7.2 Based on a number of the points addressed in Section 5 (above) specifically that the Master Plan 99 identifies that subject property for multi family housing and a transition area from the single- 1 family residential to the north and the industrial uses to the south, and based on current 1 discussions pertaining to Roseville's Comprehensive Land Use Map update where the subject 1 property may be guided as High Density Residential, the Planning Division supports REZONING 1 4w. 3 the subject property from an existing R-1, Single Family Residence District to PUD,, PLANNED 1 ('_)4 UNIT DEVELOP MENT with an underlying zoning of R-3, GENERAL RESIDENCE DISTRICT. 11 o5 8.0 PROJECT SPECIFICS: ('_)6 8.1 The subject 6.35-acre property is currently two parcels with separate,, but related, owners. The ('_)7 site is currently a primarily wooded site with one single-family residence at its west end. There are portions of two designated wetlands on the site (one on the north side of the property includes 20,,301 sq. ft. of wetland area on the site and the other on the south side includes 905 sq. ft. of wetland on the site) 11111 8.2 The proposal seeks to develop a 4-story, hipped roof, elongated 95-unit age-restricted 112 cooperative housing development located at the south end of the site and favoring the east side 113 of the property. Vehicle parking for residents will be provided underground at I space for each 114 of the 95 units. Variations in the building's facade have been designed to minimize the mass of 11 the structure,, and its placement to the very south of the parcel provides an appropriate 116 separation from the adjacent single-family residences. 11 "7 8.3 Access to the development will come from Cleveland Avenue North approximately mid-point 11 between County Roads C2 and D. The proposed primary access would serve four purposes; to 119 provide access to a below grade parking structure located beneath the building,, to access an at- 120 grade resident/guest parking lot, to provide access to the adjacent Langton Lake Park parking 121 lot,, and to provide for connections to future City roads. 122 8.4 Additional landscape considerations has been given to the north side of their property,, between 123 the street and the property line/existing trees. The Final Development Plan incorporates trees 124 and other landscaping to augment the existing condition to in the visual screen 125 from the proposed road and development. 12 6 8.5 Sidewalk and pathway have been incorporated into the development site to afford pedestrians 12 "7 access from Cleveland Avenue to the park. 128 8.6 The proposal would rely on existing public sanitary sewer and water located within the 129 Cleveland Avenue right-of-way, which design will be looped to eliminate dead end lines and 130 possible pressure losses. 131 8.7 The proposed Applewood Pointe site is required to create and manage its own storm water 132 according to City Code and the Rice Creek Watershed. Efficiencies and better utilization of the 133 land has been achieved under the current design, though given the remoteness of this site to the 134 broader Twin Lakes redevelopment area, its design achieves a site specific efficiency.
