Planning Commission Minutes August 9, 1995 Mr. Falk noted that the project consists of a concrete, masonry block unit that is painted, and that this is not permitted within the City of Roseville design standards. The developers will suggest alternatives for this design standard. The staffhas reviewed dumpster screening and finds it adequate. The roof top screening will not be complete until the building is in place, when the staff will review whether air and heating on the units can be seen from the property lines and must be screened. Mr. Falk noted that the site will have less impervious surface than the previous or existing projects. There will be a NURP pond proposed in the northwest comer ofthe project. At this time, Western Auto has not proposed additional development on the north one- half of the site. If additional development is proposed at a future date, an Amendment to the PUD will be necessary. Signage must still be reviewed by the staff. Landscaping includes existing and new evergreens ( on site), and trees to be planted along the boulevards. Trees will also be planted in the parking lots, and will provide for screening of the bay doors. The placement of curb and gutter in the parking lot is required by the design standards, and plantings within those curb and gutter islands, within the parking lot, must be completed. Michael Falk explained that a traffic study completed by Traffic Consultants SEH indicates that the average daily trips will decrease in comparison to the current bingo traffic. The peak average trips per hour will change from nighttime and weekend to retail activities during the week day. The internal circulation within the parking areas and exits from the parking area is rated as good. The City Engineering staff report recommended that 7 conditions be attached to the PUD. Michael Falk explained that the Planning Staff is recommending approval of the PUD because it is consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan designation for the area of "business;" the project can meet the design standards; and the northern portion of the site, while not developed presently, could be developed with an Amendment to the PUD at a later date. Chairman Keith Wietecki asked if a variance was necessary on the parking setback along the south property line adjacent to Oakcrest. Michael Falk responded that, if the parking variance now in place along the south property line were eliminated, this would eliminate one row of parking which is approximately 15 spaces. The city zoning and parking requirements call for 65 spaces for this project. There are 101 spaces on the site. 3
