Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 20, 2013 Page 14 found by staff, even when locating the old planning file on Microfiche records when a plan had been submitted, but never pursued for a 12-unit townhome com- plex, that had been found to be inconsistent with Comprehensive Plan at that time. Had that project proceeded at that time, Mr. Schwartz advised that additional re- view or hydrologic studies may have been required. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Schwartz advised that, to his knowledge, no hydrologic studies had been done on this parcel; but that soil bor- ings had been required, with results still pending from the developer to staff. Mr. Schwartz advised that staff had soil boring data on file for Millwood Avenue ad- jacent to the development. Councilmember McGehee referenced tree preservation issues also raised from the neighbors, opining that additional information was needed on that. Mr. Paschke advised that the City had a Tree Preservation Policy in place and that the project would need to meet those requirements. At the request of Councilmember McGehee regarding whether or not the issues and questions received from neighbors had been addressed by staff, Mr. Paschke responded that they had not. Nathan Fair, Hanson Builders, 13432 Hanson Blvd., Andover, MN, Appli- cant Representative with Landmark 6 of Roseville, LLC and Hanson Build- ers Mr. Fair advised that they were still working with staff on a variety of issues for this Preliminary Plat, including working through the Tree Preservation Plan pre- pared for the project, and continuing to work on engineering aspects needed to ac- complish City Ordinance and Watershed requirements for a drainage plan. As a result of concerns expressed by neighbors at the Planning Commission's Public Hearing, Mr. Fair advised that their engineers were working with the City's engineering staff to add an additional pipe for water coming onto their property, but noted that those revisions were still pending. Mr. Fair expressed his firm's excitement in coming to Roseville with a project; and offered their willing- ness to meet with the neighborhood, even though this was a fairly small infill pro- ject of six lots, they hadn't felt it was necessary to hold an informational meeting. Mr. Fair clarified that he had met with some of the neighbors during the course of performing soil borings. Councilmember Willmus sought additional information and a response from the developer on the proposed grade levels and fill questions raised by the public, as well as screening of vehicle headlights north of the proposed development. Councilmember Willmus also sought clarification of the actual grade, where it was proposed to be raised, home designs and floor plans.
