Roseville Planning Commission Application <br />Miriam E. Stone <br />REASONS FOR WANTING To SERVE ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION <br />I am committed to seeing public bodies achieve excellence in service. Citizens expect <br />and deserve fresh innovative solutions to the challenges facing their communities. They <br />also deserve dedication to making the most of the opportunities presented to their <br />cod' munitle .s. <br />That said, a planning commission has the challenge of balancing competing land use <br />interests and the opportunity to put into motion the vision and plan of its community. <br />These two broad features of a planning commission are what drag me to seep a position <br />on Roseville's planning Commission. <br />My legislative and legal experience has been focused on use, development, <br />redevelopment, environmental regulatory concerns, public Financing (special <br />assessments, bonds, utilities} and fees), municipal governance, and long range planning. <br />This experience is particularly appropriate for application to the various- tasks assigned to <br />a planning commission <br />I grant to assist Roseville in meeting the planning needs facing its residents, developers, <br />property owners and businesses. I believe I can bring to the Planning Commission a <br />perspective that is beyond the traditional regulatory box, while respecting the strengths of <br />an established first -tier suburb. <br />MY VIEW OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ROLE <br />The planning Commission will have a tremendous amount of responsibility in preparing <br />the cities comprehensive planning in light of the 2030 Blueprint. Additionally, routine <br />events such as acting on variances or issuing conditional use permits need to be taken <br />seriously as they involve the property rights of the owner and the physical character of <br />our community. The planning Commission has a duty to guide the development and <br />redevelopment of a Roseville, providing zoning recommendations and suggestions for <br />official actions to be taken to implement plans} and reporting to various decision - making <br />bodies regarding the status of our community. <br />Those activities involve, but are not limited to, recommendations involving: <br />. Comprehensive planning <br />a. land use classification <br />b. transportation systems <br />c. housing needs <br />d. sanitary sewer, storm sewer and drinking water infrastructure needs <br />-s <br />2 <br />
