McGehee moved, Etten seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1467 (Attachment C) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Title 10, Zoning Ordinance of the Rose- ville City Code;" amending the "CMU Statement of Purpose. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Willmus; Etten; and Roe Nays: None. c. Request by J. W. Moore, Inc., holder of Purchase Agreement for the Resi- dential Property at 297-311 County Road B, for Approval of a Rezoning from LDR-1 to LDR-2, and a Preliminary Plat creating Seven (7) Residential Lots Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd summarized this request as detailed in the RCA dated April 21, 2014, and related attachments. Mr. Lloyd noted that the request had three elements: rezoning from LDR-1 to LDR-2; a preliminary plat application creating seven lots from the existing two; and vacating an existing storm sewer and drainage easement to establish a new one for development overall. Related to the Tree Preservation Ordinance, Mr. Lloyd noted that many of the trees slotted for removal to facilitate the relocated drainage easement were of Cot- tonwood and/or Boxelder species, and therefore not required for replacement from the City's perspective. Mr. Lloyd displayed the preliminary plat, and pro- posed realignment of the drainage easement versus the existing site in order to in- corporate infiltration ponding. Mr. Lloyd noted that the City's engineering staffs' analysis and review with the applicant was nearing finalization. Councilmember Willmus expressed his interest in assuring that LDR-2 allow re- stricting development of duplexes or townhomes if rezoned. Setting this particu- lar plat aside, and at the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Lloyd advised that the City could not legally require that rezoning be conditioned if a use was permitted or permitted as a conditional use. Councilmember Willmus asked staff to speak to if and how the property could be developed without rezoning, as ad- dressed in Section 4.2 of the staff report. Mr. Lloyd displayed a sketch he'd made of a potential layout based on dimensions and how those lots would look based on their distinct widths and depths. Mr. Lloyd opined that it would be possible to achieve the layout, but wouldn't repre- sent similarities to other lots in the areas; with the drainage also becoming more problematic with LDR-1 zoning versus LDR-2 and drainage relocated as pro- posed.
