r � � APPLEWOOD POINTE F/NAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN United Properties is excited about the continued opportunity to work with the City of Roseville in locating an Applewood Pointe Cooperative Community on the Cleveland Avenue site. The general concept plan was approved by the City Council during the June 18, 2007 City Council meeting. The final development plan is essentially unchanged from the plan submitted in the general concept plan application and approval process. We continue to believe that this plan is ideal for this site and the City of Roseville for a number of reasons: COOPERATIVE The senior cooperative will be a 4-story, 95-unit building. The Cooperative is a"for sale" property for independent seniors age 55 and older. The building will have underground parking for the owners providing one stall per unit. Surface parking includes 50 additional stalls on the north side of the building. The community will include 13 unique floor plans ranging from an 835 square foot one bedroom, one bath unit to a 1,764 square foot two bedroom with den unit. Cooperative members own a share of the entire building and grounds, and have a right to occupy a specific unit. Each member purchases a share in the Limited Equity Corporation, and has equal voting status in electing the Cooperative Board of Directors from their membership. Cooperative housing combines the advantages of pride of home ownership with the conveniences of community living. The exterior of the building will consist of brick, stucco, and maintenance-free lap siding. The roof will be asphalt shingled. Residents will have no individual exterior building maintenance obligations. The interior will include a community room with small serving kitchen, a 2-story entrance lobby with multiple seating areas, a library, a sun room, game and craft rooms, and an office for the on-site manager. Additional amenities include a guest suite, an exercise room with sauna, and a carwash and woodworking shop. Residents will enjoy a social, interactive, and healthy lifestyle. United Properties has worked closely with city staff in developing this community under a PUD that conforms to city standards and is environmentally sensitive. Many meetings and discussions were committed in ensuring that the project does not encroach into adjacent wetlands and the level of wetland enhanceinents that can be kept. We are proposing to iinprove hydrology and restore wetland vegetation to improve the overall quality of these wetlands. Special attention was made to develop a plan focusing on protecting the majority of the existing trees around the perimeter of the property. Extensive landscaping was added along the north property line and throughout the site providing buffering to our neighbors. The addition of extensive landscaping and the incorporation of a public trail provide a connection to the wetland south of our site to Langton Lake Park were stemmed from our discussions with staff. We understand that the creation of these paths would need to be approved by the City and the Parks and Recreation Committee, but our goal would be to create an amenity that would benefit Langton Lake Park and our Applewood community. As detailed a little further in this narrative, United Properties would be willing to absorb a portion or all of this cost in exchange for a waiver of Park Dedication Fees. In essence, a portion of these fees would be used to improve or create an extension of the Park.
