DAHLEN & DWYER, INC. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The property under analysis is a 13,51 0 SF vacant site located on the east side of Lexington Avenue N just to the north of County Road C in Roseville, Minnesota. The site has 701 of frontage along Lexington Avenue N and a depth of 1931. All services and utilities are available. Zoning is R 1 or Single Family Residential. The parcel is guided on the Roseville Comprehensive Plan as HR or High Density Residential. In 1 996, the City of Roseville established a Housing Replacement Program which was to help the City purchase, on a voluntary basis, outdated or non-code compliant structures that could not be economically rehabilitated or sold on the open market. The purpose of the program was to replace deteriorating lower value housing on scattered sites throughout the City with larger, higher value housing. The home located at 2668 Lexington Avenue N was approved by the Roseville City Council for purchase and subsequent demolition in the summer of 1998. Normally, the site would be sold for construction of a new single family dwelling. The main reason the subject site was not sold for single family residential development is that the Comprehensive Plan had the site guided as HR or High Density Residential. The Housing Replacement Program was amended by the Council at an April 10 meeting to ensure that the reuse of lots that were purchased under this program was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the subject site, if it were to be developed with a single family dwelling would more than likely require a variance. Subsequent to the City of Roseville purchasing the property, an offer was made by Mr. George Reiling who is proposing a senior housing development north and east of the subject site and would like to incorporate the subject into the project. The Roseville City Staff recommends -approval of the sale to Reiling as part of the proposed senior housing development in that its use is consistent with future land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan as High Density Residential. The final sale would be contingent upon the project being positively recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council under the Planned Unit Development process. 39
