6.0 PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: 6.1 On May 1, 2002, the Roseville Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the revised General Concept Plan. At this hearing the majority of the citizens present and those who e-mailed staff and Commissioners, supported the March 4 office proposal (two story structure placed on the newly created property line along Lexington Avenue; placed ten feet off the newly created property line along Roselawn Avenue; and with parking behind the structure) and the April 15 supportive housing proposal (structure setback 27 feet from Roselawn Avenue with storm pond in southeast comer of parcel). 6.2 Specifically, citizens ex pre sed their confusion over the process and why an additional hearing was necessary when they and the Commission overwhelmingly supported the March 4 proposal. 6.3 Citizens further indicated concerns with the revised (April 15th) General Concept Plan regarding the office structure including the height of the structure being overwhelming and out of context with the residential character of the neighborhood; the pedestrian unfriendliness of the revised plan, exhibited with the large parking lot in front adjacent to the sidewalk; 6.4 The citizens expressed their support for the increased setback of the supportive housing structure and voiced their opposition to placing the storm water management pond in the front yard. (Mr. Pawlek the neighbor to the east of the site, expressed concern for the location of the building anywhere near his house, but was supportive of the uses in general.) 6.5 Each planning commission member indicated their support for the April 15, 2002 supportive housing building with its 27 foot setback from the newly created property line along Roselawn Avenue and an office structure placed ten feet from the newly created property line along Roselawn Avenue and zero to one foot from the newly created property line along Lexington Avenue. The Commission stated that the March 4, 2002 office design and parking locations were more appropriate for the comer lot; screened the parking with the building; created a pedestrian friendly walkway and path; complemented the adjacent residential neighborhood; and were consistent with Comprehensive Plan and best addressed the concerns of the adjacent neighborhood. 6.6 The Planning Commission unanimously (6 - 0) voted to recommend approval ofthe March 4 General Concept Plan for the office building, its location and site design and the April 15, revised General Concept Plan for the supportive housing building, its location and site design. 7.0 SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTION 7.1 By motion, approve the March 4 General Concept Plan for the office building and site design and the April 15 supportive housing building and site design for the southeast corner of Lexington Avenue and Roselawn Avenue as consistent with the Roseville Comprehensive Plan, City Code, and as best addressing the neighborhood concerns.
