Roseville City Council Minutes of 1/29/07 Pg 24 of 38 Mr. LeTendre opined that this area had contributed to increased density with other redevelopments in the near vicinity. Mr. LeTendre questioned the City's legal position if they were to deny this application due to the proposed cul-de-sac and long tenn maintenance costs; and sought clarification that be- cause the application was submitted prior to the moratorium being in place, it was excluded. City Attorney Anderson advised that the moratorium didn't govern, as it wasn't effective until January 30, 2007, the date of publication. Mr. Ander- son further addressed cul-de-sacs and his interpretation of City Code. Mr. Stark addressed the development of a Preliminary Plat and denials based on City Council considerations related to health, safety, general welfare and convenience of the City. Mr. Stark further addressed the public notification for the Public Hearing at the Planning Commission level with mailed and published notice; with additional City Council testimony taken, as per cur- rent policy, at City Council discretion, but not publicly noticed. Mr. Stark further noted that staff didn't take an advocacy position; but looked to the technical merits to provide recommendation to the City Council allowing them to make their policy decisions. Darrell LeBarron, 2101 W County Road B Mr. LeBarron personally endorsed the project, and noted that - along with a number of other neighbors of Mr. Mueller - had chosen not to sign, if ap- proached, as they were supportive ofMr. Mueller's proposed development plan. Mr. LeBarron provided a brief history of the original development in the area by Mr. Mueller's father in the 1940' s and noted that some neighbors currently in opposition to the project were currently living on those subdi- vided properties. Mr. LeBarron disputed allegations that 98% of the neig- hbors were against the project. Previous neighborhood support had been provided, and confirmed by staff, of property owners at 2101 W County Road B; 2121 W County Road B; 2192 Acorn Road; 2220 Acorn Road; and 2237 Cleveland Avenue. Vivian Romalingam, 2182 Acorn Road Ms. Romalingam questioned the legality ofthe City Council considering this application one day before the moratorium went into effect.
