Planning File 3489: Request by Ramona Mogg, 474 County Road C, for PRELIMINARY PLAT and GENERAL CONCEPT PLAN approval for a planned unit development to allow the construction of six town homes (in groups of two attached units) on the premises. Chairman Jim Mulder opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the staff written report dated August 6, 2003. Mr. Paschke explained the proposal and advised that Ramona Mogg has requested consideration of a planned unit development under the General Concept Plan (Section 1008.1 OC) of the Roseville City Code. This proposal seeks approval of a preliminary plat to subdivide two parcels totaling 4.4 acres into 6 zero lot line, owner occupied, townhome units and a residential lot for the existing home, and approval of the General Concept Plan Planned Unit Development establishing an underlying zoning of R-2, Two Family Residence District. The proposed 6 unit town home development and single family residence would be 1.6 units per gross acre and 2.5 units per net acre (less wetland area). The current zoning of the three parcels is R-1, Single Family Residence District, which, as a component of the planned unit development, will be changed and an underlying zoning of R-2 Two Family Residence District established. The R-1 and R-2 Districts allows for up to 4 units per acre as does the Comprehensive Plan designation for this neighborhood area, Low Density Residential, "LDR". Given the current R- 1 zoning, the two parcels could be combined and platted into 3 to 5 detached single family lots, with no architectural controls and no common area. The grading/drainage plan for this development will require the approval of the Grass Lake Watershed and the Roseville Engineering Department. Based on the proposed grading plan all town home units will be walkout units. The parcel is located adjacent to a large wetland for which a minimum setback of 50 feet is required. The proposed custom designed town homes are set back a minimum of 60 feet and as much as 100 feet from the wetland. The northeastern most town home is setback a minimum of 30 feet from the property line adjacent to County Road C, while the southeastern most townhome is setback a minimum of 28 feet from the east property line, that boundary separating the Mogg parcel from the single family homes along Cohansey Street. The Roseville City Code requires new two-family attached units to have a minimum structure setback distance between buildings of 20 feet. The proposed PUD has a minimum structure separation of 20 feet. Impervious coverage for the proposed development, including the existing home is estimated at 25,113 sq. ft or 23.6% of the net developable land area (106,359 sq. ft). A single family residential development of 4 to 6 lots Thomas Paschke illustrated photos of the site and the proposed 20' wide private drive. Member Peper asked for details of the retaining wall adjacent to the driveway. Thomas Paschke explained a letter of opposition from adjoining property owners and an email supporting the project (Salene, August 5, 2003). Bob Moser, developer for the Mogg proposal, stated he has held meetings with the neighbors on the site. The plan
