<br />I just wanted to put this thought out there. After receiving e-mails, regarding this project
<br />and having more difficulty that I should have had locating the files,., I noted that the open
<br />hous,e/nei hborhood meeting has not been listed in the "history" or posted or attended or
<br />apparently offered to members, of the community.
<br />That said, there is clearly a reasonable concern regarding traffic on los,ephine Road and
<br />Fern wood, but there is also a concern on the part of residents, who do not wish to have a
<br />street in their back yard (athouh the portion that is not open now is only about 50 feet
<br />My point here is that this traffic issue should be discussed at the neighborhood meeting and
<br />staff should take it upon thems,elves, to work cooperatively with res,idents, on both sides, of
<br />this issue to try to seek an acceptable compromis,e or various, acceptable options, before
<br />allowing this project to be reviewed in a public hearing setting I believe that it is this
<br />Change of proces,s, and culture in our city overnment that would avoid the situation where
<br />neighbors, are pitted against each other or against the city government in a public forum. If
<br />positions, have not been solidified that point, they certainly will be during the proces,s,.
<br />I hope that Patrick and Duane will consider meeting with the residents, involved to work on a
<br />compromis,e or options, that will be acceptable to all parties,. I know that it is not always,
<br />possible to get people to agree, but it certainly generates, more good will to try to
<br />facilitate a compromis,e through personal, round table discussion, than to turn your back on
<br />the issue and let the dis,putants, "duke it out" in public or for the city to step in with some
<br />solution of its own without the appearance of having listened to resident concerns,. It also
<br />represents, in my opinion, what a good overnment should be doing.
<br />As a final note, I have suggested to Duane that perhaps, one option to consider would be a
<br />'lone way" street at this time. This would reduce the traffic on a 11 completed C -211 but would
<br />at least allow some of the internal traffic from this new development to use an alternate
<br />route. I don't think this is a much used option here in Roseville, but I have seen it used
<br />elsewhere to handle these type of situations,., and it has appeared to be s,ucces,s,ful.
<br />Thanks, for consideration of this 11 policy 11 s,ug�g�es,tion.
<br />Tammy
