31 Since the preliminary plat approval of September 28, 2015, the applicant has been working with the 32 Public Works/Engineering Department on �nalizing transportation improvements required for the 33 plat and Planned Unit Development Amendment approval, as well as other necessary changes that 34 needed to be incorporated into the Final Plat. One item that has been determined by the Public 35 Works Director is the dedication of road right-of-way necessary (east and west sides of access) for 36 the installation of a dedicated right turn into the County Road B2 and Snelling Avenue exit access. 37 This dedication was not a requirement of the preliminary plat, but was negotiated during the PUD 38 amendment process. 39 Similarly, Roseville's Public Works Department staff has been working with the applicant to address 40 the typical public needs related to overall site grading and attending to storm water management 41 requirements. Regarding easements, no additional utility and drainage easements will be necessary 42 on Lot 1 and 3, and the Public Works staff will not be requiring easements on the new Lot 2, given 43 the uniqueness of the development. 44 The preliminary plat approval included the condition below which, after negotiations with JLL, has 45 been replaced with the requirement in the planned unit development agreement of a Public 46 Improvement Contract (PIC) to add a second westbound left turn lane to the entrance of Rosedale 47 Mall at the intersection of County Road B2 and Snelling (both the north and south bound ramps). 48 All costs related to the required improvements shall be paid by the developer. The PIC shall include 49 language that requires the design of the required improvements be approved by the City Engineer, 50 Ramsey County, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation. 51 d. The City Engineer, Ramsey County, and MnDOT sball all approve the traffic management plan 52 and improvements prior to the recording of the final plat. There may be some required traffic 53 mitigation costs, which are associated with these improvements, to be paid by the developer; 54 City Code specifies that an approved tree preservation plan is a necessary prerequisite for approval 55 of a preliminary plat and final plat, however, the proposed new lot area of Rosedale Mall does not 56 include any trees, therefore, the Planning Division is waiving this requirement for the platting 57 process. A tree preservation plan will be required as a component of the parking deck permit and 58 out parcel applications that will be submitted in the future for staff review and approval. S9 RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION 60 Adopt a resolution approving the FINAL PLAT of Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, Rosedale Fifth Addition 61 at 1700 County Road B2 and 1705 Highway 36, based on the comments and findings of this report, 62 and subject to the following conditions: 63 a. The DEVELOPER shall dedicate the right-of-way along County Road B2 (east and west sides of 64 the access) for the purpose of reconstructing the dedicated right turn into Rosedale from County 65 Road B2 at the exit ramp from Snelling Avenue, which may be necessary for the construction of 66 the required westbound second left turn lane. Said right-of-way must be included on the Final 67 Plat submitted to the City for signatures and for review and approval by the Public Works 68 Director. 69 b. The Public Works Department shall approve easements, grading and drainage, storm water 70 management, and utility requirements as necessary to meet the applicable standards prior to the 71 issuance of any building permits related to the proposed expansion of Rosedale Mall; 72 c.
