23 4.0 REVIEW OF REQUEST 24 In 2009, AEON received approval of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to rehabilitate 25 the Har Mar Apartments, complete site improvements, and construct a new 50 -unit rental 26 complex. Since that date, AEON has been working with the Minnesota Department of 27 Transportation and the City of Roseville to acquire a small triangular piece of land 28 directly north of the Sienna Green site. AEON is required to include this land with the 29 existing Lot 2 of the subdivision plat approved with the PUD and also amend the PUD 30 Agreement to incorporate the land into the development and to shift the proposed 50-unit 31 structure. There is also an existing public easement that needs to be vacated and 32 relocated as a component of the project. However, recently the City Attorney has 33 determined that the land, although in fee title, is also an easement, for which the whole 34 triangular piece must be vacated. This action will occur at the May 4 Planning 35 Commission Meeting and then combined with the three items contained in the report and 36 presented to the City Council for action. 37 5.0 BACKGROUND 38 As stated previously, AEON received approval of their PUD in June, 2009 for Sienna 39 Green. This PUD and the associated agreement included specific perimeters within 40 which site improvements and development at Sienna Green was to occur. Since the 41 recent acquisition (transference from City to AEON) the small triangular piece of land 42 (directly north and adjacent the frontage road and an item discussed throughout the 43 approval process) and a necessary change in the building footprint design and location, 44 the PUD Agreement requires modification, the existing Lot 2 needs to be replatted, and 45 an existing public easement needs to be vacated. A new utility and drainage easement 46 will replace the vacated easement on the new subdivision plat. 47 6.0 PRELIMINARY /FINAL PLAT 48 6.1 The PRELIMINARY PLAT proposed for the Sienna Green development seeks to create 49 Lot I. Blockl , Sienna Green Second Addition by combining the existing Lot 2 with the 50 recently acquired triangle. The size of the new lot will increase from a former 48,351 or 51 1.1 acres to 54,918 or 1.26 acres after all dedications have been provided. 52 6.2 With the recently approved Vacation of the Public Highway Easement, the new Lot 1, 53 Block I. Sienna Green Second Addition provides all necessary and required utility and 54 drainage easements and dedications. 55 7.0 STAFF COMMENTS, RECOMMENDATION, AND CONDITIONS 56 7.1 The Development Review Committee reviewed the proposed Preliminary Plat, Easement 57 Vacation, and PUD Agreement Amendment on March 10 and 17, 2011. The Committee 58 did not have any specific concerns with the proposal or the documentation provided in 59 support of the project. The DRC and the Planning Division recommend that all actions 60 sought by AEON be supported. 61 Page 2 of 3
