City ofRoseville - Planning Commission Page 2 of 10 Mar Mall, 2100 Snelling Avenue, and recommended acceptance of the new replacement utility easement, based on the findings outlined in the staff report of January 12, 2000, Section 3.1 - 3.5. The vacation needs to stand on its own merit. Scott Smith, Bradley/Har Mar Managero and Greg Kopishkeo site planner for Har Mar, described the re- routing and function of the utilities within the proposed easement. Chair Klausing asked what the minor addition to the flow would be and whether the proposed building would require larger capacity? (no) Member Egli asked if there were engineering changes since March of 1999. (no) (The City Council denied the request in 1999 because it was premature to completion of a moratorium study,) Member Egli asked if the parking capacity was adequate. Staff response was the parking is adequate. Thomas Paschke explained the parking and the lot coverage of the site. Greg Kopishke noted that even at peak periods there is adequate parking. Member Cunningham asked about storm flooding issues in 1996, and whether the new ordinance would have adequate storm ponding in relation to new requirements for berming and screening, Greg Kopishke explained the new storm water proposal, increasing storage two to three times and constricted outflow by 50% during peak flow. Deb Bloom explained the research and planning for ponding and storms was no greater than a ten-year storm. The proposal by the Mall will improve storm water storage. There will be no undue strain or impact on the existing system. Public Comment. Mark Battis, 1413 Eldridge, noted that the new Ordinance passed December 1999 required 25% coverage. He reviewed calculations for lot coverage in the staff report. He noted the property calculation into Snelling and County Road B expands the site. If those areas are excluded, the site is overdeveloped by 3% (28% total). Mr. Battis said the project is already over the 25% lot coverage. Mr. Battis asked the Planning Commission to recommend the issue of lot coverage be considered by the City Council. Chair Klausing closed the public hearing. Motion: Member Rhody moved, seconded by Member Wilke, to recommend approval of the request for vacation of certain utility and drainage easements located on the southeast side of the former HomePlace facility and acceptance of a replacement utility easement, based on the following findings as outlined in the staff report of January 12, 2000: 1. The Roseville Engineering Department has reviewed, provided comments, and with the addition of a manhole, approved the proposed design and plans to relocate public utilities. They have determined there is no change in the capacity of the utility services, and only a minor addition to the flow. As-built drawings will be required upon completion of the relocation. The Engineering Department has also determined the proposed easement to be adequate to accommodate the reconstruction of the existing utilities. All easement documents must be recorded prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the new building on the site. 2, The applicant (Bradley) is responsible for the full cost of vacatingo moving and reconstructing the utilities. 3. The applicant (Bradley) must submit a utility plan and all utility and drainage easement documents and legal description for the easement to the Engineering Department. The City must release the existing utility and drainage easement upon the recording of the new utility and drainage easement.
