GI\J. I BRE_1UW~ ~ROJECT Dominium Group and Gordie Howe are ~etore this City Council requesting approval of the same project that was previously 3.pproveJ unanimously in 1988. See the ~ite plan attached as Exhibit B. There ar~ no substantive chan;es from the Brutger proposal to the current pr~posal. The property is zoned fi-3A and the project as proposed would have a density of 18.34 units per acre. This is an acceptable density per your zoning code and in fact this project. if approved. will have a dwelling unit per acre density of less than a majority of tt-.e lUul ti -fam 1 y developments 'lhich currently exist in Roseville. See attached Exhibit c. . YOUL zoning code states t~at in the R-3A 20ninq district any bUilding over twenty-four units ~iil require a special use permdt. If the developer would have chosen to build this project in three separate buildings of twenty-fo~r units each. you would h,ve had to issue a builcing permit. Three twenty-four unit buildings would be 2 permitted use in the R-3A zonin~ district and when there is a permitt~ use. a bu:;,lding permit must be iss~~. Due to cost =onstraints. ~be developer chose to build one bU11ding of seventy- thre~ uc.i ts rather than thr~e twenty-four unit bui J dings. Ooe buDding as proposed by the developer does I\ot increase che density per acre fr~ the three buildinq perRdtted use. This proj6ct h~~ the approval and t"econnendation of your sta.f. The pl&nnin'J corrmission has reccmmended granting the developer the spprial use p~rmit. At the public hearing held on this matter on Jul, 30. 1990, there was neighborhood opposition to tne proj~ct based on their percepti~n that this project would cause traffic problems in the neighborhood. In attempting to addres9 those concerns. both the city and the developer requested t~at representativ~s of HN DOT ~ present at the hearinq. KN OOT.s re~r~Aentatives reviewed the traffic situation and stated that the project as designed would b~ a~proved by them. '!'bey a1 '3'" 3tated that the tv'J exits on Rice Street and Minnesota street were the best d~si9n configuration for the ;Jroiect to e1i~inatp. traffic 1>roblems. 'l'h.e city's IIJnQi.neer stated that both Minnesota Street and Rice Street have the design capacity to handle the minimal percentage increase in traffic that will be creat~d by this project. No onf!' from the neighborhood has present.ed any d~finitive evidence except their opinion that the project will ha~~ a ne9aliv~ impa~t on neiqhboz:hocd traffic.
