Overview• ArtMueller, a longtime Roseville resident and developer has proposed to purchase and develop the Weyer property at 2025 West County Road B into an Active Senior Living Community'. This proposal was brought forward March 4, 2009 before the Roseville Planning Commission for consideration. The Commission, after consideration and debate respectfully approving the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning request to allow for high density use. However, after much deliberation, voting to deny the General Concept PUD. As with the previous proposal, the discussion / debate focused on items such as density, scale, and design appearance. With respect and sensitivity to the neighborhood and the design process, we have again revised our plan to address the neighborhood concerns, after discussion of the pending project with the Roseville Planning Division. The latest proposal features 55 (1, 2, & 3 bedroom) units with a variety of spacious floor plans, maintenance-free quality exterior architectural materials, landscaping, an outdoor water feature, and underground parking. The concept features a community room, game room, craft and exercise rooms, a kitchen, library, private dining, a guest room, an office, mailroom, as well as many sitting areas. The project is designed for underground owner parking spaces, and at-grade visitor parking spaces. Siting and Design revisions of the building proposal include: • A better defined covered entryway feature, greeting guests as they enter the building. • Parking and access have been revised slightly and feature more parking close to the drop-off area, with a continued water feature as the centerpiece. • Retention Pond has been slightly modified in shape, but is still the same size and in the same location. • The second garage access point has been eliminated at the Southeast end of the building. • The northeast corner of the building has been adjusted and is now proposed at 45 degrees instead of a straight 90 degree flat wall. This feature will soften and break up the wall expanse, and lessen the visual impact from all properties on the east and the northeast sides of the property. • The proposal now features various building jogs, which help to break up the perceived long expanse of the building from all sides. This feature was a suggestion through discussion with the Architect and Developer, as well as design suggestions from neighbors and Council Members. • The southeast L-Wing of the building now jogs at an angle as it approaches County Road B. This will also help to soften the impact from the adj acent road and give the building some additional character, privacy, and curb appeal. The 3�d floor steps back 10 feet further from the property line than the lower floors. At the NW corner the 3�d floor steps back one unit. • The angled L-Wing feature along County Road B, will feature a small end cap roof to soften the perceived height of the structure. The roof line has been lowered and some additional design features added to give the appearance of a single-family structure at the south elevation. • Both the north and east sides of the building have increased setbacks from the prior proposals. The north setback varies between 21 feet and 369 feet, while the east setback varies between 30.5 feet and 51.7 feetin distance. • The exterior building materials are still proposed to be low maintenance, with some additional accent features added to give the exterior more flair, and to better reflect a residential design-build type product. �
