JW Moore, Inc. 714 Pennington Place Vadnais Heights, MN 55127 Overview of Proposed Development: Regarding the property legally described as Lots 14 through 21, Block 4, Rolling Green. The property at the intersection of Woodruff and South McCarron's, legally described as above, is currently zoned R1 and platted into eight, 50 foot wide, single family lots. We are proposing to re-plat the land into 4large single family lots, by shifting the current platted lot lines and incorporating the vacation of Chandler Avenue. This would meet or exceed the R1 zoning density requirernents. Our proposal would include a new city street, entering off of Woodruff, which would allow access for the 4 new home sites. The shifting of the lot lines and incorporation of Chandler Avenue would allow the lots to be larger, especially the eastern most lot, thus preventing any driveway access onto Woodruff directly. We would also propose shifting the cul-de-sac 20 feet to the South, out of the current street right of way and cutting into the two western most lots. This shift would enhance the buffer area between the new street and Reservoir Park. In designing this re-plat, we are attempting to preserve as many tree's as possible on the perimeter of the property. This would aid in buffering the new homes sites from the existing neighborhood and Reservoir Park. We are also going to include adequate ponding, which will add to the look and quality of the development as well as aid in the filtration of the water from both the existing neighborhood and the new development area. The proposal will also include the re- routing and replacing of the current sanitary sewer line so it does not interfere with the proposed building pads. In summary, we feel these 4 new home sites will be a positive addition to the current neighborhood. The low number of new homes that will be added will have little impact on local traf�c, especially because all of the driveways will enter on the new street and not on an existing road. Also, because of the higher price point of the homes, we would be creating opportunities for families to move-up into larger, newer homes and remain in the city of Roseville.
