Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes • December 16, 1997 Page 2 1 Minnesota. Ms. Mathern's rezoning petition is requesting that this parcel be rezoned to an R- 2 4 zoning designation from a Light Industrial zoning designation so that it is consistent with 3 the multi-family zoning designation of the adjacent parcel they purchased in Roseville. 4 Mendota Homes is proposing to construct a senior apartment complex on the Roseville side 5 and use the smaller St. Anthony parcel as parking and green space. Mendota Homes will be 6 going before the Roseville Planning Commission regarding this project the second week in 7 December. Ms. Mathern also informed Staff that she is planning a neighborhood meeting 8 with several residents from St. Anthony and Roseville that live in the area to discuss the 9 project. 10 Staff also contacted the City Attorney about the need to rezone this parcel because it was 11 planned to be used as a parking lot and green space. Mr. Soth indicated that it is required to 12 be rezoned because the City's parking ordinance relating to an R-4 multi-family zoning 13 designation is different from those that pertain to Light Industrial use. He also indicated that 14 rezoning the parcel will provide that the deeds to both parcels are consistent. 15 John Mathern, Mendota Homes, reported this project includes two parcels of land. One parcel 16 contains 3.3 acres and is located at County Road C-2 and State Highway 8 in the City of 6 Roseville. The second parcel contains approximately 1.5 acres and is located at 3261 Old Highway 8. This parcel was owned with the Medtronic building and was used for overflow 19 parking. It is covered with asphalt. The petitioner stated he became interested in the property 20 at 3261 Old Highway 8 when he discovered that the fust parcel contained a wetland area. 21 Mr. Mathern explained that the proposal will include a 30 unit condominium in the City of 22 Roseville and a 30 unit senior rental building on the parcel located in the City of St. Anthony 23 and Roseville. The property located in St. Anthony will be used as parking. The proposal 24 will reduce the amount of asphalt and remove a cyclone fence on the property. 25 Mr. Mathern stated the building on the site will contain 3 one-bedroom units and 27 two- 26 bedroom units. There will be underground parking for 30 vehicles, as well as parking 27 available in the front of the building. The original proposed parking lot included 47 parking 28 spaces and two entrances. This has been reduced to 30 parking spaces and one entrance to 29 increase the amount of green space around the parking area. Mr. Mathern explained that most 30 of the residents are over 55 years old and a great deal of parking is not required. 31 Mr. Mathern displayed an elevation of the proposed senior rental building. The proposed 32 building is a three-story brick and siding-clad structure. 33 Mr. Mathern displayed a landscape plan which included landscaping in front of and along the 34 side of the building. The run-off on the site will flow to the wetland and will be treated and 6 will discharge into a storm sewer. He noted he has been working with the Rice Creek Watershed District in regard to drainage on the site.
