City of Roseville - Planning Commission Page 3 of 10 Motion carried. Member Rhody questioned changing the interpretation of the lot coverage. Motion: Member Rhody moved, seconded by Member Egli, to recommend that Council work with staff to define lot coverage definitions and to consider whether street easements should be included in the lot coverage. Ayes: 5 - 0 Mo' 6b. Planning File 3159. A request by Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. for Concept consideration of a Residential Planned Unit Development (R-PUD) to redevelop the four (4) acre Knights of Columbus site into a 79 unit, three storyo assisted living care facility. The proposal requires a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Business (B) to High Density Residential (HD) and a rezoning from B 1, Limited Business to Planned Unit Development with an underlying zoning of R7, apartment Park District, on property generally located at 2225 Snelling Avenue. Chair Klausing opened the hearing and requested Dennis Welsch to provide a verbal summary of the January 12, 2000 staff report concerning the proposal. Mr. Welsch explained background and recommendations from the James Addition Task Force. Staff recommended concept approval. Mike Concilla, Sunrise representative, introduced the company, explained the project, noting it was a 79 unit building. There would be 120 to 150 trips per day at off-peak hours. The architecture of the building was described. Mr. Concilla explained the decision to locate along Snelling was purposely made to provide a site close to families and activities in an established community. A video was shown of the recently (December 1999) opened Sunrise Home in Edina. Mr. Concilla noted that the proposed project is similar to the Edina site, adjacent to the residential area and a commercial area on the other site. Member Egli asked what the cost of living in these units would be ($55 to $155/day). Member Rhody asked for clarification - is it a senior market rate rental (yes), Craig Christenson, 2585 Wheeler, Chair of the James Addition Task Force, stated he generally supported the project as cost effective and was consistent with the Task Force recommendations. He recommended one way roads, joint parking for the park, and a pathway continuation from the current end of the path, down to the Oakcrest area. Craig Christenson also recommended berming and landscaping to deaden the sound. He also recommended rounding off the intersection of the frontage road with Oakcrest. Member Rhody asked if there was concern about building mass. Craig Christenson noted the building will be along the east side of the site and should not be a problem. Diane Harris, 2550 Snelling, expressed concern regarding traffic, height of building, and lighting. Mr. Concilla explained that the building is to be 41 feet in height, with residential lighting, meant to look like a house. There being no further comments from the public, Chair Klausing closed the hearing. Chair Klausing explained the past decisions of the Commission and expressed support, noting this project will be set as far from the neighborhood as possible and expressed the need to pay attention to lighting and building mass. http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/pmOOOI12.htm 11/03/2000
