Extract of the December 2, 2015, Roseville Planning Commission Meeting Minutes a.PLANNING FILE 15-025 Request by United Properties, Inc., in conjunction with Roseville Area School District No. 623 (property owners) for approval of a PRELIMINARY PLAT of 2659 Victoria Street Chair Boguszewski opened the public hearing for PLANNING FILE 15-025 at:24 p.m. With this proposed action at tonight’s Planning Commission, Chair Boguszewski asked staff to clarify whether ownership of this property had yet passed Independent School District 623 to United Properties. Chair Boguszewski also sought clarification from staff on the quorum needed for a vote on this request. City Planner Paschke advised that the Purchase Agreement remained pending on tonight’s preliminary plat approval, and was a multi-faceted project also involving city-owned property. Mr. Paschke noted that part of the conditions of the Purchase Agreement was having this preliminary plat in place in order to facilitate the sale of Lot 2, the park property to the city, which was the main purpose of tonight’s requested action. Mr. Paschke advised that a simple majority vote or 4 votes would be needed for this proposed action. Chair Boguszewski advised that as a member-elect to the I.S.D. 623 School Board, to avoid a potential conflict of interest, he would participate in discussion and continue to chair the meeting, but would abstain from voting on the request. Member Murphy also advised that, as a member of the Board of Directors for a Senior Cooperative property in Roseville with a continuing relationship with United Properties, he would recuse himself from participating in this requested action, also to avoid any potential conflict of interest. City Planner Thomas Paschke provided a brief history of this request as detailed in staff report, and based on staff’s analysis, reported that staff recommended approval of the request. Member Gitzen questioned if the City hadn’t at one point requested Lot 2 as an outlot. Member Gitzen asked if it was subsequently sold, was it a buildable lot. Mr. Paschke responded that actually the lot had originally been an outlot, but the City requested it be changed to a lot as there was no need for it to remain an outlot. Mr. Paschke advised that this lot was zoned and designated as park property; and if ever sold would need to be reguided and rezoned accordingly from Park/Open Space to accommodate any other type of development. At the request of Member Gitzen, Mr. Paschke clarified that Woodhill Drive was a city jurisdiction street and Victoria Street was under Ramsey County jurisdiction as a county road. Mr. Paschke advised that Ramsey County’s Transportation Department was currently reviewing the proposal, and their questions were working through their staff and city staff for the development itself, and were outside the purview of tonight’s requested action to approve the proposed lots on the preliminary plat.
