particularly due to the Guptil property history of deferred maintenance, code related violations <br />and abandonment of the buildings on the site. In addition, through the study process, it became <br />apparent that there was willingness to discuss partnership in the development of the Guptil site <br />with portions of the Church and the Armory sites to more effectively incorporate neighborhood <br />needs and maximizes site usage. <br />Included in Phase I area is two protected wetlands equaling a total of 3.92 acres. Both of these <br />wetland areas are important to the overall surface water quality and drainage in the area. Any <br />new development must preserve and enhance the wetlands to the extent permissible by the DNR, <br />the City, and the Capital Region Watershed District, to improve its terrain and aesthetic appeal <br />for the overall enjoyment of the community and continue to serve as an integral environmental <br />resource. The high, steeply sloped and wooded pond (0.7 acres) in the western portion of the <br />Armory site is the largest pond and consumes 3.3 acres of the site. The waters edge is at <br />approximately 888 elevation, while the slopes to the southeast and northwest climb to 913, a <br />vertical difference of 25 feet. A walking path or other passive recreational uses is not <br />encouraged around this area of the pond. However, the Guptil site pond is much more level and <br />should be enhanced to include a walking path with benches for public enjoyment. This pond was <br />believed to have been created when the northeast portion of the Armory site was leveled and <br />seeded as a ball field in the 1930’s. The City is working with the watershed district in evaluating <br />the -reconstruction of the natural water flow in this area.This may include elongating the pond, <br />creating additional buffer area for development. (Refer to Appendix E.3. for Drainage Flow <br />Map). <br />It has been apparent from the beginning of the planning process that some public open space <br />must be retained in this study area to serve the immediate needs of the existing and new <br />neighborhood residents. Roseville’s Parks and Recreation System Plan and staff do not identify <br />this area or the Armory as a “Park Facility or Neighborhood Park” area since McCarrons Lake <br />Park, Villa Park, Tamarack Park and the new Reservoir Woods parks are within walking distance <br />and are considered programmed neighborhood parks for the area. However, it is important to <br />retain some public open space “amenity” for existing nearby high-density and single family <br />development and for new housing proposed for the immediate area. The public open space could <br />be incorporated within or in cooperation with the Armory and the Galilee Church as well as the <br />Guptil new development. This could, in part, be improved and financed by the development and <br />remain public space for the entire community’s use. <br />The Phase I area is planned to place the lower density residential use such as townhomes closer <br />to the existing neighborhood to the north and to include the open space between the townhomes <br />and the higher density housing such as condominiums or senior rental to the south. (Refer to <br />Appendix E. 4. for Current Setback and Buildable Area Map). <br />For-sale townhomes (6 units) or small lot single family homes (4 units) are recommended for the <br />north side of the site closer to the wetland and a small open space area. Single or multi-level <br />townhomes would attract young professionals or empty nesters having no interest in yard <br />maintenance. Such townhomes are considered an “affordable” purchase or rental alternative to <br />DRAFT MAY 18, 2004 17 <br /> <br />
