3.2 The 18-unit apartment complex would have 14 one bedroom units, 2 two bedroom, and 2 three bedroom units. The applicant has indicated that the units will be rented at market rate, however, no rental figure is available form the developer. No government subsidies are requested for this structure. 3.3 The proposed rezoning would be a "down-zoning" from the current B-2 business district zone in which most single purpose retail buildings or uses could be constructed, including cafes, restaurants, medical offices, theatres, banks and other similar uses. Fast food restaurants including drive-thru's, fuel sales and auto service stations (minor repairs) are conditional uses. 3.4 The vacant parcel is currently wooded and includes a DNR protected wetland on the north 1/3 of the parcel. The vacant parcel lies between the Roseville Baptist Church and Children's World Day Care and just west of the intersection of County Road B-2 and Rice Street. Single Family Residential (R-I) zoned property lies to the south and west (including the church property); Two Family Residential District property lies to the north; and B-2 & B-3 zoned property lies to the east. 3.5 The site is wooded to the edge of the protected pond. The trees grew upon the site after in was filled in the 1960's. The proposed site plan would locate the 18-unit apartment complex on the east side of the parcel and the off-street surface lot on the west side of the parcel adjacent to the church parking. A storm water management pond is proposed to the rear (north) of the complex and adjacent to the existing wetland. 3.6 Most of the trees in the building pad, parking lot, and storm water pond areas would be removed. The parcel would be cleared and graded to appropriately accommodate the proposed complex. There is approximately 10 feet of elevation difference on the parcel; the grade of the parcel would slope from south (high) to north (low). 3.7 The proposed apartment complex will have a height or 26 feet as measured per the Uniform Building Code, which is under the 30-foot maximum height allowance. Proposed building materials incorporate asphalt shingles, rock-faced block, four and eight-inch vinyl siding, and a concrete sill. The soffit and fascia would be aluminum and the structure is required to have gutters or roof drains to properly remove roof drainage. 3.8 Landscaping comprised of trees, shrubs and perennials is proposed throughout the parcel and meets Code requirements. Staff, prior to the issuance of a building permit, will complete a detailed review. PF3293 - RCA 032601 Page 2 of8
