RCA Attachment 2 <br />1 a. Consider a Request to Subdivide a Parcel from the West End of the Roseville <br />2 Covenant Church Property and Re-Guide and Rezone it for Low-to-Medium- <br />3 Density Residential Development (PF24-004) <br />4 Chair Pribyl opened the public hearing for PF24-004 at approximately 6:37 p.m. and <br />5 reported on the purpose and process of a public hearing. She advised this item will be <br />6 before the City Council on September 23, 2024. <br />7 <br />8 Senior Planner Lloyd summarized the request as detailed in the September 4, 2024, <br />9 staff report. He noted three community members reached out to City staff with <br />10 concerns and opposition to this proposal. <br />11 <br />12 Member Bauer asked if the Commission follows staff recommendation of allowing <br />13 this MDR and guiding it LDR for the Comprehensive Plan would the 3.6 max <br />14 allowed be correct? <br />15 <br />16 Mr. Lloyd indicated that was correct. He noted mathematically it would be an 8-unit- <br />17 per-acre density maximum of about 20,000 square feet would be approximately 3.6 <br />18 units. <br />19 <br />20 Member McGehee indicated the City does not have any obligation to change the <br />21 Comprehensive Plan and change the zoning and can remain institutional. <br />22 <br />23 Mr. Lloyd noted that was correct. <br />24 <br />25 Member McGehee explained she drove by this area and it is a heavily <br />26 apartment/duplex area and this is one of the only places with large mature trees which <br />27 is noted in the report. It seemed to her that people do use that and it does provide <br />28 privacy for the residential neighborhood. <br />29 <br />30 Chair Pribyl explained regarding cash in-lieu-of parkland, this is an unusual proposal <br />31 because proposals coming before the Commission are usually from a developer, and <br />32 in this case, it is the church coming forward to plat a separate lot but is not proposing <br />33 to do the development and it is unlikely conceivable that the lot will not be sold in the <br />34 immediate future and have it developed and yet the church is being tasked with <br />35 paying the cash in-lieu-of parkland fee, assuming it will be developed. She wondered <br />36 if that was automatic. She wondered if that should be assigned to the church or a <br />37 future developer. <br />38 <br />39 Mr. Lloyd explained the typical procedure is once the City is ready to release the plat <br />40 documents to be recorded at Ramsey County, that is when the applicant pays the park <br />41 dedication fee and is required. There have in the past been some mechanisms by <br />42 which park dedication was required at a plat approval but not collected until a builder <br />43 acquired a property and began building. That was before his time working for the <br />44 City. He did not think it would be surprising for the church to pass that cost along to <br />45 a potential buyer. There is no mechanism to delay the initial payment. <br />46 <br />47 Mr. John Holter, Business Administrator at Roseville Covenant Church was at the <br />48 meeting for questions. <br />49 <br />Qbhf!36!pg!345 <br /> <br />
