public facilities. The site and detailed design of the clubhouse is compatible with the residential character neighborhood. The east facing elevation is 32 feet tall at the roof peak and has a length of 60 feet. To reduce the east facing architectural mass, the special function room (eastern most room) includes four jogs in the structure for a total width of 120 feet at its entry. New landscaping will reduce the impact of the vehicle traffic, person, and building noise. All mechanical units are located on the roof behind screen, six (6) feet in height. From staff's experience and perspective, the project will not reduce property values and will not impact the health, safety and general welfare of Roseville residents. The proposal is compatible with the City Comprehensive Plan. Noise Control 2.22 One of the main concerns the adjacent residents have with the proposal is noise from members/guests and vehicles, and from events in the special function room and the patio areas. The City has reviewed the development plan and the proximity of the new clubhouse to the adjacent residential properties. The proposed clubhouse is situated approximately 150 feet from the Midland Hills property line, 210 feet from adjacent residential property lines, and approximately 280 feet from the nearest residential home. The new clubhouse will be constructed utilizing current construction standards, fixed windows, and mechanical unite will be completely screened to a point six 96) feet in height. Landscaping will buffer and screen the site from homes on the northeast, east, and southeast. Given these improvements, staff has determined the new clubhouse and associated site modifications will greatly reduce noise year round from that of the existing structure and site. 2.23 Section 405 (Noise Control) regulates noise from many different sources. The Minnesota noise standard is set at 50 dBA (decibel level for more than 50% of time) in evening and a standard the City enforces at the property line. Occasionally, properties in Roseville will experience levels that exceed this standard. Some may continue for long duration while others will not. In both cases, the City relies on adjacent property owners to notify the City Police Department of a potential violation in to Section 405.02 D, F, G, or J of the City Code. Because of the building materials used in construction of the new clubhouse, buffering by berms and landscaping, and the distance from Midland Hills Road, the staff has concluded the noise generated from the clubhouse will fall within the acceptable limits of the State. Parking Lot Lighting 2.24 The City Code requires the project to provide a site lighting plan (not available in time for specific comment) meeting the requirements of Section 1010.12 of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance. Specifically lighting shall include a downcast cutoff type of lamp with a maximum of a half (M) of a foot-candle at the property line. The code does not specifically regulate pole height.
