City Code §1103.04 (Easements): Drainage and utility easements 12 feet in width, centered on 54 side and rear property lines,are requiredwhere necessary. The proposed plat meets and exceeds 55 this requirement. 56 City Code §1103.06 (Lot Standards): All lotsfor single-family detached dwellingsmust be at 57 least 85 feet wide, 110 feet deep,and comprise at least 11,000 square feet in area, except that 58 corner lots must be a minimum of 100 feet in width and depth and have at least 12,500 square 59 feet in area.All of the proposed lots exceed these requirements even if the easement surrounding 60 the proposed street is excluded from the parcels as though the easement area was equivalent to 61 dedicating right-of-way. 62 Roseville’s Public Works Department staff have been working with the applicant to address the 63 requirementsrelated to grading and drainage, street design, and the private utilities that will be 64 necessary to serve the new lots.Even if these plans are not discussed in detail at the public 65 hearing, actions by the Planning Commission and the City Council typically include conditions 66 that such plans must ultimately meet the approval of Public Works staff. 67 City Code specifies that anapproved tree preservation plan is a necessary prerequisite for 68 approval of a preliminary plat.The plan indicates the expected removal of 44 of 91 deciduous 69 trees and removal of 7 of 34 conifers; theplanhas been provided to S&S Tree Service, which is 70 under contract with Roseville to review tree preservation plans and monitor the implementation 71 of those plans in the field during construction.This contracted arrangementwith S&S Tree 72 Servicehas only recently been formalized so, while the review of the tree preservation plan has 73 not yet been completedin advance of the preparation of this RPCA, Planning Division staff 74 anticipates being able to report on the review during the public hearing. 75 At its meeting of June 4, 2013 Roseville’s Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the 76 proposed preliminary platagainst the park dedication requirements of §1103.07 of the City Code 77 and recommended a dedication ofcash in lieu of land. Since the existing, undeveloped parcel 78 comprises one residential unit, the proposed four-lot plat would create three new building sites. 79 The 2015Fee Schedule establishes a park dedication amount of $3,500 per residential unit; for 80 the three, newly-created residential lots the total park dedication would be $10,500, to be 81 collected prior to recording an approved plat at Ramsey County. 82 Roseville’s Development Review Committee (DRC) met on June 11 and 18, 2015to discuss this 83 application.Beyond the above comments pertaining to the zoningand subdivisioncodes 84 representatives of the Public Works Department had the following comments. 85 a.There are several small basins shown to address the required storm water treatment and 86 retention requirements. The overflow of these devices for the most part appears to flow to the 87 rear of the development and ultimately drain to the existing catch basin located between this 88 parcel and Marion Street to the west. While overland flow is an acceptable method of 89 conveyance for storm water, the existing undulating ground in this area currently slows water 90 conveyance and causes some pooling of water during heavy events. This will continue to be 91 the case after development, although the proposed basins should provide some rate control 92 for most rain events. 93 b.The proposed basins and private road will require a Homeowners Association to be 94 established for the purposes of funding the maintenance of these assets. It should be noted 95 that while the proposed basins and site grading meet the requirements of the City and should 96 meet the requirements of the watershed (watershed review and approval are pending), this is 97 PF15-010_RPCA_070115 Page 3of 5
