satisfied on a cash in lieu ofjand basis. The fonnula for this contribution is based on $400.00 per " townhome unit. Vehicle Traffic The planned unit development is proposing 16 townhome units on this site, creating a gross project density of 5 units per acre, Staff estimates that there will be between 30-40 residents in this new subdivision. Using ITE traffic standards of 5 vehicle trips per townhouse unit per day, the new subdivision would generate approximately 80 vehicle trips per day. The majority of this traffic would be moving onto Lexington Avenue, through the controlled intersection at Roselawn. City Code requires two parking spaces per townhouse unit. One covered and one uncovered. With this design, the developer is proposing a 2-car garage for each unit with parking in tront of the unit for two additional cars. With the 26 foot wide roadway, the private street is not wide enough for street parking, To accomplish parking on one side of the street, it would need to be widened to a 28 foot roadway. As the private street connects with Oxford and Draper on the proposed site plan, it does so through 30 feet of right-of-way dedicated for the once proposed connection of Oxford Street through to Roselawn. This connection is not needed and the right-of-way can be vacated to the adjacent property owners as a part of this planned unit development review process. Mr. Michael Christofore, the neighbor to the east on Draper Avenue, has indicated an interest in having a portion of this right-of-way vacated to him, 3, Engineering staff' has reviewed this proposal and have made the following recommendations: a, A contribution to the sidewalk fund will be required for the Roselawn Avenue frontage, b, A curb cut will be required at Oxford Street and will need to be constructed to Roseville standards. c. The preliminary utility design and storm water ponding have been reviewed by Engineering staff and have been found to meet City standards and requirements, Staff will need to review final Engineering plans and specifications prior to final stage approval. LandsC3pe Plan The landscape plan prepared for the proposed Rose Villa subdivision is based on a strong peripheral planting plan showing year round interest combined with foundation pJantings for each unit. To provide additional screening, staff'has suggested to the developer that additional benning, along th~ ,north prciperty line be incorporated into the grading plan. This would strengthen the separation between Rose Villa and the existing single family neighbors to the north. The plantings along Roselawn,Avenue, in combination with the benning, help screen and break up , the building massing along Rosela;wn. 4.
