1 0±®¯®² « 3´¬¬ ±¸ <br />rd <br />2 The applicant proposes to subdivide Outlot A of the recently approved Midland Legacy 3 Addition <br />3 (MLE3) plat, which more or less corresponds to 2224 Eustis Street, into three residential lots to be <br />th <br />4 known as Midland Legacy Estate 4 Addition. The proposed subdivision of this outlot was disclosed as <br />rd <br />5 a part of the 3 Addition plat review and approval process and the proposed plat is consistent with those <br />6 prior discussions. Illustrations and other information about the proposed platare included with this <br />7 RCA in Attachment C. <br />8 When exercising the “quasi-judicial” authority on subdivision requests, the role of the City is to <br />9 determine the facts associated with a particular proposal and apply those facts to the legal standards <br />10 contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the application meets <br />11 the relevant legal standards and will not harm the public health, safety, and general welfare, then the <br />12 applicant is likely entitled to the approval. The City is, however, able to add conditions to all such <br />13 approvals to ensure that potential impacts to parks, schools, roads, storm sewers, other public <br />14 infrastructure, and the surrounding community are adequately addressed. Subdivisions may also be <br />15 modified to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to provide for the orderly, <br />16 economic, and safe development of land, and to promote housing affordability for all levels. <br />17 Minor Plat <br />18 Roseville’s Development Review Committee (DRC) met on March 24 to review the proposal, which <br />19 conforms to the pertinent City Code provisions. Comments and feedback based on the DRC’s review of <br />20 the revised application are included in the analysis below, and the full comments offered in memos <br />21 prepared by DRC members are included with this RCA in Attachment D. <br />22 Proposed Lots <br />23 Lots LDR-zoned are required to be at least 85 feet wide and 9,350 square feet in area. All lots meet or <br />24 exceed the minimum dimensional standards; at 10,600 square feet Lot 1 has the least area and Lot 3 is <br />25 the narrowest at 85 feet wide. <br />26 Setbacks and Impervious Coverage <br />27 Although building setbacks are not specifically reviewed and approved as part of a plat application, the <br />28 generalized building location represented in the preliminary development plans appears to conform to <br />29 the minimum property line setbacks of the LDR district of the City Code. <br />30 Likewise, the impervious coverage limits established in the zoning code are not strictly regulated in the <br />31 plat review process, but the impervious surfaces representedin plat application materials are withinthe <br />32 30% limit on these parcels. <br />33 Storm Water Management <br />34 The grading and storm water management plan included with Attachment C is a required component of <br />35 a plat application, and in this case the plans have already been reviewed and approved by Rice Creek <br />rd <br />36 Watershed District as part of the larger Midland Legacy Estate 3 Addition project. Additional <br />37 information from Public Works Department staff is included with this RCA as part of Attachment D. <br />38 Tree Preservation <br />39 The tree preservation and replacement requirements in §1011.04 of the City Code provide a way to <br />40 quantify the amount of tree material being removed for a given project and to calculate the resulting tree <br />41 replacement obligation. The applicant has provided the inventory of trees, and the resulting calculation <br />42 of the tree replacement obligation is included in Attachment C. Satisfaction of the tree replacement <br />43 obligation could entail a combination of replacement trees and “cash-in-lieu” payments of $500 per tree <br />44 should the developer be unable to replace the number of trees specified in the replacement calculation. <br />7c RCA.docx <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />
