Arona Hamfine Neighborhood Master Plan <br /> Appendix A-9 <br /> Excerpt from City of Roseville planning Commission Draft Minutes <br /> March 6.2002 meeting <br /> Planning File 3243: A Request by the City of Roseville to consider a Comprehensive <br /> Plan Amendment to add the ArOria/Harilllrie Neighborhood Master Plan and a General <br /> Concept Plan (PUD) for the Arona property owned by the City of Roseville. <br /> Chairman Troy Duncan opened the hearing and requested Community Development <br /> Director Dennis Welsch and Economic Development Director Cathy Bennett to provide a <br /> summary of the project report dated March 6,2002. <br /> Dennis Welsch provided the historical background for the neighborhood. <br /> Cathy Bennett discussed the planning principles for the neighborhood and reviewed the <br /> site plans. <br /> Dennis Welsch explained the process for development. Cathy Bennett illustrated <br /> examples of housing types. <br /> Member Olson asked for the details of the open space (approximately ten acres in three <br /> phases). Could it be more open to the public? <br /> Member Mulder asked if the park space is needed and what would be allowed as <br /> improvements? <br /> Lloyd Dewe, 2922 Simpson, asked if the Park Commission could trade park space <br /> elsewhere. The Coventry site does not have park space and this should be retained for <br /> the children in the neighborhood. <br /> Tim Higgins, 1498 County Road G2, asked if NCR had access from Arona; how can the <br /> City create more access? <br /> Member Wilke explained that the traffic is safer entering County Road C at Hamline or at <br /> the frontage road. Traffic past Mr. Higgins house will increase. <br /> Mike Schneider, 1490 Centennial, said the history of the site and the green space is not <br /> included in the report. The Ralph Reeder site has served the neighborhood as a green <br /> space since 1965. The site will shrink extensively. No green space has been allocated for <br /> any housing. <br /> Member Wilke noted that many parks are one mile or more from any parks. <br /> Member Traynor asked Mr. Schneider what was his choice? Mixed use is acceptable. <br /> None of the land is described as publicly available and there is concern that enough park <br /> space is retained. There are up to six soccer fields on the site. <br /> Appendix A-9 Page 1 of 3 <br />
