An excerpt from the goals and policies section of the Comprehensive Plan is attached. <br /> These goals and policies stress the need for a nix of housing styles and types to meet <br /> the needs of a.broad range of citizens. <br /> 2. In 1998, the City conducted a senior housing market feasibility study with the <br /> consulting firm of Health Planning and Management Resources. The proposed <br /> project could meet the identified need for senior housing in Roseville, as revealed by <br /> the study, if the units are affordable and are sold/rented to Roseville residents. (A <br /> summary of the study key finding is attached.) <br /> 3. In conjunction with the application for concept Plan approval, the following <br /> documents have been submitted and reviewed by staff in preparation of this report. <br /> Boundary and topographic survey (10/22/98) <br /> Preliminary site and grading (I V6/98) <br /> Site Plan (11/9/98) <br /> Landscape plan(11/9/98) <br /> Building elevations (11/9/98) <br /> Site profile (1119198) <br /> Floor Plans including basement garage Plan, main level Plan, upper levels plan. <br /> and unit Plans (1119198) <br /> 4. The Comprehensive Plan needs to be amended to accommodate the proposed <br /> development on this site. If the pled unit development is approved,the underlying <br /> zoning would be R-3, General residence District. This district requires a minimum <br /> lot area of 2,000 square feet per one-bedroom unit and 2,800 square feet per two- <br /> bedroom unit, as well as a maximum floor area ratio of 0.5. Since the senior housing <br /> portion of the project would require a minimum lot area of 3.38 acres to meet this <br /> density requirement, the project as proposed on 8.24 acres easily meets these <br /> standards and the criteria within the planned unit development provisions. <br /> 5. The topography of the site,the presence of Bennett Lake, and the location of the site <br /> on a comer of two County roadways present development challenges for the site. In <br /> order to meet the 75 foot setback requirement from Bennett Lake, the building has <br /> been placed approximately 15 feet from the edge of the right-of-way for County <br /> Road C. Because of the width of County Road C,this should not present a problem <br /> and can be allowed as part of the planned unit development. <br /> 6. The Engineering review of this project indicated that the dedication of an additional. <br /> 10 feet of right-of-way will be required along Victoria Street for implementation of <br /> the Ramsey County Master Street Plan. Engineering also had concerns with the <br /> grading plan, especially the extensive use of retaining walls, the steep slopes <br /> included, and potential problems with. erosion control during construction. In <br /> addition, the retention ponds shown on the grading plan must be redesigned to meet <br /> PF3 049-RCA(0 1/25199)-Paige 5 of 9 <br />
