City of Roseville Planning District 4 Evaluation Summary Of Issues -1994: Planning District 4 begins at Lexington A venue on the west, and ends at the shoreline of Lake Owasso on the east. There are numerous infill sites within Planning District 4, most of which will make handsome single family residential lots. Site 4-1 is the single family home area east of Victoria, just north of "C" for which the Planning Commission proposed a long term use Medium Density Residential (townhomes or apartments). The adjacent area is an environmentally fragile area and may be best used for ponding and open space. In 1994, the Commission evaluated the impact of townhomes or single family uses sandwiched between a busy road (Victoria) and a wetland, but did not recommend a change at that time. Over the years, it may be best to buy and move the homes from this site as they become available. The City Council agreed that the best use for this site may be park anq open space; however, this site possibly could be dealt with as an entire project area in which a townhouse project would replace all single family homes at one time. Since the homes are generally in good to excellent repair, the Council decided it was better to wait for a project proposal to officially redesignate this site from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The area designated for high density residential (in 1979 plan) directly east of the City Civic Center site on the east side of Lexington A venue and south of W oodhill could be used for affordable senior housing or for a market rate owner occupied condominium. No change was recommended in 1994. In 1994, there were several Comprehensive Plan and Zoning inconsistencies in this Planning District. The parcels located along the east side of Lexington Avenue and north of W oodhill designated on the Comprehensive Plan for medium density residential are designated on the zoning map for single family residential. This appears to be an area which could act as a single family buffer and provide for a double loaded private street with townhouses along each side of the private road. The higher density residential development, designated on the Comprehensive Plan on the east side of Lexington, across from the City Hall complex, is designated as single family on the zoning maps. While a portion of this site is low (North Bennett Lake) and will not be developable, there are portions of the site on which a major higher density residential development could be developed, especially including senior citizens or an expensive condominium using the lake, wetlands, and Central Park as an amenity.
