6.2 The proposed redevelopment of the parcel into a professional office and supportive housing complex does not require expansion or extension of City infrastructure such as utilities and streets. 6.3 Jobs and Value: The four parcels have a current land and building value of $284, 1 000 (Ramsey County Assessor). The Accessible Space project value is estimated at $2.5 million including property acquisition and site development costs. The non-profit housing project will not generate property taxes. The supportive housing project is anticipated to employ three to four fulltime job equivalents, but no more than two employees at any given time. 6.4 The VSI office complex is estimated at $1.28 million for its site development cost. The office complex will annually pay in excess of $22,000 in property taxes. The applicants estimate that there will be 4 to 6 jobs per 4,000 sq. ft. of office space or approximately 16 to 24 jobs. It is possible that some of these jobs will be filled by qualified candidates/residents of the adjacent new apartment building. 7.0 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS: 7.1 The design of both structures should be compatible with the general context and human scale of the neighborhood for both architecture design and building materials. Though each structure incorporates a hip roof to lower overall height, other architectural elements should be incorporated to further enhance each structure and reduce linear mass. This could include different sets of windows, large expanses of similar facade materials, contextually matching brick, and dormers. 7.2 The conceptual landscape plan, including proposed fencing, provides a starting point to begin discussion on both boulevard and site landscaping. The plan must be revised to incorporate plantings within Lexington Avenue and Roselawn Avenue consistent with the Street Tree Master Plan. As well, care must be given to the choice of screening used between the parking lot and adjacent apartment complex and the east property line and the adjacent residential properties. 7.3 The Public Works Department is currently reviewing the grading, drainage, and utility plans proposed with the General Concept Plan submittal. All plans, including the location of fire hydrants and utility services connections, require the approval of the Public Works Department (see attached memo). 7.4 All buildings, debris, and any soil contamination must be removed from the site prior to the issuance of a building permits. 7.5 Signage must be an integral part of the architectural plans and sign banding and monument signage locations must be designated on the site. 7.6 Sharing of parking and access must be accomplished by legal document binding both property owners.
