1 .......... 7", 400 BACKGROUND 18 The property, addressed only as 0 Lexington Avenue, has a Comprehensive Plan 19 designation of Low Density Residential (LDR) and a zoning classification of Low 20 Density Residential- I (LDR- 1) District. The preliminary PLAT PROPOSAL has been 21 prompted by plans to develop a neighborhood of one-family detached homes on a large, 22 undeveloped parcel. 2'3 5. 0 PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS 24 5.1 Plat proposals are reviewed primarily for the purpose of ensuring that the proposed lots 25 and streets are compatible with broader pattern of development, that all proposed lots 26 meet the minimum size requirements of the zoning code, that adequate streets and other 2 7' public infrastructure are in place or identified and constructed, and that storm water is 28 addressed to prevent problems either on nearby property or within the storm water 29 system. o 5.2 Roseville's Development Review Committee (DR Q, a body comprising staff from various City departments, met on February 17, 2011 to discuss the application. Some of ' 2 the discussion centered on the technical requirements for eventual construction of roads and other infrastructure,, which are not pertinent to the PRELIMINARY PLAT,, but the comments related to the plat itself are as follows-- '35 a. Upon revision of the lot lines pertaining to Lots I, 2, and 16 of Block 2 in response to '36 comments from Planning Division on the original proposal, all of the proposed lots N3 7' meet the standards pertaining to size and configuration. ' 8 b. Adopted as a component of the new Zoning Ordinance, the Tree Preservation and '39 Restoration section of the Code (10 11.04) specifies the process and requirements for 40 tree preservation in all districts. In the case of the Pulte Homes proposal, they have 41 submitted the tree preservation summary for Josephine Woods, included with this 42 staff report as Attachment D,, which meets all of the requirements of the Section 4,'3 1011.04. However,, the Planning Division is continuing to review with Alliant 14,14, Engineering, further protection of trees that may be impacted during any/all aspects of 145 the construction. Specifically, Section 1011.04E I (Tree Protection), requires trees to 146 be protected at the drip line with a fence and to be undisturbed during construction, 4 7' which in some cases may be compromised slightly. Planning Division staff is 148 requiring that these trees be identified and monitored during construction as well a 149 method to replace if deemed necessary. 50 c. The street names shown on the revised plat have been made consistent with the 51 recommendations of Police and Fire Department representatives to continue the 52 Fernwood Street name and house-numbering from the connection to Fernwood Street 5'3 on the western edge of the property through the connection to the County Road C2 54 cul-de-sac,, and then naming the northern, internal cul-de-sac street Fernwood (.-Y,ircle 55 since a Fernwood (70urt already exists further south. 56 d. To preserve the integrity of the storm water treatment areas,, the easements on Lots I - 5 7' 12 Block I and Lots 4-5,, 12,, and 15-16 Block 2 should prohibit fences and should 58 contain signage to inform the property owners of the boundaries and maintenance 59 needs of these areas. Also,, the pond easement on Lots 4-5 Block 2 should be adjusted 60 to include the 100-year flood elevation. PF I I - —RCA —03 2111. doc Page 2 of 4
