Attachment C 0 0 so# 0 0 United. Properties is excited. about the continued. opportunity to work with the City of Roseville in locating an Applewood. Pointe Cooperative Community on the Cleveland. Avenue site. The general concept plan was approved. by the City Council during the June 18, 2007 City Council meeting. The final development plan is essentially unchan, ed. from the plan submitted. in the general concept plan application and. approval process. We continue to believe that this plan is ideal for this site and. the City of Roseville for a number of reasons: COOPERATIVE The senior cooperative will be a 4-story, 95-unit building. The Cooperative is a "for sale" property for independent seniors age 55 and. older. The building will have underground. parking for the owners providing one stall per unit. Surface parking inclu.des 50 ad.d.itional stalls on the north side of the building. The community will inclu.de 13 unique floor plans ranging from an 835 square foot one bedroom, one bath unit to a 1,764 square foot two bedroom with den unit. Cooperative members own a share of the entire building and. ground.s, and. have a right to occupy a specific unit. Each member purchases a share in the Limited. Equity Corporation, and. has equal voting status in electing the Cooperative Board. of Directors from their membership. Cooperative hou.sing combines the advantages of pride of home ownership with the conveniences of community living. The exterior of the bu.ild.ing will consist of brick, stucco, and. maintenance -free lap siding. The roof will be asphalt shingled.- Residents will have no individual exterior building maintenance obligations. The interior will inclu.de a community room with small serving kitchen, a 2-story entrance lobby with multiple seating areas, a library, a sun room, game and. craft rooms, and. an office for the on-site manager. Ad.d.itional amenities inclu.de a guest suite, an exercise room with sauna, and. a carwash and. woodworking shop. Residents will enjoy a social, interactive, and. healthy lifestyle. United. Properties has worked. closely with city staff in developing this community under a PUD that conforms to city standard.s and. is environmentally sensitive. Many meetings and. discu.ssions were committed. in ensuring that the prQject does not encroach into adjacent wetlands and. the level of wetland. enhancements that can be kept. We are proposing to improve hydrology and. restore wetland. vegetation to improve the overall quality of these wetlands. Special attention was made to develop a plan focu.sing on protecting the majority of the existing trees around. the perimeter of the property. Extensive land.scaping was ad.ded. along the north property line and. throughout the site providing buffering to our neighbors. The ad.d.ition of extensive land.scaping and. the incorporation of a public trail provide a connection to the wetland. south of our site to Langton Lake Park were stemmed. from our d.iscu.ssions with staff. We understand. that the creation of these paths would. need. to be approved. by the City and. the Parks and. Recreation Committee, but our goal would. be to create an amenity that would. benefit Langton Lake Park and. our Applewood. community. As detailed. a little further in this narrative, United. Properties would. be willing to absorb a portion or all of this cost in exchange for a waiver of Park Dedication Fees. In essence, a portion of these fees would. be used. to improve or create an extension of the Park.
