1 PROPOSAL 2 Real Estate Solutions, LLC proposes to demolish the existing home and replat the property into s six lots for development of one-family, detached homes. The proposed preliminary plat 4 information, the staff analysis presented in the Request for Planning Commission Action, other 5 supporting documentation, and meeting minutes is included with this report as RCA Exhibit A. 6 The preliminary plat meets or exceeds all applicable requirements, and the Planning � Commission's approval recommendation included five conditions as follow: �� a. The Public WoNks Department shall approve easements, rights-of-way, grading and drainage, 9 and public utility requirements as necessary to meet the applicable standa�ds prior to the � o approval of the final plat or issuance of permits for site improvements; �� b. The applicant shall create a homeowners' association or other suitable mechanism for �2 consideration at the time offinal plat approval to ensure the proper maintenance of the large � 3 d�ainage and utility area in the rear of Lot 6 as well as the storm water facilities therein. � 4� Alternatively, the applicant may work with Public Works staff to implement a regional storm � 5 wate� facility to be dedicated to the City in an outlot for public ownership and maintenance. � 6 c. Permits for site improvements shall not be issued without evidence of an approved permitfrom � � the Capital Region Watershed Dist�ict; � 8 d. Permits for site improvements shall not be issued without approval of a final t�ee � 9 preservation plan, accounting for any impacts not yet anticipated, by the Community 2o Development Department; and 2� e. The applicant shall satisfy the necessa�y conditions outlined in the May 6, 201 S MnDOT 22 letter to the City. 23 Since the Planning Commission met, the applicant has been working with Public Works staff on 24 the engineering-related plans, and the proposal has been revised such that a larger storm water 25 management system is being designed to accommodate storm water from the broader 26 neighborhood, and the proposed easement area in the rear of proposed Lot 6 will become an 27 outlot to be dedicated to Roseville along with the storm water facilities for public ownership and 2� maintenance. The revised preliminary plat drawing and engineering plans are included with this 29 RCA as Exhibit B. While final details must still be approved for issuance of permits for 3o construction to begin, significant progress is being made to satisfy condition "b" of the 3� recommended preliminary plat approval, and a revised condition is recommended in this RCA. 32 Expansion of the storm water facilities has also changed the location and quantity of existing 33 trees that would be removed as a consequence of the development and, likewise, the tree 34 preservation plan has been adjusted accordingly. The updated tree preservation plan is also 35 included in Exhibit B and will be reviewed by Mark Rehder, with S&S Tree Service, who is ss under contract with Roseville to review tree preservation plans, and inspect and manage tree 3� removal, protection and replanting at construction sites. 38 ROSEVILLE STRATEGIC GOALS ss Planning Division staff observes that the proposed plat would be developed with six homes that 4o are likely to contribute to meeting the City Council's strategic goal of facilitating development of 41 "move-up" housing units to provide more local options for people who are ready to move out of 42 starter homes, thus increasing the availability of more affordable homes for first-time buyers. No 4s such housing units have been developed since this goal was established in March 2015, but a PF15-004 RCA_060815-Prelim (2).doc Page 2 of 4
