that would be required as part of any application submitted to the Planning Commission, only items No.1 and NO.2 have been fulfilled. Items NO.3 and NO.4 at this point have not. Of particular importance, item NO.3 concerns what is possibly a wetland along the northern portion of the site. A wetland delineation must be done at the expense of the applicant. Permits must be obtained from all appropriate agencies in order to fill this wetland. The agencies include the City of Roseville, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Rice Creek Watershed District. This is of particular importance because it may affect the suitability for building on lots 1 and 2. This issue should be resolved before moving ahead with this project. 2. The amount of fill proposed for the north side of the plat is extreme when compared with the existing house directly to the north of Lots 1 and 2. The existing house is at an elevation of approximately 958 while the proposed lots are shown at an elevation of 964. The elevation on Lots 1 and 2 should be in the range of 960 to 962 to ensure compatibility with the existing property. 3. The proposed roadway and cul-de-sac are proposed to be public streets. Based on concerns raised by the Planning Commission at the sketch plan review, the street is proposed to be 26 feet in width which allows parking on one side. The required 60-foot right-of-way is provided for the roadway and a 120-foot diameter right-of-way is provided for the cul-de-sac. The roadway section must meet City of Roseville standards for a 7-ton design. 4. When Acorn Road was reconstructed as part of the 1995 PMP projects, residents, including Mr. Mueller, expressed a great deal of concern regarding trees. Many neighbors expressed an interest in maintaining a rustic appearance in the neighborhood. As a result, a great deal of effort was made to preserve existing trees. Also, an intensive landscaping plan was developed by the City to enhance the neighborhood. The proposed development would occur on a parcel of land that is heavily wooded. Many of the trees will need to be removed in order to perform the grading that is proposed. As requested, the applicant has provided an inventory of trees that exist on the site. The Commission and Council should consider requiring a landscaping plan that will keep the development consistent with the remainder of the lots in the area and, preferably, preserve as many of the existing mature trees as possible. 5. The proposed plat includes two parcels and a portion of a third parcel. The portion is part of a lot with PIN 08-29-23-44-0001. This lot will require a division of platted lot or the entire lot will need to be included as part of the plat. The owner(s) of the lot must sign the new plat if the entire lot is to be included. 6. The existing pond at the southwest corner of the plat along with the proposed 3
