P ROPOSAL 5 Landmark of Roseville, LLC proposes to demolish the three existing homes and replat the 6 property into five lots for development of one-family, detached homes. The proposed 7 preliminary plat documentation is included with this report as Attachment C. 8 When exercising the so-called “quasi-judicial” authority on a plat request, the role of the City is 9 to determine the facts associated with a particular request and apply those facts to the legal 10 standards contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the 11 application meets the relevant legal standards and will not compromise the public health, safety 12 and general welfare, then the applicant is likely entitled to the approval. The City is, however, 13 able to add conditions to a plat approval to ensure that the likely impacts to roads, storm sewers, 14 and other public infrastructure on and around the subject property are adequately addressed. 15 An applicant seeking approval of a plat of this size is required to hold an open house meeting to 16 inform the surrounding property owners and other interested individuals of the proposal, to 17 answer questions, and to solicit feedback. The open house for this application was held on June 18 10, 2014; the brief summary of the open house meeting provided by the applicant is included 19 with this staff report as Attachment D. 20 PPA RELIMINARYLATNALYSIS 21 Plat proposals are reviewed primarily for the purpose of ensuring that all proposed lots meet the 22 minimum size requirements of the zoning and subdivision codes, that adequate streets and other 23 public infrastructure are in place or identified and constructed, and that storm water is addressed 24 to prevent problems either on nearby property or within the storm water system. 25 As a preliminary plat of a residential subdivision, the proposal is subject to the minimum lot 26 sizes and roadway design standards of the subdivision code, established in Chapter 1103 (Design 27 Standards). The applicable standards are reviewed below. 28 City Code §1103.04 (Easements): Drainage and utility easements 12 feet in width, centered on 29 side and rear property lines, are required; the easements shown on the preliminary plat drawing 30 meet these requirements. Additional easement area is shown coinciding with the proposed storm 31 water retention/infiltration and wetland areas. 32 City Code §1103.06 (Lot Standards): Corner lots must be at least 100 feet in width and depth 33 and comprise at least 12,500 square feet of area, and interior lots must be at least 85 feet wide, 34 110 feet deep and comprise at least 11,000 square feet in area. All proposed lots are well more 35 than 200 feet deep. The proposed corner parcel, Lot 5, is about 105 feet in width and comprises 36 more than 25,000 square feet, and Lots 1, 2, and 4 are all about 90 feet in width, the smallest of 37 which is also more than 25,000 square feet. All of the proposed lots exceed the applicable 38 minimum standards. 39 City Code §1017.14 (Wetland Lot Standards): For the purpose of meeting the minimum lot 40 area standard, not more than 25% of a lot may be in a wetland. Approximately 40% (about 41 11,000 square feet) of the proposed Lot 3, the only lot affected by this requirement, is within the 42 wetland and about 17,250 square feet of the proposed lot is outside of the wetland. Calculating 43 the area of Lot 3 according to the process implied by this section of the code (i.e., 17,250 ÷ 0.75) 44 yields a regulatory lot area of about 23,000 square feet, not more than 25% of which is in the 45 wetland. Lot 3, like the others, exceeds the minimum area requirement. 46 Roseville’s Public Works Department staff have been working with the applicant to address the 47 requirements related to grading, drainage, easements, and dedication of additional right-of-way 48 PF14-016_RPCA_070914 Page 2 of 4
