MendotA Homes, Inc. P.O. Box 416 Forest LAke, MN 55025 November 11, 1997 City of Roseville Planning and Community Development Attn: Kfm Lee 2660 Civic Center Drive RoseviUe, MN 55113 Dear Ms. Lee, PF18~' e~"'bit ~ I : I We are proposing a 30 unit condominium buil..ling to be built on it t.h.r ,-plus acre site at the southwest comer of County Road C2 and State Highw {S8. It will be It three story brick and stucco bujJding with underground par i~g. The site itself is relatively flat with A large wetland area located appro .JII'1.ately in the comer of the parcel. Our proposal would leave this wetland area . :~act and place the building and accompanying parking lot east of the wetlands '1'here are two single family homes located west of th.is property and, if our prop ~al is approved as designed, the wetlands will be between our buildings an ltihe single family homes. ! : The proposed building and parking lot will be located closet to the we ~.nd than your ordinance allows and we wiII require a setback variance from th #-etlands. I think you can see we have sufficient land area (three-plus acres), ho eter, the location of the wetland area in the center of the property renders the e~t side of the parcel inaccessible. Doth the building and the parking lot need to Ion the east side of the properly. We have 30 parking spaces in the parking lo.nd an additional 30 spaces located under the buildit\p,- , I Our landscap~ plan calls for lantlscilpe edging and landscape rock as tU as shrub plantings around the building. OUf tree plantings will be on th .~st and north sides of th~ building and the eel!>., north, and south ~ide!; of the ~king lot. As there are very few tTees between the building and State Highway 8 " we felt trees would provide an excellent screen from the hiKhway. Additiona~, some trees will screen parking from the street (County Road 2). There cu'e w :Uands as a natural backdrop on the west side of the building. ;:O;SOd t6?:~889 .!. ~Lolt>. 7-8<;j~9~<;< Wt:l 65: t 1: a3M .U::.-7 t -....,':IN
