<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />Pagett 11 <br /> <br />Wednesday, July 6, 1988 <br /> <br />Moeller <br />Dahlgren <br />density. <br /> <br />questioned how the density <br />pointed out that it would <br /> <br />would compare <br />be similar to <br /> <br />to R-2. <br />the R-2 <br /> <br />Maschka asked about exterior building materials. Gregory <br />responded that the 8-plexes would be 5 to 6 ft. high brick base <br />wi th siding above it. The apartments would be 60% brick with <br />siding. Gregory stated that the materials were chosen to reduce <br />the institutional look of the development and to make it fit <br />better into the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Maschka asked if the apartment buildings would be staggered and <br />if it would be level all the way across. Harry Olson, architect <br />for the project, indicated that the buildings would be staggered <br />and that the site drops as you go north. <br /> <br />Berry asked what the colors of the exterior materials would be. <br />Gregory responded that it would be dark reddish brick, dark <br />asphalt shingled roof and grey siding. <br /> <br />Berry asked for the definition of "up-scale". <br /> <br />Gregory replied that it would be one which creates a value for <br />the community and a type of product which has an above normal <br />level of amenities. <br /> <br />Goedeke asked if it would be regular or large size brick. <br />Gregory indicated that it would be regular size brick. <br /> <br />Johnson asked if the applicant had any information on the traffic <br />impact of the project. Dave Casci from Barton-Ashton Associates <br />summarized a traffic study which his firm had completed for the <br />project. Casci testified that their study focused on the 4:30- <br />5:30 weekday pm. peak period which would, in their opinion, be <br />the worst case situation. Casci stated that the majority of the <br />traffic would be going to Lexington Avenue and that there was <br />sufficient capacity on Lexington Avenue to handle the project. <br />Casci informed the commission that the basis of their <br />projections are national studies by the Institute of <br />Transportation and Engineers, and also by surveys of actual <br />projects in the metropolitan area completed by their firm. Their <br />study indicates that during the peak hour, there could be, on the <br />average, four vehicles waiting in a driveway to exit, and that <br />the average wait at Woodhill and Lexington Avenues would be <br />20 - 25 seconds which are acceptable levels. <br />
