PO_�NTE I}EVELOPMENT CORPORATIaN, 1618-85 Page 2 propose to manage the project, and a letter from the research firm of Maxfield, I'alm, Cevette and Company. Also attached is a"booklet" incorporating eigh't reduced drawings of the site plan, floor plans, exterior elevations, a grading and utilities plan, and a landseape plans �I. The development, as currently proposed, is i:. conformance with all yard requirements, density requirements, and floor area ratio requirements. This is somewhat unusual in the sense that the i'our othe� senior citizens pro�ects in Roseville were all built at densities exceeda.ng the normal. requi�ements for a,partment development. The City of Rose�ville has not established specific density requirements � for seraior ciLizens t�iousing projects in as mueh as each project varies de,pendir�g up�� its design and approaeh to the � market. It is recognized, however, that the aanount of land normally required for apartment gamily living is l�ss in the ease of senior citizens housinga Thus, it; is common for such housing proj�ets to be constructed at densities exceeding norma � apartment requiremen�s around tihe metropolitan area. 5. Two variances are requestedo One is for parking, wherefn the parking proposed is at a ratio of 1:1-�-a total of 213 parking spaces are proposed with 160 in the basement level under tlhe proposeci new structures. The narmal requirem�ent �or parkinl� in the R-3 Distriet i.s 1�1/2 spaces per unit. The R-3A District, which was evolved in the late 196os, ir�creased the parkfng requirement to two parking spaces per uriit. We sugg�;st that the ratio proposed of one spac�e per una.t is mt�re than adequaue and exceeds typical standards for �enior eitizens housing o� the type prapased. The seco�d varianee is for the height of the structure. The code notes that buiZdings can be three stories or 30 feet in hPight, whiehever is �ess. The buildings are three stories, with two �tory uni.ts on the ends, as noted on the site plans. Tl�e buildings could be constructed within the height limitation� if a flat roof were used. However, the develapers �ropose to construct, over a time period, a far m�re d�sirable raof line Gtilizing intermittent gables. The h�eight of a building is measured �o the mean distance of the gable. This acc�unts for the additional seven feet of height requested over the 30 foot limitation over the a�rdinance. 6. The applicants have held � meeting with the neigi�bors so that they may be well�informed about the p^oposal. Initial�y, the applicants propuse to construct 242 �.��,,s on the site with som�e of the strt�ctl,�res bei.ng five and six stories high. �`�llowing tr.ie first meeting with the neighbors, the devel.opers acc�ding to their concerns, reduce�d trie height of the struc�ture and the number of units f'rom 242 to 212.
