Exhib'rt D: <br />Ana{ysis of Conformance with 2001 Master Plan Planning Principtes <br />The 2001 Twin Lakes Master Plan articulates ten "broad planning princip}es (pages 2-3)" t}iat <br />infornied the Twin Lakes Retzewal Process. The following analysis exarnines if the concept plan <br />submitted by Ratt[und Builders meets the principles set forward in the adopted Master Plan. The <br />discLlssion considers the proposal from the vantage point of eaeh prineiple. <br />l. Create a buffer to protect 1nd enhance the public enjoy�ment of Laugton Lake <br />This concepf plan proposes a storniwater detention ponding systenl to provide primary treatment <br />of stonnwater before it flows into Langton Lake. Cun-ently stormwater runs from impenneable <br />stirfaces directly into Langton Lake. The new stormwater panding system will allow for <br />sedi�nent to precipitate out of the storm�vater prior to its discharge into the lake, �vhich will <br />improve overall �vater quaiity within the lake. As conceptualized, the pondiilg system ��ill also <br />provide a buffer bet���een the development and Langton Lake Park. <br />In addition to buffering the lake and park fi-om the development, the plan also proposes increased <br />pathway connections to the lake and associated parktand and provides greater public access to <br />the opei� space. <br />?. Protect the i•esiciential neighborhoods «ith less intrusive land uses <br />This eoal is not applicable to this specific proposaL This proposal describes fiiture land uses for a <br />subset of the larger project area. This specific portion of the redevelopment area addressed by <br />this proposal is internal to the larger project area. As such, the proposed development associated <br />with this plan does not abut existing residential neighborhoods. <br />3. Create a livable environment with a mix of uses <br />This concept plan suggests that this development will create a livable, mixed-use environment <br />through pedestrian connectivity, open space enhancement, and work-li��e opportunities. This pIan <br />calls for an interconnected sidewalk system to be constructed along both sides of streets, «�hich <br />allows for safe pedestrian connections in the area; those who work and live in the developnlent <br />will be able to get from any point to another oi� foot. In addition, streetscape enhancements, as <br />proposed, will create an aesthetically pleasing area in which to walk. The construction of housin� <br />adjacent to the parkland creates a mix of uses that benefit each other: the housing acts as a buffer <br />betwee�l the open space and the more active commercial development, and the park creates a <br />visual amenity for those living in the new housing. Finally, the integration of housing and <br />commercial within the same development allows for a work-live environment that is not <br />typically available in Roseville. The concept plan indicates that there �vill be several housing <br />types at different price points that will appeal to a variety of potential o�vners. <br />4. Create compatibility behveen uses and building design <br />Building design is not addressed in a conceptual plan submittal. This element is part of the final <br />approval of a Planned Unit Development process. In its review of the concept plan, the city staff <br />has opened a dialogue with the development team to begin to address specific site design <br />
