4.0 REVIEW of PROJECT: 4.1 The project area consists of approxima�ely 1.44 acres (62,644 sq. ft.), of which 11,392 sq. ft. lies within a dual easement (over h��d electrical and underground gas pipeline). If developed as a single family detached }�ousing development with 11,000 sq. ft. minimum lots, 5 homes could be constructedwitY� a public or private cul-de-sac at a density of 3.5 units per acre, while the proposal seeks8 lots averaging 4,375 sq. ft. and a common lot of 2�,612 sq. ft. for a density of 5.5 units �er acre. 4.2 To the north, south, and east of the red�velopment site are single family residences and to the west is Rosepointe Senior.�pa�n�r�rs (190 units). To the northwest lies the Hamline Office Plaza and to the southwest are si�igle family residences. 4.3 Roseville's policy has been to use site-$pecific Planned Unit Development (PUD) zones and development contracts in redevelopment areas/parcels to allow flexibility and creative design. The Meadow View Hdmes proposal of eight residential town home units will be a PUD zone, specific to the 1.44 acre site. 4.4 In January 2004 the Planning Commission provided Meadow View Homes comments and direction regarding a sketch plan pr'pposaL Meadow View Homes also held a well attended neighborhood meeting regardi�g the proposed development at the community room within Rosepointe. Since the �k�s�li Plan Review in January, Meadow View Homes has refined the floor plan desigr� of the units and developed conceptual elevations for the proposed town home units. 4.5 The proposal for this town home dev�� ment does not require any new public infrastructure. However, the site has �xisting well that must be properly capped. Sanitary sewer and water lateral exter�§� ns to serve the eight town home units have been designed to adequately serve these str� �res. City easements for the sanitary sewer and watermain will be required for extens� s into the site. 4.6 The utilities, such as electricity, ca�[c, t�[e�har�er and natural gas, will be designed and coordinated through the Public �4' �rk� L��par�rn�n� to be underground, and utilize a j oint trenching system where ap�li�a�l�. Furth�r, �il tr-ari�C�rm�rs must be identified on a plan, prior to final approval, �� ESai ��L��,s��ri�l, l� tn pr��ed [ra�atiois� can be evaluated in order to eliminate p�ss��J� uns i ght]y �ocati�ns_ 4.7 The town home proposal seeks approva� for four, two unit (eight total units) structures, four on either side of a private road �� + extending into the parcel from Oakcrest Avenue. Double stall garages are pr �� or each unit, with the center four units garages being side loaded versus facing the private road. Staff and the developer are researching whether the pipeline easem�nt can accommodate visitor parking. PF3546 — RCA 032904 Page 2 of 12
