ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Wednesday, January 12, 1994 8 amendment of the city's Comprehensive Plan from a church designation to a high- density residential designation at 2131 North Fairview Avenue for a project consisting of 52 townhome units on 4.25 acres. Chairman Keith Wietecki opened the public hearing and requested City Planner Michael Falk to provide a background report on the project. City Planner Michael Falk, provided a verbal presentation based upon his written report of December 9, 1993, in which he described the project in detail which consisted of a four-building project with 52 townhome units. He stated that this was a modified, back-to-back villa-type unit that creates a density of 12 units per acre. The units will be individually owned by the occupants and maintained on the exterior by the homeowners' association. Falk explained the two access points would be on to County collector streets at the north and east ends of the project. Fairview Avenue abuts the east side of the project and County Road B abuts the north side of the project. The traffic generation is estimated to be 6 trips per unit, per day, which is equivalent to 320 total trips per day with 50 percent of the vehicles using County Road B and 50 percent using Fairview Avenue. This is not considered an excessive amount of additional trips on the existing roadways. Falk also explained the parking on the site which includes one enclosed parking space and one space in front of each unit. In addition, 22 spaces will be located throughout the project area, and 41 spaces would be available in a cross-parking easement within the adjacent church parking lot. The church parking lot will be increased to accommodate additional spaces. Falk explained the site drainage and temporary holding ponds in the southeast comer of the project. He also noted that the hookups for city sewer and water and the capacity in the area are acceptable. Falk explained the landscape plan in detail. He also explained how the applicants had moved the southeast entrance further to the north along Fairview Avenue to reduce traffic movement and headlight visibility from houses on the east side of Fairview Avenue. City Planner Falk summarized the project as a 52-unit townhome project at a density of 12.33 units per acre, and that is similar to the Concordia Meadows project except
