ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION April 8, 1992 Paget 3 R-1 to PUD for the construction of a 30 unit owner occupied townhouse project at 725 W. Larpenteur Avenue. Presentation Shardlow summarized the PUD process and the proposed townhouse project. Kevin VanRiddle, the applicant, summarized the site section, market study, price range, play area contingencies, the fact that the final design of the detention pond has not been completed and that there were 35 packets distributed to the neighbors for comments prior to this meeting. Discussion Issues discussed included the distance to the pavement to the pond, area of the pond, the function of the detention pond, the necessity to protect the pond, water management organization requirements, DNR requirements, erosion control, that the density was too high, how snow storage would be handled, concern that there was not a neighborhood meeting held, whether or not the comprehensive plan designation reflected the true desire of the community, and the adequacy of the open space provided. Citizen Testimony Gene Anderson, 1707 Alta Vista, questioned how many bedrooms there would be, how long the proposed trail would be and how much landscaped area would be provided. Peter Zeller, 1773 Alta Vista, expressed concern about gas seeping from vehicles into the pond and the amount of the site that will drain to Sweeney Pond. Allan Eitsmith questioned whether any contact had been made with DNR and if the City will participate in the purchase of the water line easement. Keel indicated that the developer would have to purchase the easement rights. Dave Engber, 670 Roma, questioned whether the existing pond would be torn up when the water main was constructed. An unidentified citizen stated that this proposal involved too many homes on the site. Dave Wilson, 1782 Alameda, expressed concern about the additional people on the wildlife pond and concern about pollution from automobiles. Kathleen Sorteberg expressed concern about the impact of the project on wildlife, objected to the name of the project and stated -bhco.-b -bhc. cl.c.n~l. -br v.c L.l.c .t:-'.L v j c.... L.
