matters as the City may find to have a material bearing on the stated standards and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The planned unit development review process also requires coordination with the subdivision regulations; therefore, subdivision review in accordance with the City's subdivision regulations is carried out simultaneously with the review of the PUD. This provision applies whether the PUD includes one parcel or multiple parcels. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Mendota Homes, Inc. holds a purchase agreement for a 2.97 acre parcel (2.8 acres with required right-of-way dedication for County Road C2) at the intersection of County Road C2 and Highway 88, which is owned by Williams Pipeline Company. The property is located in an R1, Single Family Residential District, and is designated as MR, Medium Density Residential (4-10 dwelling units per acre) on the City's Comprehensive Plan Map. Adjacent land uses include single family residential to the north across County Road C2, industrial to the east and southeast across Highway 88 (Williams Brothers tank farm), single family residential on large lots directly to the west, town homes (medium density residential) to the west across Old Highway 8, and condominium buildings (high density residential) to the southwest. 2.2 The project will include a three-story 30 unit condominium building toward the northeast corner of the triangular-shaped parcel. The exterior finish of the building will be brick and stucco. The main entrance will be on the southeast side of the building (along State Highway 88) and this area will be heavily landscaped. A secondary door on the north side of the building will provide access from the parking area off County Road C2. The project as proposed includes 27 two-bedroom/two- bath units and three one-bedroom/one-bath units. The building will also have an elevator serving each floor and an underground parking garage with one space for each unit. A community room and exercise facilities will also be provided for the residents. The off-street parking area and the underground parking garage will be accessed from County Road C2. The target market for this phase of the project is seniors and empty nesters, with units priced around $90,000. 2.3 The property will be subdivided as shown on the final plat of Roseville Commons. The plat includes the dedication of 33 feet of right-of-way for County Road C2 (currently an easement) and dedication of utility and drainage easements as required by the Director of Public Works. 2.4 An existing wetland on the parcel provides a natural barrier between this structure and the single family residences directly to the west. While this wetland serves as an amenity for the property, it does present some challenges in site design. The applicant has been working with the Rice Creek Watershed District to develop a wetland mitigation plan, with replacement wetlands being provided at a two-to-one ratio on site.
