subdivision regulations is carried out simultaneously with the review of the PUD. This provision applies whether the PUD includes one parcel or multiple parcels. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Bradley Real Estate owns the property occupied by Roseville Center, as well as the two properties formerly occupied by the Margolis Nursery and Fina Petroleum. The shopping center and Fina parcels are located in a SC, Shopping Center District, and the Margolis parcel is located in a B-1, Limited Business District. Adjacent land uses include a combination of residential and commercial to the north and south, and commercial to the east and west. In order to upgrade the center, Bradley Real Estate is proposing to combine the three parcels into a three lot subdivision and designate the entire development as a planned unit development. 2.2 The site development plan for the Center has been continuously modified and improved since the original application was submitted in September 1997. The overall flow of traffic on the site, as well as to and from the site off public rights-of- way, has been improved by relocating a curbcut on Larpenteur Avenue West further to the west (southwest of Taco Bell), modifying the Taco Bell drive-through, modifying the Snyder Drug drive-through, and realigning off-street parking areas west of Taco Bell and east of Snyder Drug. The site development plan was also modified to include the design elements outlined in the Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape Master Plan, provide improved pedestrian access to the site, increase the amount of landscaping on the site, and integrate the overall design and appearance of the buildings and signage for the Center and Taco Bell, and provide pylon signs which are Agrounded.::: 2.3 Proposed improvements to the facade of the building include replacement of the roof with a new painted metal standing seam roof with a 12 inch vertical cornice (slate blue), installation of a removable metal panel raceway which will also be used as a sign band (neutral), brick column enclosures including a broken block base (Kasota stone appearance )and painted metal caps matching the roof color. A center tower is also proposed, which includes a broken block base planter with pin mounted painted metal letters identifying Roseville Center and a painted metal cap, brick columns, painted metal plates, I-beam columns, metal panels, and backlit Kalwall glazing panels with translucent acrylic letters (signs for inside tenants). Kalwall glazing panels are a fiberglass material often used for skylights and walls where a translucent quality is desired. The design of the center tower is intended to reflect the tracery metal and translucent material elements of greenhouse design (as outlined in the Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape Master Plan). Additional towers with the same design elements may also be placed at either end of the building, depending on the overall cost of improvements. The north side of the building will also be painted with a complementary color. 2.4 The two existing overall center pylons will be replaced with new pylons of the same height and width as the existing signs. The sign along Larpenteur Avenue will be 30 feet in height and 19 feet in width and the sign along Lexington Avenue will be 25 feet in height and 17 feet in width. Both signs will have broken block base PF#2963 - RCA (02/09/98) - Page 2 of 7
