Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, July 9, 2014 Page 4 Member Daire advised that he had visited the site earlier today, and noted the downhill 145 gradient bottoming out in the middle of where the berm was being shown. 146 Mr. Hanson concurred, noting that, while it couldn’t be completely blocked off, the berm 147 could be used to create planting and visual amenities to direct eyes to the plantings 148 versus the house. 149 Member Stellmach questioned if the rain gardens and berms would be maintained by the 150 homeowners or by an association. 151 Applicant Nathan Fair, partner of Landmark of Roseville, LLC 152 Mr. Fair advised that, typically with larger Landmark developments, they created an 153 association. However, with this smaller development of five lots, covenants would be put 154 in place that the owner of Lot 5 would maintain the berm, and owners of Lots 3 and 4 155 would maintain the rain garden. 156 Vice Chair Boguszewski closed Public Hearing at 7:23 p.m.; no one spoke for or against. 157 Member Daire noted that, between the open house and formal presentation of this 158 preliminary plat, the developer had reduced the development from six to five lots. 159 MOTION 160 Member Stellmach moved, seconded by Member Murphy to recommend to the City 161 Council APPROVAL of the proposed PRELIMINARY PLAT for the residential 162 property at 301 – 305 S Owasso Blvd., into five lots; based on the comments and 163 findings, and subject to conditions as detailed in the staff report dated July 9, 164 2014. 165 Ayes: 6 166 Nays: 0 167 Motion carried. 168 Anticipated City Council review of this Case is scheduled for July 21, 2014. 169 b. PROJECT FILE 001, Subdivision Ordinance 170 Request by the Community Development Department to amend in its entirety Title 171 11, Subdivision of Roseville City Code 172 Vice Chair Boguszewski opened the Public Hearing for Project File 001 at 7:24 p.m. 173 Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request as detailed in the staff report dated July 174 9, 2014; and similar to the rewrite of the 2010 zoning code, and reformatted accordingly; 175 and staff’s request for Planning Commission feedback before moving forward. 176 Discussion 177 Vice Chair Boguszewski noted, in general, other than alignment and reconciliation, City 178 Code and Subdivision Code seemed to be moving toward a higher level versus specific 179 detail. Vice Chair Boguszewski opined that this should make it simpler for changes to 180 occur versus the current extensive process. Vice Chair Boguszewski noted that revisions 181 could also address the potential for a Large Lot Zoning District, as discussed preliminarily 182 in the past. Vice Chair Boguszewski also noted that the recommended changes would 183 allow documentation triggering certain zoning or specific guidance of regulatory code to 184 occur at a lower level versus having to make revisions to overarching documents. 185 Mr. Lloyd concurred, and reviewed the proposed changes to the Subdivision Code that 186 included areas that were redundant to other Codes or regulated in Zoning Districts (e.g. 187 lot sizes and various uses). Mr. Lloyd advised that the Subdivision Code was intended to 188 provide direction in how to address lot sizes and applicable districts, but not to actually 189 proscribe lot size itself. 190 Vice Chair Boguszewski opined that he personally thought this was a great idea. 191 Member Stellmach questioned the process for items removed and put in other 192 applications and whether those would be accomplished at the staff level. 193
