3. The Kehr-Borgstrom-Salverda-Britz and Booth 39 unit devel.opment will add approximately 58 new residents, generate between 240 and 270 total traffic movements (in and out) and add an estimated $5.8 million in new housing development. Redevelopment of Properties to the West 1 . The key to the future of the area to the west of the Kehr Property is the American Legion parcel. They have officially stated that they have no current plans to change the use of this site. The two single family lots that front on County Road C would be expensive and have limited potential for redevelopment without the broader context of the American Legion Property. Both of the single family lot owners are opposed to any change. 2. The transition between MR and LR can be effectively made at the west property line of the Kehr PUD. (This transition is made somewhat more difficult since the garage and retaining wall on the property to the west of Kehr actually encroach onto the Kehr Property). This can be reviewed in greater detail with the review of the PUD. Summarv and Recommendation 1. Through the VISTA 2000 process and the work that has been done to date on the Comprehensive Plan, the City ofRoseville has strongly supported the need to provide the type of housing that is being proposed by Mr. Kehr. The property under consideration meets the objective criteria that have been discussed by the Planning Commission for locating this type of medium density residential use in the City. It is seldom easy to facilitate this type of change in a fully developed City. Mr. Kehr has been at this project for some 10 years now. 2. Through the strategic use of the Comprehensive Plan and the PUD, the City can successfully facilitate this transition and the interests of the affected property owners can be protected. There are four property owners between Kehr and Dale Street. Two of the four have indicated their basic support for this change. The Britz duplex is on a lot that is approximately 10,800 sq. ft. That is an effective density of approximately 8 units per acre, 2 units per acre higher density than proposed by Mr. Kehr, and consistent with the MR density range. When looked at in its entirety, a regional storm water ponding facility makes sense, perhaps in the area along and east of Dale Street where leaves are currently composted. 3. Importantly, all of these property owners control whether or not they sell their property. In the review of the PUD, the staff attempt to respond directly to their plans and address compatibility issues in the design process. 4. The properties to the west should not be considered for a land use change unless it is the context of the redevelopment of the American Legion Property. The Legion 4
