SKETCH PLAN NARRATIVE DEVELOPED FOR ABRA ATUO BODY FACILITY ROSEV1LLE MINNESOTA November, 2002 ABRA Auto Body and Glass is presenting this request for a change of zoning from I 1 to Planned Unit Development (PUD) for property located at 1910 County Road C W. The intent of this change is the creation of a more flexible approach to land use with a compatible mix of uses. The area in which this propeliy is currently zoned 1. The site is designated as B - Business in the Comprehensive Plan - Future Land Use Map, adopted January 2002. The new uses will be auto body repair and office warehouse space. Office warehouse is allowed in II but both uses are permitted uses in 12. Auto repair requires a conditional use permit in B-3. This property is south of the area known as the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area. Much like the Roseville Business Park, described in the Twin Lakes Master Plan Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, June 2002, this parcel seeks to be compatible with the surrounding areas to the north as well as the neighboring companies. The site design and the buildings will establish the feel of a business area rather than an industrial area. Augies Catering and Renewal by Anderson are adjacent businesses. The site will have a well planned access road as part of the new master redevelopment plans. Emphasis is being placed on creating an attractive and safe environment for customers and employees alike. Architecturally distinct buildings and environmentally sensitive landscaping and lighting will enhance the project. The goals of the PUD include the following: 1. Create a buffer between County C and the property with green space. 2. Create a suitable environment within the site 3. Create compatible use and building designs 4. Clean up and create a more attractive site on County C 5. Provide quality jobs for Roseville residents 6.
