Klosner-Goertz, Case No. 2497 Page 3 plan is only for the smallest berm. We assume the number of plants will be increased proportionally for the longer berms. the existing vegetation around the pond is being left as is, and no additional landscaping is proposed north of the sewer easement. The plan for the rest of the project is minimal and could be improved: 1) No planting is shown on the west side of the site adjacent to the cemetery. The previous Heritage proposal had a line of red cedars to screen this edge. A row of some type of taller evergreens would be appropriate. 2) The planting beds next to each structure are shown 18" wide. These should be at least 4' wide to support shrubs. 3) The sidewalk leading into each unit is shown 3' wide. We recommend 5' minimum. -. , 4) The plantings around each building and entry are 'sparse. The quantities should be increased by at least 50%, as well as adding ornamentals such as crab or amur maple, and evergreens (none are shown). The mock orange should be spaced 4' o.c. maximum. 5) The sizes for all plant materials should conform to Roseville's minimum standards: 2-1/2" caliper overstory trees, 6' height for evergreens, 5-gallon pot for shrubs. Enqineerinq Considerations An additional 4.5' of right-of-way dedication is needed for Larpenteur Avenue. The applicant has indicated he can revise the plan and still provide the setbacks noted in the zoning analysis above. A sidewalk needs to be constructed along Larpenteur Avenue. We have had discussions with the developer about utility services for the proj ect since the attached drawings were submi tted. We have worked out utility connections and, easements in an arrangement somewhat different than what is shown on the drawings for storm drainage, sewer, and water service (described below). The applicant will present these revised plans at the meeting. storm Drainaqe. The neighbors across Sweeney Pond were very concerned about storm drainage into the pond in the previous proposal. That proj ect was considerably more dense and had much more hard surface than the Goertz project. Although the city has no adopted standards that would require retention or treatment of stormwater before discharging into Sweeney Pond, we can impose additional reasonable standards on a PUD to give benefit to the City in exchange for flexibility on other standards within the PUD.
