City of Roseville - Planning Commission Agenda for February 2, 2005 report dated February 2, 2005. City staff will also monitor dust on the site. Page 3 of7 Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried. Member Traynor entered the meeting. b. Planning File 3575: Request by Dennis Guptil for a PRELIMINARY PLAT, REZONING, and GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT to redevelop 185 North McCarrons Boulevard from a single family residence into a 3 story, 43 unit condominium (south parcel) and 6 town homes (north parcel). Chair Mulder opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to provide a brief verbal summary of the project report dated February 2, 2005. Mr. Paschke explained that Dennis Guptil seeks approval of a Preliminary Plat that takes the 2.6 acre parcel and creates 7 lots (one large lot and 6 town home lots, both with common area); a General Concept Planned Unit Development for a 43 unit condominium and 6 town home units; and a Rezoning of the property from R-1, Single Family Residence District to Planned Unit Development with an underlying zoning of R-3, General Residence District and R-6, Townhome District. The project area at 185 McCarrons Boulevard lies between the Galilee Evangelical Church and the National Guard Armory. The parcel also has frontage along Elmer Street. In September of 2003 the Housing & Redevelopment Authority began the McCarrons Neighborhood Study centered on redevelopment options for 185 McCarrons Boulevard. In addition, the study reviewed future land uses for not only 185 McCarrons Boulevard but other sites such as the Armory, commercial sites on Rice Street and other underutilized or at risk residential sites. The study "process" attempted to bring together different land owners, churches and public agencies such as the city, watershed district and school district, to partner in planning the future of the area. Mr. Paschke explained the zoning of the site and the surrounding sites as well as the City policy of utilizing the Planned Unit Development process within redevelopment areas. He noted that in February 2004 the Planning Commission provided Dennis Guptil comments and direction regarding a sketch plan proposal. The proposed condo and town home developments are required to connect to Roseville sanitary sewer and water mains. In the case of sanitary sewer, a lateral extension to serve both the 43 unit condo and the 6 town home units must be designed to adequately serve these structures. The General Concept Plan indicates these laterals as being extended from existing service in the McCarrons right-of-way for the condo and from the Elmer Street right-of-way for the town homes. Final plans must be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department. Similarly, a water lateral will be sized appropriately and extended to each of the developments. A storm water management plan and wetland protection will be required. The submitted plan included a buffer strip around the wetland for added protection and a small pond/infiltration area adjacent the church parking lot and McCarrons Boulevard. Staff has been discussing the options of creating an infiltration swale along Elmer Street, in the existing easement and drainage route, to effectively handle run-off from this site as well at the church and armory parking lots. The remaining utilities, such as electricity, cable, telephone, and natural gas, will be designed and coordinated through the Public Works Department to be underground, and utilize a joint trenching system where applicable. The condominium structure is "L" shaped to fit better with the southern site and the wetland, with the majority of the structure having a presence along the wetland and western property line. 43 underground parking spaces are proposed. Mr. Paschke explained the setbacks, site parking, height and proposed materials of structures. He noted that the condominium parcel will be rezoned to Planned Unit Development (PUD) with an underlying zoning of R-3, General Residence District. Thomas Paschke also explained the town homes which will consist of a single structure of 6 units fronting on Elmer Street. The town home unit will be either a rambler look-out or walk-out depending on the location and site grade. The parcel has a highpoint near the northeast corner and slopes approximately 9 feet in a southwesterly direction to the wetland. Units may include a porch, deck, and/or patio depending on final design and proximity to the wetland. Each unit will have 2 garage parking stalls. He explained the materials, setbacks, and parking and shared access. These 6 units and the associated land will be rezoned to Planned Unit Development (PUD) with an underlying zoning of R-6, Townhouse District. Thomas Paschke explained that the proposed grading plan is currently being reviewed by the Capital Regions Watershed District and the Roseville Public Works Department. A handout of the concerns of the Watershed District (dated January 31, 2005) was distributed at the meeting. Storm water management practices must be implemented for this redevelopment project to control the rate of storm flow discharge and eliminate a percentage of phosphorous. http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/councillplanning/minutes/2005/pm050202.htm 3/31/2005
