3.4 The final tree preservation/landscape plan must be reviewed and approved by the City Forester and City Planner. Said plans must 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) ofthe parcel. Landscape must include street trees and other landscaping that augments existing vegetation on the parcel. 3.5 Park dedication for the seven-lot development is required and must be in the form of a cash payment in lieu ofland dedication amounting to $500 per lot or $3,500. 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 seven single-family lots/units would be developed on 2.25 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 final plat, final reading of a rezoning, Final Development Plan, and Planned Unit development Agreement approval of a planned unit development for the proposed development of seven single family residential lots on which seven single family detached owner occupied homes will be constructed with associated site improvements on property at 495 lona Lane. 6.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: 6.1 On January 2, 2001, the Roseville Planning Commission held the required public hearing regarding the Stoney River request. At the hearing two neighboring residents spoke in favor of the development, but asked if the number of lots could be reduced to seven. 6.2 The Commission asked the developer and City Planner questions regarding the development, specifically dealing with setbacks, lot coverage, and density. 6.3 The Planning Commission recommended approval (7-0) of the preliminary plat and General Concept Plan for the Planed Unit Development on 2.25 acres at 495 lona Lane.
