Attachment 3 Describe how the proposed use is not in conflict with any regulating maps or other adopted plans The site in question is not within a Shoreland Overlay District and does not contain any National Wetland Inventory wetlands. The City’s Parks and Recreation System plan does not identify this site as a future park or recreational amenity. This site is adjacent to but not within the Rice-Larpenteur Vision Plan project area. Describe how the proposed use is not in conflict with any City Code requirements Title 10 of Roseville’s City Code describes the purpose of the Institutional District as a district designed to “permit and regulate a variety of governmental, educational, religious, and cultural uses that provide important service to the community.” The proposed use of a Government Environmental Service Center is in-keeping with this purpose. Describe how the proposed use will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets and other public facilities A traffic study is currently underway to understand any impacts this site would have on surrounding transportation networks, as well as a geotechnical report to understand soil and drainage implications of the site. The planned trails and sidewalks throughout this site will connect to the City’s larger recreation system, offering additional recreational amenities for the public. Describe how the proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood, will not negatively impact traffic or property values, and will not otherwise harm the public health, safety, and general welfare The primary function of the ESC is to remove HHW from households, which reduces the potential for harm to public health, safety, and general welfare of surrounding neighborhoods. The ESC is being designed with significant community input and engagement and is part of Enhancing Environmental Health Services, a county initiative to redesign and add recycling and waste disposal services at one location to better meet community needs. The surrounding neighborhood has been engaged through a series of in person and virtual meetings when the county learned of the community’s concerns and recommendations for the facility’s design, construction activity and operations. The design team is working to address feedback in the plans to ensure this use is not injurious to the surrounding neighborhood. The center will incorporate sustainable design elements that can serve as a model facility. The unique siting of this ESC allows significant buffering of site amenities from all surrounding parcels through both vegetation and elevation differences. The driveway connections to the site will connect to the private Kent Street, distancing traffic impacts from Larpenteur Avenue. The use of this facility will benefit public health, safety, and welfare, by allowing for the safe disposal of Household Hazardous Waste, recycling, and organics.
