4.0B <br />ACKGROUND <br />15 <br />4.1The subject properties, located in Planning District 4, have Comprehensive Plan Land <br />16 <br />Use Designations of Low-Density Residential (LR) and Parks & Open Space (POS) and <br />17 <br />respective zoning classifications of Low-Density Residential-1 (LDR-1) and Parks & <br />18 <br />Recreation (PR) Districts. <br />19 <br />4.2Because the subject residential properties are all exceptionally shallow, east to west, the <br />20 <br />Lake Josephine County Park begins very near to the backs of the houses and, over time, <br />21 <br />residential landscaping, play structures, and storage sheds have inadvertently encroached <br />22 <br />into the park property. The present application seeks to correct this by trading a portion <br />23 <br />of the southernmost residential property to the park in exchange for an equivalent amount <br />24 <br />of land from the park to be distributed among the residential properties. Should the <br />25 <br />application be approved, Ramsey County intends to install some kind of property markers <br />26 <br />(perhaps discreet fiberglass posts) to better identify the park boundary and prevent future <br />27 <br />encroachments. <br />28 <br />4.3The actual realignment of the property boundaries (i.e., the <br />29 RECOMBINATION MINOR <br />) as proposed has been approved by Ramsey County, and could be approved <br />30 SUBDIVISION <br />by the City Council without a public hearing but for the other essential aspects of the <br />31 <br />overall "land swap," as the multi-part application has come to be known. The park land is <br />32 <br />designated as a park in Roseville's Comprehensive Plan and zoned for park-type uses in <br />33 <br />the zoning code; likewise, the residential properties are designated in the Comprehensive <br />34 <br />Plan and zoned for residential-type uses. The seemingly simple act of shifting the <br />35 <br />property boundaries to incorporate what has been residential land into a park property (or <br />36 <br />to incorporate what has been park land into a residential property) doesn't change the <br />37 <br />underlying regulatory characteristics of that land area. Therefore, if the application would <br />38 <br />only realign the property boundaries, each of the residential properties would have a strip <br />39 <br />of land which they could not use for residential purposes (e.g., they couldn't put their <br />40 <br />garden shed on that strip of park-zoned land), and the County park would have a patch of <br />41 <br />land which they could only use for building a house. Because of this, the overall <br />42 <br />application also includes a proposed CLUP and <br />43 OMPREHENSIVE ANDSELAN MAP CHANGE <br /> so that the entire land area of the park has the appropriate <br />44 ZONING MAP CHANGE <br />Comprehensive Plan and zoning characteristics, and so the entirety of each of the <br />45 <br />residential properties is also suitably guided and zoned for one-family residential use. <br />46 <br />4.4An applicant seeking approval a CLUP and/or <br />47 OMPREHENSIVE ANDSELAN MAP CHANGE <br /> is required to hold an open house meeting to inform the <br />48 ZONING MAP CHANGE <br />surrounding property owners and other interested individuals of the proposal, to answer <br />49 <br />questions, and to solicit feedback. The open house for this application was held on March <br />50 <br />16, 2013; the summary of the open house meeting provided by the applicant is included <br />51 <br />with this staff report as Attachment C. <br />52 <br />4.5This request has a Planning File number referencing 2011 rather than 2013 because the <br />53 <br />application seemed poised to proceed following the approval from the Ramsey County <br />54 <br />Board of Commissioners. The Planning File opened at that time is being used today, <br />55 <br />despite the fact that two years have passed while sorting out title, financing, and other <br />56 <br />details, simply to avoid redundant or “empty” files in City records. <br />57 <br />PF11-009_RCA_052013.doc <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />
