Attachment A 1 Extract of the September 28, 2015 Roseville City Council Meeting Minutes 2 Consider Approval of a Preliminary Plat at Rosedale Center 3 Prior to staff s presentation, Mayor Roe clarified that the action sought of the City Council 4 tonight was only for PRELIMINARY PLAT approval, with the PUD amendment that had been 5 included in the Planning Commission's review, public hearing and their recommendation for 6 approval would come before the City Council at a future date and not part of tonight's requested 7 action. 8 City Planner Paschke confirmed this approval process, anticipating the PUD Agreement 9 amendment will come before the City Council sometime in October. 10 Mr. Paschke briefly reviewed this request as detailed in the RCA dated September 28, 2015, and 11 outlined on the displayed map (Attachment C). Mr. Paschke advised that the Planning 12 Commission unanimously recommended approval as conditioned, concurring with staff s 13 recommendation for approval. 14 As he had discussed with Acting City Manager Bilotta earlier today, Councilmember Willmus 15 asked if the applicable property owners were co-applicants of this Preliminary Plat, seeking 16 clarification of the wording in the RCA. 17 Mr. Paschke confirmed that co-applicant status, advising that J. C. Penney had provided staff 18 with a letter of support, the former Compass Realty entity no longer in existence, with other sub- 19 entities signing off and becoming part of the permanent record as recorded with Ramsey County. 20 If the City Council approves this preliminary plat, City Attorney Gaughan suggested adding a 21 condition that its approval be contingent upon approval of approved amendment to PUD 22 Agreement # 3608. 23 Applicant Representative Bill Mosten, Senior VP of Retail with Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) 24 Mr. Mosten concurred with the summarization by City Planner Paschke, stating their 25 development team's availability in the audience for questions if needed. Mr. Mosten expressed 26 their firm's appreciation for the City's support of Rosedale Center over the years and expressed 27 their excitement in moving forward into the future with this project. 28 Mayor Roe noted the significantly reduced square footage available to the fourth anchor tenant 29 with this proposal (Attachment C); further noting that it created some interesting lot lines on the 30 site. 31 Mr. Mosten responded affirmatively, noting that it made for the cleanest way to replat the site 32 without causing further complications with the parlcing structure and other amenities of the site. 33 In general, Councilmember McGehee expressed her interest in seeing all the parking lots on the 34 Rosedale Center site more amenable to pedestrian movement from one portion of the site to 35 another; asking the applicant to take that into consideration in their planning. Councilmember 36 McGehee referenced recent improvements by the City with trails and pathways within the City 37 and improvements to pedestrian access from neighborhoods surrounding Rosedale Center, but 38 her concern in pedestrians then having to dodge traffic once on the site. Councilmember 39 McGehee asked the applicant to work with staff on that concern as part of their PUD agreement 40 negotiations.
