Planning File 3575: Sketch Plan - 185 N McCarrons Blvd.,Guptil. Thomas Paschke advised that Dennis Guptil, Guptil Development, has prepared a Sketch Plan for review by the Planning Commission, which plan proposes to redevelop the existing single family home into a 40 unit condominium and the northern portion of the parcel into 6 town homes. The proposed project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's High Density designation, but a subdivision plat and a planned unit developmenUrezoning are required. The 2.6 acre parcel lies between North McCarrons Boulevard and Elmer Street and includes a large pond/wetland and includes a dated single family home. Mr. Guptil has been working with the Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and the Community Development Department on the proposed redevelopment plan. The current proposal seeks to redevelop the site into 40 condominium units in one structure with access to North McCarrons Boulevard and 6 town home units with access to Elmer Street. The condominium complex would be three stories in height and include underground and surface parking. Shared parking with the adjacent church is also being discussed. The town homes will be 2 to 2-1/2 stories and include 2 stall garages. The HRA has approved the McCarrons Neighborhood Master Plan, a component of which included the redevelopment of the subject site. Mr. Guptil's proposal will be required to meet the requirements of this Plan and those of the Roseville City Code under the Planned Unit Development process. Dennis Guptil explained his interest in the site. He explained the layout of the buildings and the pond. More input from the City staff and Watershed will be necessary. The illustration showed a 25-foot setback from the pond. The town homes will look like ramblers with walkouts to the pond. The condominium will not be age restricted. The church will share access and parking, but may also assist with marketing and promotion. Dave Hokebau, Gallilee Lutheran Church long-range planning team, has been meeting with Guptil Development and is encouraged by project planning to date. Chair Mulder liked the staggered look of the townhomes that breaks up the visual mass. Chair Mulder and Member Blank agreed the approach is correct and exciting.

Member Ipsen explained that size - heavy, large, flat is a problem with the neighbors. d. Planning File 3552: Twin Lakes Stakeholders Report from May 13 and May 27 sessions.
