Lot 3 Lot 4 85 feet 85 feet 220 feet 220 feet 18,700 sq. ft. 18,700 sq. ft. 30 feet 30 feet Mr. Paschke advised that City Staff had reviewed the submitted plans (utility, grading, and drainage) and supports the size and location of all utilities proposed, and the preliminary grading/drainage plan and recommended approval subject to conditions indicated in the project report dated November 3, 2004. Member Traynor asked what is the standard for lot subdivision. Thomas Paschke explained the staff review uses the City Code, Subdivision and Zoning requirements. All dimension criteria meet or exceed the City requirements in this proposal. No variances are requested. Member Bakeman asked for clarification of the easements and how they impact the setbacks. Thomas Paschke explained the Xcel overhead and Amoco underground-pipeline easements. No building setback is required from the easement. No driveway, patio or man-made structure can be placed on the pipeline easement. Member Pust asked who would bear the cost of utilities and road services (Developer's costs). Chair Mulder explained that there is no requirement that a developer be present in order to take action. (The applicant\developer was not present.) Linda Neilson, 1349 Brooks Avenue W, asked what the relation is between Jeff Cruz and Jeff Brown and Hunter Development. Thomas Paschke explained the application and Mr. Brown's interest. Regarding curb cuts, the setback must be met City Code set back requirements and be no more than 26 feet in width on the City right-of- way. Ms. Nelson asked what role Ramsey County plays in this process (curb cut permits). Ms. Neilson commented that she agreed with the staff condition and is happy to see single family homes on the site. There being no further public comment, Chair Mulder closed the hearing. Chair Mulder asked Thomas Paschke to explain the history of previous proposals on this site. Member Traynor asked for further details or correspondence from the developer that the staff might have. Member Pust asked for clarification on ownership and the application. Thomas Paschke stated that staff will request the developer to be present. Chair Mulder explained there is nothing in the application that should hold it up for the developer to appear. The staff must inform the developer to appear at the Commission and Council meetings. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Boerigter, to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat, Oakcrest Estates, allowing the creation of four single family residential lots from the 1.44 acre parcel at 2550 Hamline Avenue, based on the comments of Section 4 and conditions of Section 5 of the project report dated November 3, 2004 as indicated below: 1. The access for Lot 1, Block 1 is to a County Road, it is necessary to construct a turn around for this driveway. The County Traffic Engineer (Dan Soler) must review this plat and driveway access. 2. Due to the location of the actual overhead electrical wires, the City is requiring this plat be reviewed by Xcel Energy. It appears that the wires will be over a portion of the buildable area of Lot 1, Block 1. Additional measures might need to be taken to ensure the safety of this home. 3. The exact location of the Amoco Oil easement must be identified on the plat prior to the final approval by the City Council (this issue came up during a previous process). 4. Curb cuts must be in conformance with the City of Roseville Residential driveway standards. 5. Any work within the Ramsey County right-of- way will require a permit. 6. There is sanitary and water available in Oakcrest Avenue. However, it will be necessary to excavate within City right-of-way to connect the new homes to these utilities. Street restoration will be necessary consistent with the City's right-of-way permit policy. Oakcrest Avenue was reconstructed in 1981. 7. The proposal must include a tree preservation plan specific to those trees located around the periphery and include a landscape plan. 8. This parcel is a non-platted lot. When platted into Oakcrest Estates will have a park dedication
