NIPS, Inc., Case No. 1820 Page 2 4. A unique form of housing is proposed consisting of six quadraminiums. Though quadraminiums are a very common form of housing in the Metropolitan Suburbs, there are no such units in Roseville. These units will be rented, though at some time in the future they may be sold pending the disposition of the McDonald's purchase agreement. 5. The site plans and floor plans for the proposed units are attached. You will note that each unit occupies a corner of the structure and is contiguous to an enclosed courtyard separated by a screen wall. The buildings are two stories high with two bedrooms in the upstairs level. The required parking is provided with one garage space per unit and one exterior parking space per unit. In addition and in accordance with ordinance requirements, there is Enough space in front of each garage unit to park a car without being an impediment to normal vehicular circulation. Therefore, one can park his/her car in front of a garage and leave it there, and all of the pa,ck;ng spaces and isles will function. This is an ordinance requirement in the R-3A District in Roseville. 6. The basic development proposal is consistent with the City's overall development- policy in two ways: a) It provides for the efficient use of land not now being productive, and b) It puts emphasis on increased housing accommodation versus business expansion. 7. There are, of course, many areas of the City which are planned and promoted for office development. Therefore, it would appear nonessential -o put offices on this site, and we certainly would not want to have offices on the site with access off of Eldridge Avenue. Access to an office building, however, could be provided through the existing restaurant sites owned by the applic-int. Based on the rapid absorption of the rental units that were recently constructed by the Bruetger Company at the southeast corner of Victoria and Highway 36, it would appear that there will be a ready market for the units proposed in this development. . S. Theme may be some concern with respect to additional traffic on Eldridge Avenue. It is likely, however, that most of this traffic will proceed directly north on Fry Street to County Road B. Some, of course, may gain access to the property via Skillman entering either off of Snelling Avenue or Fairview. The impact of 26 units should not be considerable. 9. There is an existing storm sewer easement coverir�y the, entire south 50 feet of the property in question. Consultation with the City Engineers note that this easement could be vacated if other easements are provided for the water and sewer facilities proposed for the project. Tt is proposed to loop the water main. The Engineering Staff notes that this looped water main could be taken over for maintenance by the City.
