City of Roseville - Planning Commission Minutes for September 6, 2006http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2006/pm0906.htm Ayes: 4 Nays: 1 (Traynor) Motion carried. Chair Traynor thanked staff and Commissioners, as well as those providing public comment, and advised that the Planning Case would come before the City Council at their September 25, 2006 regular meeting. Chair Traynor recessed the meeting at 8:25 PM and reconvened at 8:38 PM b.Planning File 3759: J.W. Moore Incorporated, in cooperation with Keller-Williams Realty, request for a PRELIMINARY PLAT, SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT VACATION AND STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION on vacant undeveloped land near Woodruff Avenue and South McCarrons Boulevard. Chair Traynor opened the Public Hearing. Associate Planner Bryan Lloyd reviewed the request of J.W. Moore for re-subdivision of eight (8) existing, undeveloped residential lots into four (4) single-family resident lots (land lies adjacent to Reservoir Woods and near Woodruff Avenue and South McCarrons Boulevard), vacation of an existing sanitary sewer easement, and the subsequent relocation of the sanitary sewer line and re-establishment of the appropriate easement; along with vacation of an undeveloped portion of Chandler Avenue. Mr. Lloyd advised that the proposal calls for the new lots to front along the new public, cul-de-sac street; with each of the proposed lots meeting or exceeding the requirements of the City Code regarding length, width, size and required setback. Mr. Lloyd noted that the submitted plans would be more finely-detailed in the Final Plat approval process. Mr. Lloyd noted that the applicant had requested City support for Vacation of an existing sanitary sewer easement (and subsequent relocation and establishment of a new easement) that runs through the northern portion of six (6) of the eight (8) existing lots; and also the Vacation of the existing, undeveloped right-of-way for Chandler Avenue adjacent to Lot 14, Block 4, Rolling Green. Mr. Lloyd reviewed the process for vacating public easements; and advised that both the Sanitary Sewer Easement and Street Right-of-Way Vacation sought by the applicant had been reviewed by the Public Works/Engineering Department and they had determined that the interests of the public would not be compromised by vacating the easements. Staff recommended approval of the PRELIMINARY PLAT, VACATION of the existing SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT and the VACATION OF THE CHANDLER AVENUE RIGHT-OF-WAY for the 2.02 acre parcel located west of Woodruff Avenue and South McCarrons Boulevard, based on the information in Section 4, the findings in Section 5, and the conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated September 6, 2006. Discussion included location of the proposed cul-de-sac and infiltration basins and possible encroachment on St. Paul Waterworks land. City Engineer Debra Bloom reviewed the plat, designated rights-of-way, and storm water management requirements of the developer, and ability of the developer to encroach upon the right-of-way, while ensuring that the tree buffer remained undisturbed to ensure that the pathway was not impacted. Grant Johnson, Applicant and Chris Wiley, Applicants Mr. Johnson advised that of the two (2) previously presented proposals, one for single-family houses and one for town homes, the single-family proposal had been chosen, following neighborhood and Planning Commission comments. Mr. Johnson noted their willingness to work with staff on any conditions imposed by staff and/or the Commission; and that their only concern was that they questioned if the park dedication had already been paid the park dedication fee was not in place at that time. Chair Traynor read into the record, attached hereto and made a part thereof, an e-mail correspondence from Ms. Erica TenBroek, seeking assurance that the wetland would not be harmed during the development phase, nor once the homes are occupied. Ms. Bloom addressed ongoing cooperation between staff, the developer, and other permitting entities regarding 5 of 102/6/2007 11.15
