Background on Cornerstone Program: <br /> The Cornerstone Revitalization Program, partially funded by a Metropolitan Livable <br /> Communities Demonstration Grant, has five main objectives in the revitalization of land <br /> areas surrounding major intersections in Roseville; <br /> 1. provide opportunities for mixes of new and renovated uses at critical corners thereby <br /> improving property values, esthetics, and the "buffer" to the existing residential <br /> neighborhoods <br /> 2. encourage more human scale development consistent with suburban design ideals <br /> 3. encourage more pedestrian and transit friendly design <br /> 4. reconnect the neighborhoods to existing and new retail or office, and neighborhood <br /> service areas through better sidewalks and pathways <br /> 5, rebuild the adjacent public infrastructure such as streets, sidewalks, lighting and <br /> landscaping. <br /> These comers are the visible gateways to our residential areas. A key goal of the <br /> Cornerstone Program is to involve the neighborhood in the eventual building design <br /> process. The Cornerstone Program philosophy is an attempt to facilitate improvement in <br /> property before the downward cycle of neglect sets in. The City acts as the catalyst in <br /> the process of reinvestment and development at the identified Cornerstone intersections. <br /> In 1997 a neighborhood design(design charette) event was held for the intersections of <br /> Hamline & County Road B, Lexington and Roselawn and Lexington and County Road B. <br /> The Cornerstone neighborhood design event identified principles and concept uses for <br /> these primary neighborhood earners in thy-City of Roseville. Guidelines were written by <br /> the staff to assist developers. It was stressed that streetscapes and a pedestrian <br /> environment should be included at all corners. <br /> 3 <br />
