5.8 Based on this conclusion that the intended future land-use designation as defined in Roseville's adopted Comprehensive Plan is "BP — Business Park" in a manner that is conceptually consistent with the mix of uses and stated goals that are described in the maps and text of the 2001 Master Plan, staff s conclusion is that the sought land-use approvals are not in conflict with Roseville's Comprehensive Plan. G.0 REVIEW OF RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENT VACATION: 6.1 The proposal for Twin Lakes West includes many road improvements (approximately 6. I acres) a road right-of-way vacation (approximately .7 acres) and a few easement vacations (approximately 136 acres). Rottlund is requesting the vacation of a small portion of the existing Mount Ridge Road right-of-way; 2 roadway easements pertaining to Mount Ridge Road; 3 roadway easements pertaining to Prior Avenue; 2 sewer easements; and 1 drainage easement. 6.2 The Development Review Committee (DRC) has reviewed the public right of way and easement vacation request and concluded that the road right-of-way and easements are no longer necessary to serve the public and can be vacated and new right-of-way and public infrastructure easements dedicated with the plat for Twin Lakes West. The proposed vacation will reduce infrastructure maintenance costs and will not adversely impact adjacent and/or contiguous properties. Such non-used or under-used rights-of-way, easements and utility corridors are not necessary for the public health, safety or welfare, and will be replaced with new appropriate alignments for future redevelopment within the Twin Lakes project area. 6.3 Detailed transportation plans will be developed as the development CONCEPT is further refined, and in response to any mitigation measures required by the environmental review process. These transportation plans would come back to the DRC and City Council as part of the Final Development Plan (PUD). 6.4 The Planning Staff has concluded that the proposed RIGHT-OF-WAY and EASEMENT VACATIONS do not conflict with Roseville's Comprehensive Plan and will serve to help achieve the goals of the approved Master Plan. PRELIMINARY PLAT: 6.5 When reviewing a PRELIMINARY PLAT associated with a planned unit development, the review process is different than the review process for single-family lot development having more traditional zoning. One of the differences is that the purpose of a PUD is to allow for flexibility in meeting the intent and cumulative impact of setbacks rather than imposing a strict setback requirement that may meet the standards for a single parcel, but does not reflect the larger context of the development within the PPUD. Another factor that plays a role in review is the fact that the existing City Code does not impose minimum lot size standards on commercial and, in some instances, certain residential developments.
