Roseville Plann1ng Commission Minutes April 9, 1986 Page 11 A question was asked with respect to the City's financing of the housing revenue bond for the project. Waldron replied that the City's full faith in credit is not behind the housing revenue bond. The City only lends its tax exempt status to the bonds, while all the financial obligations remain with the developer. Sandy McGiffin asked if the brick was going to be red. Goldstein replied no, it wouldn't, but they would consider earthtones. She also asked as to whether the garage isn't actually half above ground. Thompson replied the land is sloped up to part of the garage which is underground, to meet drainage concerns. Irene Roberts asked that the developers drive down Pascal, and actu- ally look at the impact of the proposed development in the area. Saxe Roberts emphasized again that the building is too high, he doesn't like the change, and it appeared to him that the developers came in at three stories, eventually asked for six more, and ended up getting an average of five, which met their basic needs in the beginning. Roger Wachter said he is pleased with the concept of the development; however, he is more concerned about such a high density type of development being placed in the existing neighborhood. Thus, he supports the concept, but is opposed to the twelve foot increase in height. Goldstein again reemphasized how the proposed P.U.D. and variance modifications will be workable, in that setbacks are significantly increased, and that the construction is of much higher quality at this point in time. Recommendation DeBenedet moved, Goedeke seconded, approval of the Rosepointe request for Special Use Permit Amendment and three variances at 2545 Hamline, with the following conditions: 1. That there shall be no driveway and parking to the southeast, as depicted on plans. 2. That staff approve fire, utility, and grading plans. 3. That staff approve landscape plans which should be coordinated with the neighbors concerns. 4. That the landscape wall on Hamline Avenue shall be brick. 5. That sidewalks shall be constructed on Hamline. 6. That no exhaust or mechanical systems shall be placed on the southern side of the parcel. Any systems placed on the roof shall be screened. 7. That the pond area shall be dedicated to the City. 8. That the approval is per plans submitted March 5, 1986.
