Planning Commission Report Silverview Estates PUD Development Review and Preliminary Plat November 19, 1997 • Page 6 • The Mounds View Fire Marshal has reviewed the plans and requires that the fire department connection to the senior housing building and the two-story office building be accessible year round and at all times. In addition, if the floors of the senior housing building are on wood trusses, the concealed combustible space will need to be subdivided or sprinidered, as will the attic. Also, an additional fire hydrant is required on the east side of Silver Lake Road toward the south end of the senior building. Last, the Hydrant to be relocated in front of Lot 4 on the Highway 10 shall be kept free and clear of any winter snow storage. • At previous Planning Commission meetings on this subject, the extent of development and impervious surfacing within the 100-foot wetland buffer has been a concern. While the site plans do not indicate this, the total square footage of land within the buffer equals 83,234, of which 41 percent (34,054 square feet) is impervious surface. These figures do not take into account the St. Paul Waterworks right of way of approximately 79,000 square feet. Preliminary Plat for Silverview Estates: • The Preliminary Plat for Silverview Estates has been reviewed in light of the provisions contained in Title 1200, Land Subdivisions, of the City of Mounds View Municipal Code. The plat was provided for the purpose of review and comment to the relevant City departments, and no adverse comments were forthcoming. The plat was submitted, as well, to the Rice Creek Watershed District, Ramsey County and Mn/DOT for review and comment. The proposed plat has received the necessary approvals from the Rice Creek Watershed District, Ramsey County and Mn/DOT. • The Preliminary Plat identifies the location for the 30' x 30' easement for a future gateway element but does not indicate the dimensions. The applicant will label the easement dimensions on the preliminary plat. • In a memo dated 8/11/97, Ramsey County has required that an additional three feet of right-of-way for that part of Silver Lake Road adjacent to proposed Lot 4 would be dedicated and an additional ten feet of right-of-way dedicated adjacent to Lot 1. While the additional right-of-way would not impact the placement of structures on Lot 1, this additional right-of-way dedication would reduce the setback for the senior apartment building and associated parking lot to 27 feet. The applicant has indicated that Ramsey County would accept the existing 40 feet of right of way along Lot 4 if the additional ten feet is dedicated along Lot 1, although staff has not yet been able to verify this agreement with Dan Soler, the Ramsey County trffic Engineer. It is the recommendation of staff that, without receipt of a letter confirming this agreement, the PUD resolution be modified . to allow for a reduced setback of 27 feet for the senior housing structure and site.
