trees to 1,894 caliper inches. To date, Presbyterian Homes has planted 1,800 caliper inches of trees, leaving a current deficit of 94 caliper inches. The Tree Preservation Plan for the property has been updated to reflect the removal of one additional significant tree measuring 15 caliper inches during Phase II of the project. The required mitigation for this approved removal will be 7.5 caliper inches, bringing the total required tree plantings for Phase II to 101.5 caliper inches.
