4.0 REVIE�V of REQUEST: 4.1 On August 19, 2002, the Roseville City Council recommended approval of the General Concept Plan and rezoning from Single Family Residence District (R-1) to Planned Unit Development with an underlying zoning of Two-Family Residence District (R-2). The Council's approval stated a number of suggestions for the developer to consider as did the specified conditions of approval. These included tree preservation especially around the site's periphery, reduced density, increased open space, allowance for deck and porch addition/expansion, additional landscaping w/neighborhood input, modified building, roof, and or facade design, and varying building materials. 4.2 Since the Council's Concept approval, the developer has been working with the Rice Creek Watershed, directly affected properiy owners, and staff to address all suggestions and conditions. 4.3 To address the City Council's comments of August 19, the developer has removed One- two unit townhome, designed the development with a single cul-de-sac, relocated a two unit structure to directly access County Road B, shifted the location (slightly) of the previous pond and townhome structures, and greatly increased open space. 5.0 PROJECT SPECIFICS: 5.1 The current zoning of the three parcels is R- 1, Single Family Residence District, which, as a component of the planned unit development, will be changed and an underlying zoning of R-2 Two Family Residence District established. The R-2 District allows for up to 4 units per acre as does the Comprehensive Plan designation for thlS neighborhood area, Low Density Residential, "LDR". The proposed 22 unit town home development would be 3.52 units per net acre (less road right-of-way). Given the current R-1 zoning, the three existing parcels could be combined and platted into 15 to 19 detached single family lots, with no architectural controls and no common area. 5.2 The proposed use as townhomes is consistent with both the Comprehensive Plan and Section 1004.04.03 (proposed R-2 zoning) of the Roseville City Code. The applicant estimates the value of the units (land, building, improvements) at more than $500,000 per unit, with annual properry taxes exceeding $4,000. 5.3 The Stonecrest PUD proposes to create a single cul-de-sac roadway extending off of County Road B. The roadway would be 28 feet wide within a 50 foot wide right-of-way and offers designated on-street parking areas. The width of the roadway could be reduced to 26 feet with parking on one side with alternating on-street parking bays such as proposed, or the roadway could be reduced to 24 feet with just the designated on- street parking bays.
