3.0 BACKGROUND g 3.1 The subject property, located in Planning District 16, has a Comprehensive Plan Land � o Use Designation of Low-Density Residential (LR) and a zoning classif'ication of Low- � � Density Residential-2 (LDR-2) District. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 32 When exercising the so-called "quasi judicial" authority when acting on a pLAT request, the role of the City is to determine the facts associated with a particular request and apply those facts to the legal standards contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the applicant meets the relevant legal standard, then they are likely entitled to the approval, although the City is able to add conditions to a plat approval to ensure that the likely impacts to roads, storm sewers, and other public infrastructure on and around the subject property are adequately addressed. 33 City Council review and action pertaining to the Moore's Farrington Estates p�LlMnv�Y pLAT was to occur as a preceding agenda item during the same City Council meeting as the requested review and action for the Fnv�, pLAT. This is a more condensed timeline than most plats for a couple of reasons: first, the plat itself is simple, requiring no new streets, major utilities, or public improvement contracts; and second, the applicant needs to take possession of the property in time to allow the Roseville Fire Department to utilize the buildings on the subject property for training exercises on a selected date in the middle of May 2014. While actions on final plats typically follow approvals of their respective preliminary plats by a number of weeks, the time between such actions is not regulated by State Statute or City Code. Instead, the time following approval of a preliminary plat is typically used by the applicant to refine the plat, grading, utility, and other details as required by the preliminary plat approvaL Those final details and documents have already been prepared by the present applicant and reviewed by City staff; if the PRELIMnv�Y PLAT is approved consistent with the recommendation of the Planning Commission, City staff has determined that the Frlv�, pLAT application may also be approved as presented. 35 4.0 36 4.1 37 38 39 FINAL PLAT ANALYSIS Plat proposals are reviewed primarily for the purpose of ensuring that all proposed lots meet the minimum size requirements of the zoning code, that adequate streets and other public infrastructure are in place or identified and constructed, and that storm water is addressed to prevent problems either on nearby property or within the storm water 40 system. 4� 42 The proposed FnvALpLAT meets the requirements for drainage and utility easements and 42 exceeds the minimum lot size requirements in the LDR-2 district. The proposed FnvAL 4s pLAT is included with this report as Attachment C. 4q� 43 Roseville's Public Warks Department staff has been warking with the applicant to 45 address the requirements related to grading, drainage, easements, and dedication of 46 additional right-of-way along both County Road B and Farrington Street. While these 4� details are essential parts of a pLAT application, the City Council is not asked to review 4$ and digest such engineering-related plans; instead, actions by the City Council typically 4g include conditions that such plans must ultimately meet the approval of Public Warks 5o staf£ To that end, Engineering staff has reviewed the subject plan and has returned some 5� comments to the applicant related to general site grading as it relates to storm water as 52� well as some general utility items; these items will be addressed to satisfy administrative PF14-002 Final RCA 042114.doc Page 2 of 4
