An unusual hardship on the land exists. The dramatic drop in elevation across the site from the 39 southern portion of the subject property toward the north renders the prospect of a street connection 40 to Marion Street cul-de-sac or to S McCarrons Boulevard (or both) infeasible. This obstacle to 41 designing a street to intersect with the surrounding network (and thereby obviating the limit on cul-42 de-sac street length) constitutes an unusual hardship, which the subdivision variance process is 43 intended to relieve. 44 4. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. If the requested 45 subdivision variance is approved, the approval will not alter the essential character of the locality 46 because all of the five nearest cul-de-sac streets (i.e., Marion Street, Woodbridge Court, Western 47 Avenue, the eastward segment of Wagner Street, and the westward segment of Wagner Street) 48 exceed 500 feet with respective lengths of 850 feet, 550 feet, 675 feet, 660 feet, and 1,150 feet. 49 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Roseville City Council, to approve the 50 requested subdivision variance and the proposed ‘The Enclave at McCarrons Lake’ preliminary plat, 51 based on the public record and City Council deliberation, with the following conditions: 52 1. Pursuant to the comments from Roseville’s Fire Department Chief in Attachment D of the RCA 53 reviewed with this application, the applicant shall install a fire hydrant near the end of the proposed 54 cul-de-sac street, as shown on the proposed plans. 55 2. Pursuant to the memo from Public Works staff in Attachment D of the RCA reviewed with this 56 application, the applicant shall: 57 a. Dedicate the easments and additional public right-of-way as specified by the City Engineer. 58 b. Enter into a Public Improvement Contract regarding the construction of public infrastructure. 59 c. Establish a homeowner’s association for the maintenance of the private street, utilities, and storm 60 water management BMPs. 61 3. In accordance with the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission, the applicant shall 62 dedicate cash in lieu of park land in the amount of $72,250 prior to filing the plat at Ramsey County 63 with the caveat that the Marion Street Greenway trail connection also be included as part of the 64 Public Improvement Contract. 65 4. The developer shall increase the number of trees planted between Lot 1 and Galtier Street thereby 66 improving the screening in that location and partially recreating the current natural conditions in that 67 location. The number and location shall be maximized to the extent practical, while ensuring 68 survivability, based upon recommendations of the City’s consulting forester. 69 WHEREUPON said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. 70 RCA Attachment F Page 4 of 8
