Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, August 3, 2016 Page 6 Member Murphy asked Mr. Dorff to summarize his view of the property over the 253 next 3 years to put those plans in context, as he had shared at the open house. 254 Chair Boguszewski clarified that there were no predictions on development or 255 redevelopment of the site, depending on the economy and market. 256 Mr. Dorff advised that Meritex owns the entire parcel, involving many acres, and 257 as the existing buildings became obsolete, some were sold to an investment 258 group in 2003, including this building that previously held the exact same type of 259 storage trailers. Mr. Dorff clarified that his firm had sold those parcels adjacent to 260 the Golf Course west of the parking lot; and noted those developers had been 261 successful after the economy improved, and built a building, with one tenant being 262 Fantasy Flight and Café Express. Mr. Dorff advised that the building known as #3 263 was leased to Unisys, but they were soon downsizing. Since this building is of 264 older construction and now obsolete, making it unsuitable for office use as it had 265 no windows, Mr. Dorff stated the intent was to raze the building after it was 266 completely vacated and redevelop the site. However, Mr. Dorff noted this may 267 take time, depending on the economy and state of building leases and intent, but 268 stated their firm was open to ideas, clarifying that the Master Plan indicated 269 industrial use, with some warehouse uses already there in line with that. Mr. Dorff 270 noted it could be as early as 2017, but could be as far as 2019; and anticipated an 271 industrial building, depending on the market. Mr. Dorff noted the rationale in 272 seeking this IU for semi storage, it served to help pay taxes on the property until 273 that redevelopment is possible. 274 Ayes: 7 275 Nays: 0 276 Motion carried 277 PROJECT FILE 0017, Amendment 13 b. 278 Request by the City of Roseville to amend City Code Chapter 1004 279 (Residential Districts) to revise regulations pertaining to building footprints 280 and paved surfaces on parcels in low-density residential (LDR) zoning 281 districts. 282 Chair Boguszewski opened the public hearing for Project File 0017 at 7:19 p.m. 283 Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd provided an update on the process to revise 284 regulations as detailed in the staff report for LDR-1 and LDR-2 zoning districts as 285 they related to building footprints, parcel square footage and allowable impervious 286 coverage. Mr. Lloyd reviewed City Council deliberation to-date and analysis by 287 engineering and planning staff in their review of a more comprehensive 288 amendment to address these inconsistencies found in zoning code revisions 289 adopted in 2010. Further, Mr. Lloyd noted technological advances in materials 290 making formerly impervious surfaces now more permeable and impacting water 291 runoff. 292 As a result, Mr. Lloyd referenced Attachment A and proposed ordinance text 293 revisions to address calculations for these regulations, seeking Commission 294 feedback. Mr. Lloyd noted that the Public Works/Engineering Department is also 295 working on a stormwater permit process as a tool to manage stormwater runoff 296 from properties over 20 years old if reaching their coverage limits to address 297 those calculations on-site or through a broader area project to mitigate that higher 298 volume of storm water. Mr. Lloyd reviewed some of the on-site options as well as 299 those larger possibilities. 300 At the request of Chair Boguszewski, Mr. Lloyd confirmed that as of today, the 301 entire improvement area in LDR-1 takes into consideration impervious surfaces 302 inclusive of decks, primary structure and accessory structures on a parcel. Mr. 303 Lloyd further confirmed that today’s ordinance language related to wetland 304 management for shoreline districts further reduced, and specific limits for LDR-2 305
