May 13, ] 974 M�MORANDUM TO: City Council Cii-y of Roseville FROM: Midwest Planning and Research, Inc. SUBJECT: Extension af Special Use Permit for Roland Fleck 1. The sketch at t-he left indicates the location of the praperty owned by Roland Fleck for which a speciaf use permit for a planned unit development consiting of 36 units was approved by the City Council in Noverrsber of 1973. T�e appiicant is appearing A/Say 20th to.request an extension of the 6 month permit with anticipation of beginning the co�struction in 3974. The plan was approved by the Planning Commission wifhout opposition from contiguous property owners. There would appear to be no problem with respect to consideration of the exfension requesf. 2. At this time, Mr. Fleck has also submitted a more deiaiied site plan with slight chang�s, all of which we .suggest constitute imp�ovemenfs in the plan. These changes are: a. lnstead of reci-Qngular blocks of 6 to 8 units per si-ructure, the sfructures wi I E now be offset in two and i-hrees . This tends to break up the mass oF the buildings, reduce the scale, and malce them more infieresting to the eye. {See large scale site plqn at the meeting.} b. [nstead of a single garage and carport per unit, the a}�plicant now proposes to provide two encEosed garag� spaces per unif with a separate walkway to the entrance gates to the courtyard between the garages anc! the front doors to the units (as was originqlly done in the Ban Con t4wnhouse units off County Road C and Western). c. The ap�licant reorients fihe southeasterly unifs toward the soufheast (toward existing townhauses}, This reduces the asphalt area significantly and improves fhe circulation system, The n�mber and size of units remains the same, as wefl.as the access and egress. 3. The criteria used by your staFf in considering minor adjustments of an improved pian are that the changes are indeed minor, and that each of them consfitut�s an im rovement to the sife plan, ln this case, the offsetfiing of the buildings, the provision for two garages each, and the reduction of the asphaif and circulation space, in our opinion, pEl constitute im�rovements in the site plan.
