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 vacating, 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. Ayes: 5 - 0 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 defme lot coverage definitions and to consider whether street easements should be included in the lot coverage. Ayes: 5 - 0 Motion carried.
