Commissioner Questions of Staff Member Stellmach asked staff to explain traffic mitigation and whether this project would incorporate improvements to bicycle and pedestrian access in this area. Mr. Paschke advised that as part of staff's review of the site, they would look to connect pedestrians from County Road B-2 for better access to the Rosedale Center site and surrounding area as applicable and as easily for them as possible with the fewest traffic conflicts. As far as broader traffic issues on County Road B-2, Mr. Paschke advised that staff would address existing concerns and issues, and suggest potential ways to remedy them as part of this proposal. At the request of Member Murphy, Mr. Paschke advised that the parking ramp was proposed at one level by modifying of the elevation, estimating it to be 12' to 15' off the ground, and connecting J. C. Penney's and the new additional. With Member Murphy noting the maximum height allowed at 65 in RB zoning districts, Mr. Paschke stated that he anticipated the ramp to be much lower than that maximum allowable. With the addition of more impervious surface with this addition and site changes, Chair Boguszewski asked staff to review their Condition "B" in more detail and additional stormwater management for the broader area. Mr. Paschke advised that as part of the redevelopment project, the applicant would be required to meet existing standards under current requirements of City Code and the area watershed district versus pre-existing or previous standards. Regarding the broader area component, Mr. Paschke noted that this area was already problematic and the City would ask the applicant, JLL, to work with the City and watershed district to create additional capacity within their stormwater pond to hold more water back and avoid any downstream issues, and as a cost-share opportunity as part of the improvements. Public Works Director/City Engineer Mark Culver agreed with Mr. Paschke's assessment, noting that any improvements or disturbed areas, such as this proposed project, required the applicant and City of Roseville to work with the watershed district for mitigation efforts. As Mr. Paschke noted, Mr. Culver noted that this was a problem area as far as capacity of pipes north of the Rosedale Center, and while making no guarantees of what may occur, City staff was looking forward to the opportunity to partner with JLL and the watershed district to expand required stormwater management and mitigation to benefit the area north or upstream of the Rosedale Center. At the request of Member Murphy, Mr. Culver advised that there would be no long-term stormwater flowing south along Fairview as a result of this improvement. Member Murphy noted that currently a lake typically formed in that area during larger rainfall events. Mr. Culver noted that with more capacity as anticipated, the City could relieve flow at one point that would facilitate drainage from other points going north as well. Applicant Representatives Bill Mosten Senior P of Retail with JLL Mr. Mosten noted there were other representatives of the Rosedale Center's management team in the audience, as well as representatives from Dorsey/Whitney, and Kimley Horn. Mr. Mosten advised that they were in agreement with staff's presentation, and expressed their appreciation of staff's support and the applicant's excitement going forward. At the request of Member Murphy, Mr. Mosten estimated the process, while the schedule was still evolving, should be completed in approximately two years, either late in 2017 or early in 2018.
