more vertical and horizontal breaks in the mass of the building - no long, flat walls - and use color and variations of materials. (The materials will change and design will step down along the west side and the floor level will be lowered by 4 to 5 feet). Member Stone asked for clarification on surface water management. Good Samaritan will be responsible to maintain water management structures. The City staff believes this project is consistent with the direction provided by the Comprehensive Plan which encourages housing diversity and revitalization and recommends approval contingent upon compliance with conditions. Shirley Broad, 500 County Road B (Villa Park) said the height of the building is of concern. Adjacent to this site is Palisades and other units in the area. She asked if there are more units than average in the area. Dennis Welsch explained that Roseville does have similar clusters of mixed multi-family housing. Brian Kelley, KMS Management (Palisades), stated that Palisades is supportive of this proposal. He expressed concern about drainage and utility easements along the east property line of the Good Samaritan site. Erosion of this site is a concern. Deb Bloom explained that a storm water pipe, ten feet below the surface, exists. The building will be lower, a possible retaining wall and joint regrading will be done along this boundary. Kathleen Johnson, 466 County B, asked if there will be more multi-family along County Road B (nothing on Comprehensive Plan). Chair Duncan closed the hearing. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Peper, to recommend approval of the preliminary plat for Good Samaritan Society, creating one lot, with easements and right-of-way dedications as required by the Roseville's Public Works Department, Ramsey County, and Capital Regions Watershed.

Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Traynor, to recommend approval of the rezoning request by Good Samaritan Society changing the current zoning of the property from B-1, Limited Business to Planned Unit Development with an underlying zoning of R-3, General Residence District.
