P ROPOSAL 6 United Properties proposes to subdivide the property into two lots. It plans to develop Lot 1, 7 Block 1, Applewood Pointe of Roseville at Central Park as a 105-unit senior cooperative and to 8 sell Lot 2 of the same to the City to preserve the Owasso Ballfields. The proposed preliminary 9 plat documentation is included with this report as Attachment C. 10 When exercising the so-- on a plat request, the role of the City is 11 to determine the facts associated with a particular request and apply those facts to the legal 12 standards contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the 13 application meets the relevant legal standards and will not compromise the public health, safety, 14 and general welfare, then the applicant is likely entitled to the approval. The City is, however, 15 able to add conditions to a plat approval to ensure that the likely impacts to parks, schools, roads, 16 storm sewers, and other public infrastructure on and around the subject property are adequately 17 addressed. Proposals may also be modified to promote the public health, safety, and general 18 welfare, and to provide for the orderly, economic, and safe development of land, and to promote 19 housing affordability for all levels. 20 PPA RELIMINARY LAT NALYSIS 21 As a preliminary plat of multi-family-zoned property, neither the zoning nor subdivision codes 22 establish minimum requirements for area or width of lots, but the proposal is subject to the 23 easement standards of the subdivision code, established in Chapter 1103 (Design Standards) of 24 the City Code. 25 City Code §1103.04 (Easements): Drainage and utility easements 12 feet in width, centered on 26 side and rear property lines, are required where necessary. The proposed plat meets this 27 requirement. 28 staff has completed a traffic study that considered the impact of both 29 the Applewood Pointe project and the Cherrywood project at Lexington and Woodhill and did 30 not find anything irregular or of concern regarding the need for additional traffic improvements 31 for either project. 32 City staff has discussed a number of Code items regarding the Applewood project and will 33 continue to work with United Properties as it begins the formal process of site design. 34 Attachment D is the conceptual site plan, which indicates building placement, parking lots and 35 landscaping, including trees to be preserved. Although United Properties has not finalized a 36 development plan, their goal is to save as many of the perimeter trees as possible. Because all 37 development plans and necessary reviews would follow after final plat approval and the transfer 38 of the park property to the City, they do not impact the request before the Planning Commission. 39 Regarding park dedication, this project is not following the typical process for determining park 40 dedication, rather 41 paying the full park dedication fee, however, it will be done as a credit against the purchase price 42 since the City is buying park land. 43 PF15-025_RPCA_120215 Page 2 of 3
