RCA Exhibit A 49 Roseville's Public Works Department staff have been working with the applicant to address the 5o requirements related to grading, drainage, easements, and dedication of additiona] right-of-way 5 � along both County Road B and Farrington Street. While these details are essential parts of a 52 preliminary plat application, the Planning Commission is not asked to review and digest such 53 engineering-related plans; instead, actions by the Planning Commission and the City Council 5� typically include conditions that such plans must ultimately meet the approval of Public Works 5� staff. 5� City Code § 1011.04 (Tree Preservation) specifies that an approved tree preservation plan is a 5% necessary prerequisite for approval of a preliminary plat. A tree survey has been provided which �� identifies the trees on the property as well as the trees which are likely to be removed as a result 5�� of the current grading and utility plans and anticipated locations of houses and driveways. The 6o site contains 347 trees with trunks at least 6 inches in diameter; based on the present proposal, 6�i 160 trees would be removed and a total of 39 replacement trees would be required. The 6�: replacement trees may be any combination of coniferous trees that are at least 6 feet tall and 63 deciduous trees with trunks at least 3 inches in diameter. While the replacement formula can be 6<;� calculated even at this time, the final tree preservation plan depends upon the final grading plan, 6� which may not be finalized until after the preliminary plat is approved; for this reason, it is 6� prudent to proceed with review and possible approval of the preliminary plat with the condition 67 that site grading and building permits should not be issued without an approval of the final tree 6� preservation plan. 69 At its meeting of February 6, 2014, Roseville's Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the �� then-proposed preliminary plat against the park dedication requirements of § 1103.07 of the City 7�� Code and recommended a dedication of cash in lieu of land; the Parks and Recreation Director �r has confirmed that this recommendation still stands. The eXisting land area is composed of one �3 buildable parcel subdivided from Lot 7 of the 1881 Michel's Rearrangement of Lots 9 to 16 7� Inclusive of Mackubin and Iglehart's Addition of Out Lots plat. Since the eXisting land comprises �� one residential unit, the proposed six-unit plat would create five new building sites. The 2015 �� Fee Schedule establishes a park dedication amount of $3,500 per residential unit; for the five, �7 newly-created residential lots the total park dedication would be $17,500, to be collected prior to 7� recording an approved plat at Ramsey County. 7;� The Public Works Department staff has reviewed the proposed preliminary plat and development so plans as illustrated in Attachment C and has the following comments. 8� • The existing 20 foot wide storm water utility easement will need to be vacated prior to the 82 filing of the final plat. Close coordination with the applicant on timing for the easement 83 vacation is requested. ��'� • Staff has farwarded the applicant detailed comments related to the proposed storm water 85 management for this development. Staff will continue to work with the developer on a 8� design that can be approved by the City and the Capital Region Watershed District. The 8� final design of said stormwater management system may require alterations to the szs proposed drainage and utility easement as currently shown on the plat. ��a Roseville's Development Review Committee (DRC) met on April 16 and 23, 2015 to discuss 90 this application. Beyond the above comments pertaining to the zoning code and storm water, the 9� DRC only raised the issue of the large drainage and utility easement in the rear of proposed Lot g2 6. The concern is that the owner of the lot could be overly burdened with the maintenance of the 93 storm water facilities, or that the facilities could be neglected and become a site of dumping, and PF 15-004 RPCA 050615 Page 3 of 22 Page 3 of 5
