Attachment C <br />The owner of 1255 Larpenteur Avenue West is seeking a building permit for a new <br />building on the site. <br />The project site and the proposed building are located in the 522 acre Gottfried pit sub- <br />watershed, a landlocked basin, which is owned and operated by Ramsey County. The <br />pit has a constructed berm around it, which allows water to stage up to elevations <br />higher than the surrounding properties. Due to this berm, the 100-year high water <br />elevation of Gottfried pit is 919.26 feet. <br />The proposed finish floor elevation of the building is 912.00 feet. In order to meet the <br />freeboard requirements, the finish floor elevation of the building would need to be set at <br />921.26 feet, or over 9 feet higher than proposed and approximately 11 feet higher than <br />the curb along Larpenteur Avenue. <br />This site is currently developed with an existing building, with a finish floor lower than <br />the 100-year flood elevation of 919.26 feet. This is also the case for all the existing <br />buildings in Roseville located along Larpenteur Avenue in the vicinity of the site. <br />A similar request for construction of a building expansion with a finish floor elevation <br />below the 100-year flood elevation was presented to and approved by the City in 2007. <br />Said property, located at 1233 Larpenteur Avenue East, is located immediately east of <br />the project site. <br />The required finish floor elevation of 921.26 feet is impractical for this site, due to the <br />size of the property, existing on-site building elevation, and is inconsistent with the <br />situation of adjacent properties. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
