82 Ramsey County <br />83 The memo from the City Engineer indicates the following: <br />84 The proposed plans meet the County requirements. <br />85 The County recommends that no parking be posted on this stretch of Victoria Street. Because <br />86 Victoria Street is a County State Aid Highway, per State Aid requirements, to enact a no parking <br />87 zone the City Council would need to adopt a resolution formally establishing the parking <br />88 restriction. <br />89 Tree Preservation <br />90 The tree preservation and replacement requirements in §1011.04 of the City Code provide a way to <br />91 quantify the amount of tree material being removed for a given project and to calculate the resulting tree <br />92 replacement obligation. The calculation is included in Attachment C. At the time this RCA was <br />93 prepared, Roseville’s consulting forestercontinues toreview the tree preservation planand he has <br />94 recognized that many of the trees on the site are protected from removal by virtue of being within <br />95 existing wetland areas adjacent to the lake. The applicant’s preliminary calculation based on the <br />96 proposed development would not elicit the obligation to plant replacement trees, although Planning <br />97 Division staff and the consulting forester are continuing to validate the data. <br />98 Park Dedication <br />99 The memo from the Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation indicates the following: <br />100 This subdivision proposal elicits the park dedication requirement. Since the subject property includes <br />101 three existing residential parcels, City staff has determined that the proposed nine-lot plat represents a <br />102 net increase of six developable lots. As such, the City could accept a dedication of up to approximately <br />103 half an acre of park land (based on the requirement to dedicate up to 10% of the land of the 5.75-acre <br />104 development site) or a dedication of cash in lieu of land, or an equivalent combination of land and cash. <br />105 The Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) reviewed the proposal at its meeting of March 2, 2021, <br />106 and recommended a dedication of cash in lieu of land to satisfy the park dedication requirement; based <br />107 on the 2021 park dedication fee of $4,250 per net residential unit, the total dedication would equal <br />108 $25,500. <br />109 #®­£¨³¨®­ « 5²¤ !­ «¸²¨² <br />110 The use of the proposed Outlot A as shared lake accesses for the future homeowners is identified in City <br />111 Code §1017.15.B (Controlled Accesses) of the Shoreland regulations as being allowed only as a <br />112 conditional use. Section 1009.02.C of the City Code establishes a mandate that the City make five <br />113 specific findings pertaining a proposed conditional use. Planning Division staff has reviewed the <br />114 application and offers the following draft findings. <br />115 1. The proposed use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />116 does not speak directly to the proposed use or the subject property, but several shared accesses <br />117 already exist on Lake Owasso and Planning Division staff believes the use of residentially zoned <br />118 lakeshore land for residential lake access is not in conflict with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />119 2. The proposed use is not in conflict with any Regulating Maps or other adopted plans. The site is not <br />120 subject to any such regulating maps or other adopted plans. <br />121 3. The proposed use is not in conflict with any City Code requirements. No specific plans have yet been <br />122 presented, but any improvements tothe controlled access site will need to conform to all applicable <br />123 City Code requirements or receive variances to specific zoning provisions as may be necessary. <br />7e RCA.docx <br />Page 4 of 7 <br /> <br />
