PLANNING REPORT DATE: CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: (C(31p'�Y 1 June 1988 1857 Gerald H. Kaufhold Southwest Corner of County Road B and Lexington Avenue (see sketch) Approval of Preliminary Plat 1. As you all know, the proposal regarding the use of this property has previously been submitted by Mr. Kaufhold. The first proposal included the rezoning of the northerly half of the site and a portion of the easterly part of the site i-o business uses utilizing the existing school Largely as an antique mall, the construction of a new structure for Rose Gallery, some offices and the retention _of a . portion of the site for park purposes. The second proposal included the use of most of the northerly half of the site for a new United States Post Office, the development of a Rose Gallery facility, an office building (the old original school), and a portion for park purposes. The third proposal was for the development of ten. single-family lots fronting on Lexington, Eldridge, and Lindy Avenues, with a portion of the land for public park, and the remainder to be left for school use. 2. In general, the City has resisted the use of significant portions of the site for business purposes (at least in the manner and extent proposed) and has expressed strong interest in the use of a reasonable portion of the site for neighborhood park purposes. 3. The land is shown on the Comprehensive Plan as a public school, and the first decision is one of amending the Comprehensive Plan to conform to any new use that may be proposed and ultimately approved by the City. Though the land is zoned R-1, the approval of a preliminary plat under that zoning should conform to the Comprehensive Plan. In terms of land use, the current proposal utilizes 5.6 acres to be left for school purposes, 2.13 acres for single-family dwellings, and .88 acres for park land. It would seem appropriate and reasonable that the designation of the land use for the total site should be agreed upon in the form of a land use plan amendment prior to the approval of a development proposal for any part of the property. 4. The current proposal is to plat the entire property into ten lots. Lot 1 would be the 5.16 acres left to be utilized for school purposes. Lots 2 through 9 would be single-family lots, each of which meet or exceed the normal lot standards according to the Roseville Zoning Ordinance and subdivision regulations. l-at 10 is .88 acres, or 37,982.17 feet, which constitutes 10.66 percent of the total property. This designation
