1 Proposal Summary <br />2 The applicant proposes to subdivide the parcelat 3080-3110 Old Highway 8 into twolots and an outlot <br />3 so that each of three apartment buildings (i.e., one already completed, one under construction, and one <br />4 yet to be built) will each stand on its own lot. The outlot will need to be platted as a buildable lot at a <br />5 later date before the third apartment building can be constructed on it. The proposed Edison Addition <br />6 plat and an overall development site plan are included with this RCA in Attachment C. <br />7 When exercising the “quasi-judicial” authority on subdivision requests, the role of the City is to <br />8 determine the facts associated with a particular proposal and apply those facts to the legal standards <br />9 contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the application meets <br />10 the relevant legal standards and will not harm the public health, safety, and general welfare, then the <br />11 applicant is likely entitled to the approval. The City is, however, able to add conditions to all such <br />12 approvals to ensure that potential impacts to parks, schools, roads, storm sewers, other public <br />13 infrastructure, and the surrounding community are adequately addressed. Subdivisions may also be <br />14 modified to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to provide for the orderly, <br />15 economic, and safe development of land, and to promote housing affordability for all levels. <br />16 Minor Plat <br />17 Roseville’s Development Review Committee (DRC) met on March 10 and 24, 2022, to review the <br />18 proposal, which conforms to the pertinent City Code provisions. Comments and feedback based on the <br />19 DRC’s review of the revised application are included in the analysis below, and the full comments <br />20 offered in memos prepared by DRC members are included with this RCA in Attachment D. <br />21 Proposed Lots <br />22 There are no minimum size requirements, per se, for lots in the HDR district. Instead, lot size is related <br />23 to the number of dwelling units allowed by the standard HDR density range and the density bonus that <br />24 can be earned by structuring a certain amount of the required parking stalls under buildings, in garages, <br />25 beneath ground-mounted solar panel arrays sheltering stalls in a surface lot, etc. Given the standard <br />26 density limit of 24 dwelling units per acre and the 20% density bonus achieved by the existing and <br />27 proposed structured parking, each proposed lot is configured to contain a permitted number of dwelling <br />28 units as well as all of the parking stalls required for those units. <br />29 Setbacks and Impervious Coverage <br />30 Building setbacks are not specifically reviewed and approved as part of a plat application, but the three <br />31 phases of apartment construction are being designed to conform to all pertinent setback requirements. <br />32 Likewise, the impervious coverage limits established in the zoning code are not strictly regulated in the <br />33 plat review process, but the existing and proposed phases are being designed to conform to the <br />34 requirements. Given the development is a permitted use, full code compliance review occurs at the <br />35 building permit phase. <br />36 Storm Water Management <br />37 The grading and storm water management plan included with Attachment C is a required component of <br />38 a plat application, but it is not intended to be approved with the plat. The storm water management plan <br />39 for the overall development is being designed and constructed with each phase. Public Works staff have <br />40 been reviewing the preliminary storm water management plans and have found the plans are on track to <br />41 satisfy all pertinent requirements. <br />42 Tree Preservation <br />43 The tree preservation and replacement requirements in §1011.04 of the City Code provide a way to <br />44 quantify the amount of tree material being removed for a given project and to calculate the resulting tree <br />7a RCA.docx <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />
