ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION page#15 Wednesday, November 2, 1988 Planninq File 1908 Barry O'Meara request for a special use permit for a planned unit development and preliminary plat at 2551 Lexington Avenue. Presentation Dahlgren described the location, the proposed project, and how it differed from the previous project approved on the site. Keel summarized the public works department concerns about the proposed cul-de-sac. Keel stated that the whole cul-de-sac should be shifted to the south and built at this time. Nisja stated that proper fire access could be addressed by widening an access drive adjacent to the cul-de-sac. Nisja also pointed out the need for minimum of 20 foot wide access drives. O'Meara sated that he would prefer to leave the cul-de-sac as is, widen the access drive and then complete the cul-de-sac when the trailer park gets developed at a future date. 0' Meara added that snow removal should not be a problem, that there is ample room for snow storage around the cul-de-sac. Keel responded that city had no legal right to dump snow on private property. O'Meara stated that the cul-de-sac could be shifted if necessary and the adjacent driveway width could be adjusted with accordance to the fire marshal's requirements. Johnson asked if the City could approve the development without parking areas being curbed. Dahlgren answered that the City can approve something different because this is a PUD. Dahlgren also commented that the advantage of no curbing would be to keep the development more residential in character but that curbing made sense from a long term maintenance basis. Johnson asked about the exterior design and how the new buildings would be tied to the existing building. 0 'Meara replied that they are not attempting to do that because the buildings are different styles and there is no need to tie them together. O'Meara stated that they are proposing to use maintenance free siding probably aluminum on the new buildings and that the existing building would be a combination of brick and probably aluminum siding. Johnson asked if there would any brick on the new units. O'Meara replied that there would be none and that the neighbors liked the appearance of the units. Berry asked about the color of the siding. O'Meara replied that the decisions on color have not been made and they intended to get the input from potential buyers before a decision on color would be made.
