redevelopment project. The proposed project would have 175 surface stalls, a reduction of 75 stalls, allowing for more green space and storm water treatment on site. However, the project would also have 182 underground parking stalls for residents. In an effort to limit the number of surface parking stalls, Presbyterian Homes is proposing six stalls as proof of parking. These spaces would remain green space unless Presbyterian Homes determines that they are needed in the future, in which case they could be constructed at that time. 3. Sign Code Chapter 12 Meets Requirements The applicants have proposed a signage plan that meets all requirements of the City's Sign Code. The project would have four monument signs; one at each entrance and a fourth at the corner of County Road D and Lake Johanna Boulevard. While Sign No. 3 is shown adjacent to Shorewood Drive on the proposed plans, the intention of the applicant is to place it at the drive entrance at County Road D. The signs will require separate sign permits prior to construction. 4. Subdivision Code Chapter 11— Meets Requirements The proposed lot consolidation meets all requirements of the City's Subdivision Ordinance. Park dedication fees do not apply to this proposal because no lots are being created. As part of the re- platting of this property Presbyterian Homes will dedicate to the City as right of way that portion of Shorewood Drive that is on their property, and the City will receive drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the parcel. The City will also need to vacate the existing access easement over Shorewood Drive. 5. Conditional Use Permit Amendment The property currently operates under two CUPs (70 -052 and 78 -031) and their subsequent amendments. Institutional housing is a conditional use in the R -4 District, and the underlying CUPs are still required in order to allow this type of use to continue. To simplify the documents under which this property is subject, it is necessary to amend all previous CUP approvals, consolidating them under a single Master PUD agreement which would outline the conditions of approval for the development. The conditions of the Master PUD agreement and subsequent development agreement will dictate the future development and activity on this property. 6. Traffic Review Engineers from the cities of Roseville and Arden Hills have reviewed the proposed plans, as well as the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer (Attachment C), and do not have any objections to the redevelopment plan as presented. An increase in 14 residential units does not trigger a traffic study; however, Presbyterian Homes was asked to provide existing and anticipated traffic counts to and from the site in an effort to better understand the traffic impacts of this development (Attachment A).
