AW., 0111011010111 0 0 1 Difi t PWO1101 //,)/,/ 1f a e on, pi Hoines for Genieratiolls Proposed Amendments This ICU D amendment request includes two components that are necessary to complete the design and construction of Sienna Green Phase 11: • Incorporate the small property known as the "triangle" into Sienna Green Phase 2; and, • Reduce the building setback from 40 feet to 15 feet from the western property line. C With these two amendments, Aeon will be able to complete the Sienna Green Phase 11 design process. The project will conform to all other requirements of the ICU D agreement as well as the newly adopted building design standards in the Roseville Zoning Code that were not in place when the ICU was first approved. g C The Ttiangle o 1, pe�ry WI-ien the Sienna Green project was approved by the City in June 2009, the plans for Phase 11 did not yet include the "triangle" parcel immediately north of Lot 2 because the ownership history had not been fully resolved (Attachment B). The parcel is now owned by Aeon. This ICU D amendment request is accompanied by a plat application to combine Lot 2 of the Sienna Green Addition and the adjacent triangle parcel into one parcel for the Phase 11 project. The proposed amendment will update the legal description in the PUD agreement to include the legal description of the newly combined lot. Build Ng Selback A juslwent The site layout for Phase 11 in the original ICU D approval was largely conceptual since final design was not C scheduled to occur until funding was secured and ownership of the triangle was clarified since both items would impact final design. With funding secured and the triangle ownership question resolved, the design process was initiated. Upon re'Viewing the site layout, a rectangular building instead of a "dog leg" style building shown in the C original ICU D provides for more efficient and cost-effective construction as well as better long-term use of the site itself With the addition of the triangle parcel, the combined property can now support the rectangular building. As we entered the design phase, it was also determined that the building needed to be lengthened to accommodate the underground parking and the minimum a artment sizes needed to meet design standards p set by the NEnnesota Housing Finance Agency. WI-iile the proposed setback adjustment reduces the building setback from 40 feet to 15 feet from the western C property line, only a corner of the building actually extends to the 15 foot mark. Almost all of the building actually remains behind the 40 foot setback line (Attachment C), and it is still more than 200 feet from the closest building on the adjacent property (Attachment D). Please note that the new underlying HIT -1 zoniing district permits a 10 foot setback from the western property line. 3rd Street Stfite 300, Mi"1111eapolis, MN 554][5 48 6 4 .��4208F' 3 1 31 1 3 1 Page 3
