Attachment C <br />25 <br />000010111 <br />irroii /0 <br />J <br />a e on <br />Hoines for Generatiolls <br />Sienna Green Project Review <br />H Mar Apartments, now known as Sienna Green, were constructed in 1965. The property includes five <br />buildings with a total of 120 one bedroom units. Before Aeon acquired the property, it had the most police <br />'1 11 11 <br />calls of any property in the City of Roseville and was almost haf vacant due to umerous deferred <br />maintenance issues. Many unit s were in poor condition or simply un -re ntable. The over-sized asphalt parking <br />lot was crumbling, the site suffered from poor drainage, and much of the landscaping was unkempt. <br />C <br />However, the building structures were sound and now demonstrate that with careful planning,, it can be more <br />cost-effective to renovate than demolish and construct new buildirVgs. <br />In cooperation with the City of Roseville, a PUD was approved in June 2009 to signii ficantly rehabilitate the <br />five bui*1dings and address drainage, parking, and landscaping. The PUD also included a second phase for the <br />new 50 unlit bUilding. The Phase I rehabilitation project was completed in November 2010 and included the <br />C <br />follo ng 1 <br />wi ( <br />_ see p ictures 1 in Attachment A): <br />• The interiors of all 120 unit s were rehabbed, environmental issues remediated (lead and asbestos), <br />and new kitchens and bathrooms installed; <br />• New landscaping was planted throughout the property, including 120 additional new trees; <br />C <br />• Parking was divided into smaller areas to incorporate landscaped islands and eliminate the one <br />monolithic asphalt lot; <br />• Drainage was significantly enhanced with new rain gardens and drainage basins; and, <br />C <br />• A new sidewalk was constructed along the frontage road, which will continue along Phase 2. Later <br />this summer, a new sidewalk will be constructed from Sienna Green to County Road B2 to provide <br />safe pedestrian access to the intersection. <br />Phase 11 provides 50 new units comprised of four one bedroom, 30 two bedroom, and 16 three bedroom <br />units. The two and three bedroom apartments provide additional affordable options for families with <br />children. The bUilding will have underground parking, a commutuity space for residents, tot lot playground, <br />and a leasing office. Aeon anticipates breakirg ground oil this project later this summer. <br />The Sienna Green project was made possible by creating an effective partnership between Aeon, the City of <br />Roseville, Ramsey County, and state and regional agencies. This project will enhance the long-term <br />c C <br />desirability of the neighborhood. Sienna Green has become a sustle-linable model for reVitalizing aged housing <br />stock while providing a mix of affordable and market rate units to increase the quality housing options <br />available to people of varying incomes, family types, ages, and abilities. <br />This development is consistent with Imagine RoseVille's 2025 Plan to ensure the City has a diverse mix of <br />C <br />housing that meets community needs. It also satisfies many other goals within the Plan such as encouraging <br />C <br />sustainable building ving landscaping and making Roseville a livable community for all. <br />_ practices, impro c landscaping, <br />13rd Street Stfite 300, Millifieapolis, MN 55415 48 6 [Z����,�'4 .�����4208F' <br />3 1 31 1 3 1 <br />
