Transit), and one letter in favor (Cynthia Higgins). Member Traynor explained Lot A would be 9600 s.f., but that lot size limits the size of the house. Thomas Paschke explained that there are many single family lots (8,800) in Roseville, nearly 10% of the lots are undersized. Mr. Trudeau, applicant, said he had no comments. Mary Knodle, 2493 Simpson, asked if other homes are in similar situations. Thomas Paschke explained similar non-conformity in the area and noted that the 30% impervious surface requirement was not in place when most lots were built upon. Ms. Knodle asked if the setbacks would be different for this lot. The setbacks would be 10 feet on the sides and 30 feet in the front and rear. Ms. Knodle asked if the new owner could ask for future variances regarding setbacks. (yes) Chair Mulder stated he was not comfortable with this request because neither of the lots meets the requirements. He discussed the recent requests for large garages, impervious surface increases, etc. Member Traynor said this would change the character of the neighborhood which has larger lots and open space consistency. Member Ipsen asked how common this has been in Roseville. (More in the past two years than three years prior to that) . Member Blank explained that conditions could be attached. A tuck-under design could be offered. Chair Mulder closed the hearing. MOTION: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Traynor, to recommend denial of a 16.6 foot lot depth and a 1,664 sq. ft. lot size Variance to Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements) for Parcel "A", and a 10 foot lot depth and a 994 sq. ft. lot size Variance to Section 1004.016 (Residential Dimensional Requirements) for Parcel "B", because there is no hardship, creating two substandard lots, and could be creating future hardships on the site, and (Member Traynor) found that the project was inconsistent with the neighborhood. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Motion carried.. 6. Information, Reports and Other Business: a. Planning File 3577: Sketch Plat, Redevelopment proposal for the Mastell site, 2420 Cleveland Avenue. Thomas Pasckhe explained that Randy Stockman, Stockman Management Company, is seeking comments and direction from the Planning Commission on a redevelopment proposal for the former Mastell Brothers site at 2420 Cleveland Avenue (between Schmidt Music and Joe Senser's). The proposal would require a subdivision plat and a planned unit development/rezoning. The six acre parcel contains a single trucking structure which is deteriorating; the parcel is relatively flat and is surrounded by steep slopes on the north, south, and east sides. The development team has met with the City Planner and Community Development Director on a number of occasions to review the redevelopment proposal. The current proposal seeks to redevelop the site into a 100 unit Staybridge Suites and two restaurants, on four lots, one which will contain storm water management requirements. The proposed hotel would be 4 stories in height and include a pool. On separate lots would be two national chain-type restaurants (4,000 sq. ft. and 5,600 sq. ft.) including outdoor patios. Access to the site would be from Cleveland Avenue (single) and the majority of parking would be centered on the three structures. Thomas Paschke explained the PUD process which the City utilizes in redevelopment proposals. Randy Stockman explained the project (Chair Mulder asked who would own the ponds). Member Blank asked if the empty restaurant lots will be landscaped in advance of the restaurant construction (periphery only). Chair Mulder asked for details of signage near ponds and Joe Sensers. Were there plans to move the ponds to other locations? John Pope, AlA, explained the grade change (8') from east to west and alternate pond locations. Chair Mulder asked if the ponds must hold water permanently with aeration or fountains.
