The <br />continued redevelopnlent of this area and the reinvestment that it will represent is vitally <br />important to Roseville's future. FrOlu my experience with nlany, nlany similar processes I <br />know that a great deal of good can come from this effort. I also know that there are <br />several key aspects of the process that have to be right, or the potential benefits will be <br />lost. <br /> <br />I regret that a prior conlnlitnlent keeps nle from attending the city council nleeting this <br />evening. The design of this process, the selection of the participants, the roles and <br />responsibilities of the participants, the council's expectations, desired outcomes, and the <br />relationship between this process and the regular planning and development review and <br />approval process are all critically important pieces. Dennis Welsch, Michael Noonan and <br />I have met and discussed this at one meeting and have offered SOlue recommendations for <br />the council's consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to provide a more detailed <br />recommendation for the council's review and approval. <br /> <br />The following are a series of recol11luendations that I would offer to guide the refineluent <br />of this process: <br /> <br />1. The Twin Lakes Advisory Panel process does not replace or supersede the <br />normal, established planning and development review and approval process. It is <br />intended to augment it and assist the development team in the preparation of a <br />better and more informed master plan. <br />2. This process does not replace the role of the Planning Commission, Parks <br />Commission, or any other established board or conlnlission. <br />3. The city council is not delegating its decision-making responsibilities, or authority <br />to the Panel. <br />4. It is not presumed that the Advisory Panel will reach consensus on all issues. <br />Rather, every opinion will be provided to the development team and recorded for <br /> <br />From the Desk of.... <br />John W.
