CASE NUMBER: 1236 -79 2 January 1979 Page Two office impractical, and in any event, prevent the development of commercial parking or a commercial building on the easterly portion of the property. The site plan also proposes to move the proposed parking area slightly to the east so as to retain more of the existing pine trees on the westerly portion of the site. 4. The applicant also agrees to dedicate 16�.feet of the westerly portion of the lot for right-of-way for Lexington Avenue. The County i's currently negotiating to acquire this right -of -way as a part of the Lexington Avenue improvement project. The site plan also indicates the proposed construction of sidewalks, Which are required by Ordinance by the city of Roseville on- new commercial, industrial, or multiple dwelling sites. Though in this case, a new structure is not proposed, the development of the parking lot, is construed to be development of the land, and is therefore included in the applicant's proposal. J 5. our greatest concern is that the policy of restricting the commer- cialization of Lexington Avenue that the city has been following for many years be continued, Thus, the question as to whether or not this action constitutes a final extension of commercial activity northerly along this side of Lexington Avenue should be a principal Planning Commission consideration. If the Planning commission and Council feel that the restrictions proposed will permanently prevent the furtherance of commercial strip development in this area, this proposal has merit. we are advised that the normal effective life of a deed restriction (unless other provisions are made) is 30 years. The alternatives to the proposed use would be to retain the existing house as a single family residence or perhaps add a second unit to the house (or possibly two) on the west side thereby, more effectively utilizing the land for residential. purposes
