1 0±®¯®² « 3´¬¬ ±¸ 2 The applicant proposes to subdivide three undeveloped residential parcels generally located along 3 Victoria Street near Orchard Lane resulting in the nine-lot Victoria Shores plat for development of 4 single-family, detached homes with four lake-accesses shared by all nine homes. The proposed lots are 5 designed to conform to the requirements of the LDR zoning district, which regulates the property. The 6 applicant also seeks approval of the shared lake accesses among the future homeowners’ association 7 members as a conditional use. Illustrations and other information about the proposed development are 8 included with this RCA in Attachment C. 9 When exercising the “quasi-judicial” authority on subdivision and conditional use requests the role of 10 the City is to determine the facts associated with a particular proposal and apply those facts to the legal 11 standards contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the 12 application meets the relevant legal standards and will not compromise the public health, safety,and 13 general welfare, then the applicant is likely entitled to the approval. The City is, however, able to add 14 conditions to a subdivision and conditional use approval to ensure that potential impacts to parks, 15 schools, roads, storm sewers, and other public infrastructure on and around the subject property are 16 adequately addressed. Subdivisions may also be modified to promote the public health, safety, and 17 general welfare, and to provide for the orderly, economic, and safe development of land, and to promote 18 housing affordability for all levels. 19 0±¤«¨¬¨ ±¸ 0« ³ 20 Roseville’s Development Review Committee (DRC) met on several occasions in early 2021 to review 21 the proposed subdivision plans. Some of the comments and feedback based on the DRC’s review of the 22 application are included in the analysis below, and the full comments offered in memos prepared by 23 DRC members are included with this RCA in Attachment E. 24 Proposed Lots 25 Lots zoned LDR in the Shoreland Management District have two different size requirements, depending 26 on whether they are riparian (i.e., directly adjacent to the lake) or non-riparian. The table below shows 27 how the proposed lots compare to the relevant requirements in City Code §1017.14.B.1 as they apply to 28 lots within 300 feet of Lake Owasso.

The proposed plat differs in two ways from 35 the initial proposal as reviewed by the Planning Commission in April 2021. One such difference is that 36 the lots in Block 1 are no longer riparian lots. As a response to the concerns raised during the April 7 37 public hearing and the recommendation of the MnDNR during the subsequent Environmental 38 Assessment Worksheet (EAW) review, the developer has changed the proposal so these lots will not 39 reach the lakeshore as riparian lots.
