ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION page# 3 Wednesday, December 7, 1988 types of trees and pointed out that it was their intent to supply a variety of trees but not to screen the development completely from adjacent residential uses. Johnson asked what size the trees would be when they were planted. Erickson answered that the size would be according to City standards. Dahlgren pointed out that the City does not have specific size requirements but generally looked for 2-1/2 inch caliper deciduous trees and 4-6 foot carniferous trees. Johnson expressed concern that the developer has not provided enough information on signage and landscaping. DeBenedet pointed out that this is the final review by the Planning Commission and that it is important to get all the information. Dahlgren testified that it is been staff's position that a developer has the right to install signage if it is not shown in the PUD, as long as they meet the sign ordinance requirements. Seigle stated that their intent is to approach signage in a class way. Signs would be located on the building or would be low ground signs in character with the building. DeBenedet inquired what the maximum square footage of signage might be. Seigle responded that they would install whatever the ordinance would allow. Dahlgren stated that 70 sq. feet of signage would be allowed along Lexington and 100 sq. feet along Highway 36. Moeller stated that signage would not be obj ectionable on the building. Johnson stated a concern that if the landscaping wasn't done all at once, that the landscaping would not appear uniform because the landscaping installed initially would be larger and more mature. Erickson replied that they did not want to have to remove landscaping in 2-3 years when the second phase is constructed. Erickson pointed out that only a small area would not be landscaped initially and that all the perimeter planting would be done in the first phase. Johnson asked what happens to the existing landscaping on the site. Erickson replied that it would be taken down because of soil correction work. Berry asked how many of the students who live in the town houses would have cars. Kinzer testified that approximately 50% of those students have cars and that they would be separated so that they weren't all in one building.
