Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 9, 2018 Page 18 from a water management perspective. So, something will have to be built to handle stormwater management. The challenge is the uses of this area and trying to manage what is a very small site of 1.4 acres. The site cannot be developed with traditional stormwater retention and engineering built in. Councilmember McGehee asked about underground parking. Mr. Noble responded that underground parking would not make financial sense. Regarding jobs, this will be an 86-unit hotel. The creation of 12 full-time jobs is anticipated. He noted that the jobs will be housekeeping, engineering, desk ser- vice jobs, and management. Additionally, there will be approximately 12-14 part- time jobs to backfill peak times. The front desk worker is about $14/hour plus benefits and 401(K). Housekeeping is $13/hour before benefits. Twenty hours a week is industry standard to cut off benefits to the part-time staff, though the goal is not to try to deny benefits based on hours. He has been in this business a long time; it does not help the service side or quality assurance side to create a cost- effective employee over a quality employee. Councilmember Willmus asked about the room rental rate. Mr. Noble responded he is waiting for the Rev-PAR study. The goal is to have a Rev-PAR in the upper$80 range. The goal is to open in April 2020. Councilmember Laliberte asked whether there is more capacity for more rooms in Roseville. Mr. Noble responded the room supply number in Roseville is approximately 1375. There is a 75% occupancy average. He noted this is a cyclical industry. On average, there is a 3.3% Rev-PAR growth. Based upon that growth, the City can support 35 new rooms a year. By the time it opens, the hotel will have con- sumed in demand the number of new rooms. There will not be negative impact on existing hotel supply. The existing supply is older, and there is an opportunity to refresh the inventory. Mr. Kuela introduced himself as the property owner. He has owned the land since 2000. He has considered various projects over the years and believes this is the best use for this land. He believes in the project so strongly that he has invested in the property and is a 10% owner. Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, with no one coming for- ward. Etten moved, Willmus seconded, approval of the Concept PUD, an amendment to the Centre Pointe PUD (Attachment D) allowing a fourth hotel on property ad- dressed at 3015 Centre Pointe Drive.
