The average is to be calculated by measuring the distance of the house to the north and south from their east property line, then dividing by two, and in no case be further east than the west line of the sewer easement cutting diagonally through Parcel “B”. e.The applicant must provide a landscape plan that illustrates screening of parking and other improvements from the property to the north and south. f.The applicant must contribute the appropriate park dedication and sewer accessibility charge fees. g.The applicant must submit a site, grading, driveway, and utility plan that will be reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Community Development staff prior to building permit issuance. h.The applicant must provide the City with the appropriate survey and recording medium necessary for City approval in order to properly record the subdivision document with Ramsey County. Joe Wozniak asked about the slope to the east – will it affect this lot? Will the lot and driveway accommodate emergency vehicles? Will a hydrant be needed and will the Fire Marshal review this site? (Planning staff will work with the Fire staff prior to the any final decision by the Council.) Member Pust asked if the staff had received comments. (No.) Rick Boschee, developer/applicant, explained how he will improve the existing home. A garage will be added (two stalls facing the street) with a 3rd stall behind the 2 new stalls. Member Wozniak asked if the height of the new building will be visually inhibiting for views to the east from existing houses. (Boschee responded that the new home will be a rambler and will be setback to respect view lines on both sides.) Russell Catalin, 2824 Lakeview Avenue, asked if trees will be removed – this would be a significant change. The driveway concentrations along the east side of Lakeview will increase. (Boschee explained that trees along the north side of the driveway would be removed – 2 deciduous trees and 1 evergreen. He will plant new smaller trees and construct privacy fencing along the drive. He would attempt to move the evergreen in the northwest corner of the lot. Member Bakeman asked if the existing driveway will be retained. (Boschee expects one drive lane for each house. The “U” would be removed.) Member Wozniak asked for the location of the fire hydrant. (North West corner of property, adjacent to evergreen.) Thomas Paschke explained how the staff has worked with other property owners in the city. Member Pust asked if a recommendation would be premature, because of the need for information http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2005/pm050907.htm12/27/2005
