Thomas Paschke From: dan.roe @comcast.net Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 3:40 PM To: Thomas Paschke Subject: Re: Regulating Plan Thomas, I am okay with "will" versus "may." How about this wording, to be more concise: On Flexible Frontage sites located at or near pedestrian corridors or roadway intersections, where building placement is not to be in the build-to area, the City will require additional public amenities or enhancements including, but not limited to, seating areas, fountains or other water features, art, or other items, to be placed in the build-to area, as approved by the Community Development Department. Dan Roe Roseville Mayor Phone 651-487-9654 Email dan.roe( ci.roseville.mn.us From: "Thomas Paschke" <thomas.paschkeci.roseville.mn.us> To: "Dan Roe" <dan.roefa?_comcast.net> Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 3:10:36 PM Subject: Regulating Plan Dan; I have had a chance to think about your proposed text amendment further and slightly contrary to my initial email,I have a few comments I would like to share with you: First the word "may" should be changed to will, must or shall. The Planning Division does not want to be in the position of randomly determining whether a site provides additional amenities or not. Next, I understand what you are driving at,but there are some parcels that requiring the amenities you list does not make good sense. I think limiting to corner parcels or those parcels adjacent to the comdor/connections has merit and are locations that having additional public amenities such and benches,waste receptacles, a fountain or other work. But there are some locations, such as the site directly north of Twin Lakes Corporate Center IV along Cleveland Avenue that don't work. I also think more thought should be given to whether we want all of the potential"public" amenities. My thought to date would be ..... On Flexible Frontage sites where building placement is not in the build- to area, the City will require additional public amenities/enhancements including, but not limited to, seating areas, fountains or other water features, art, or other items, to be placed in the build-to area and specific to parcels at or near pedestrian corridors/connections and/or parcels at or near corners, as approved by the Community Development Department.
