The Planning Commission recommended approval of 6 the Preliminary Plat on a 5/1 vote. Planning Division and Public Works Department staff, and the City 7 Attorney recommend approval of the Final Plat and associated Development Agreement. Details of 8 those recommended approvals were detailed in Section 8 of the staff report. 9 Mr. Paschke noted the existing parcel would be combined into two (2) lots along Cleveland Avenue as 10 the property frontage. Mr. Paschke reviewed the Preliminary Plat, in accordance with City Code, 11 Chapter 11, based on analysis of the development meeting those code requirements related to 12 appropriate infrastructure, any easements and rights-of-way issues related to the project, and 13 improvements negotiated between the developer and staff on behalf of the City. Mr. Paschke advised 14 that the Final Plat, as previously indicated by Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd, incorporated those 15 detailed elements of the Preliminary Plat, but not to the level of detail while yet including all land to be 16 dedicated to the City, and easements and boundaries related to the specific project. . 17 Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon reviewed the draft Development Agreement 18 (Attachment J) also known as a public improvement contract outlining the obligations of the City and 19 the applicant. Mr. Trudgeon provided an overview of those business points. While the draft 20 Development Agreement included in the meeting packet was substantially complete, Mr. Trudgeon 21 referenced additional exhibits and attachments, along with a cover memorandum from Mr. Trudgeon 22 dated earlier today, providing additional details, was included as a bench handout tonight, and attached 23 hereto and made a part hereof. Mr. Trudgeon noted that there were copies available for the public as 24 well. Mr. Trudgeon briefly reviewed the revisions, whether typographical, grammatical, or more 25 substantial that were recommended via that bench handout. Therefore, Mr. Trudgeon asked that the City 26 Council motion include verbiage that Development Agreement was amended. 27 Councilmember Pust questioned the exhibits and differences in the Final Plats, with Mr. Trudgeon 28 noting that the Preliminary Plat was marked “Preliminary subject to revision” which was routine as the 29 document was forwarded to Ramsey County for their review by the County Surveyor as part of the 30 recording process. 31 Councilmember McGehee, via a bench handout attached hereto and made a part hereof, had a list of 32 fourteen (14) questions related to the draft Development Agreement to which staff responded. 33 Hours of Operation: Twenty-four (24) hours per day 34 It was noted by Mayor Roe that Cub Foods at Har Mar Mall is another retail operation in Roseville with 35 a 24-hour operation. 36 Mr. Paschke advised that there was no restriction in City Code as to hours of operation; with Mr. 37 Trudgeon and Mayor Roe concurring, noting the restrictions for extended hours were specific to 38 commercial operations adjacent to residential areas. 39 Councilmember McGehee noted that there was a potential for future residential development adjacent to 40 the proposed Wal-Mart as part of CMU zoning, and noted that the Development Agreement stipulated 41 that no further restrictions could be imposed by the City for at least two (2) years. Councilmember 42 McGehee questioned whether this precluded any adjacent properties being developed as residential. 43 Page1of14
