�.19 A sidewallc was installed last year along Larpenteur Avenue from Dale Street to Lexington Avenue, which trail will remain in front of the Leben's parcels. This wallc is considered essential for seniors to wallc to nearby shopping areas. Should the sidewallc be damaged or removed as a part of the redevelopment project, it will be required to be replaced to City Standards. Further, the proposal indicates an elaborate interior site path system that connects to a sidewallc constructed along Dionne Street and which runs adj acent to the drop-off area and court yard parlcing. This path system should connect to the sidewallc adjacent to Larpenteur Avenue to allow residents and visitors access to and from the development. �, �� The proposal includes an elaborate landscape plan with a mix of deciduous, coniferous, and perennial plants. Specifically, the proposal includes boulevard trees adjacent to both Dionne Street and Larpenteur Avenue; numerous planting beds, overstory, ornamental, and coniferous trees, shrubs and perennials adjacent to the main access road and storm water ponds; an elaborate landscaped court yard at the rear of the parcel that includes an arbor and large pond feature; and preservation of existing trees along the west and north property lines. However, further consideration of screening options including decorative (solid) wood fencing and evergreen trees between the town homes and the existing single family homes will be required, as will the removal of the existing chain linlc fence and scrub trees along the north property line of the house parcel (1017 L;tr�r�R.cur Avenue). Landscaping adj acent to Larpenteur Avenue (boulevard area) must incorporate elements of the Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape Master Plan. �i.Q POLICY (Comprehensive Plan Consistency) & FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: �_ L The Roseville Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies include the following direction: Roseville Comprehensive Plan (2003) — Goals and Policies - Page 7 through 11.

RESIDENTIAL POLICIES (Roseville Comprehensive Plan text in italics) The City will: 1. Adoptflexible standards for new single family and multi family housing developments to allow for innovative development and more efficient densities. It is not the goal of the City to significantly increase overall residential densities. a� Encourage higher quality mixed developments by allowing planned unit developments as guided by the goals, policies, and performance standards of the community with more dedication of park and open space. The proposal by Greenhouse Village Properties will be a mixed residential development that is designed and zoned through the Planned Unit Development process. The development must meet park dedication requirements (cash payment versus land dedication) and the project provides for a park-like setting on the premises for residents within the proposed cooperative.
