allows for parking on one side, if driveways do not interfere. Staff is investigating the possibility of shared driveways and a planting and snow storage island within the cul-de- sac. 3.4 The proposed grading and drainage plan must be reviewed and approved by the Roseville Engineering Department to ensure consistency with the Grass Lake and Roseville storm water management plans prior to final Council approval. A utility and drainage easement is required around the periphery of the parcel and must be ten-feet in width (where no matching easement is available). The developer must also work with the Public Works Department to determine the final use for the existing utility stubs that lie along the west side of the parcel. Public Works will also check for outstanding assessments and how they will be split among the proposed eight lots. 3.5 Prior to final Council approval of a PUD, a tree preservation plan must be developed with the assistance of the City forester to preserve those trees deemed appropriate adjacent to the existing and the proposed street right-of-way and adjacent to the periphery (north, east and west) of the parcel. 3.6 The proposed PUD must include a landscape plan that includes street trees, and other landscaping that augments existing vegetation on the parcel. The plan must be reviewed and approved by the City's landscape architect. 3.7 Park dedication for the eight-lot development is required and must be in the form of a cash payment in lieu of land dedication amounting to $500 per lot or $4,000. According to the City Park System Plan no further land is required in this area. The contribution will be added to the park redevelopment fund for the benefit of all city users. 4.0 POLICY IMPLICATIONS: 4.1 The Roseville Comprehensive Plan designates the subject parcel and surrounding neighborhood as Low Density Residential. Low Density Residential allows a density of four units per acre for which the proposed development of eight single-family lots/units would be developed on 2 acres thus meeting the four units per acre requirement. 4.2 Section 3 of the Comprehensive Plan describes general land use and housing goals. The project is consistent with these goals. Section 6 (Housing) encourages diversity in housing, housing stock, and also recommends meeting life cycle housing needs of the community. (In this case, it is smaller market rate homes, primarily targeted to empty nesters or seniors who wish to reduce their exterior maintenance and lawn care.) 5.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 5.1 The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in terms of density, size, diversity of housing stock and attempting to meet life cycle housing needs of residents. Staff therefore recommends approval of the proposal by Stoney River Development for a preliminary plat, first reading of a rezoning, and General Concept Plan approval of a planned unit development for the proposed development of eight single family PF3357 - RCA PUD Concept 012802 Page 4
