Mark Doneux CR WD Coordinator 1295 Bandana Blvd. Suite 108 St. Paul, MN 55108 RE: Guptil Site, 185 McCarrons Blvd, Roseville, MN CRWD Development Review #04-RS-00l Dear Mark: Per your request, our office has reassessed the feasibility of developing the above referenced property, in Roseville, MN. OVERVIEW The primary parcel to be redeveloped is a 2.65-acre parcel located at 185 McCarrons Blvd and owned by Mr. Dennis Guptil. Currently, an unoccupied house and a garage exist on the south portion of Mr. Guptil's property. A wetland occupying approximately 35% ofthe property is located near the middle of the parcel. The elevated house creates a drainage divide between runoff flowing north into the wetland and southeast into McCarrons Blvd. Runoff from the north portion of the parcel flows south into the wetland. Other parcels considered for development included a vacant 0.56-acre parcel and a 0.51-acre vacated right-of-way north of Elmer S1. and across from Mr. Guptil's property. The north portion of these parcels is occupied by a waterbody that mayor may not be a wetland. For the purposes of this assessment, we have assumed that it is not a wetland. In general, approximately half of the runoff from these parcels flows north into the waterbody, and half of the runoff is directed to the east. DEVELOPABLE AREA AND MAXIMUM UNIT CALCULATION According to the City of Roseville's Comprehensive Plan, the Guptil site has been designated for high-density housing. It was assumed that the Guptil parcel will be rezoned from R-l, Single Family Residence, to R-3A, Multi-Family Residence. Using this information and information from the City of RosevilIe's City Code, the possibilities for development of the site were evaluated. One of the limitations for the development is that a 50-foot setback must be maintained around a wetland. A wetland delineation has not been completed for the development. Therefore, assumptions for the wetland limits were made for both the Guptil parcel and the Elmer Street parcels. Assuming that a variance will be sought to decrease the wetland buffer setback, the area within a 25-foot radius ofthe 896-foot contour for the Guptil site wetland was designated as undevelopable. For the Elmer Street parcels, the area within a 1 a-foot radius around the 904- foot contour was marked as undevelopable.
