Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 21,2012 Page 29 remaining. As requested in the written comments of SWARN, Mr. Grefenberg asked the City Council to direct the Planning Division to hold an Open House if and when Wal-Mart development plans evolve to provide answers to those citi- zen questions. Mr. Grefenberg expressed his disillusionment that financial as- pects of the Development Agreement had not been provided to the public until late this afternoon, not allowing any review or informed reaction by the public. Mr. Grefenberg asked that the City Council hold off on approving the Devel- opment Agreement to allow due process for the public, given the significant im- pact this proposal will have on the community. Megan Dushin (SWARN) Ms. Dushin suggested additional conditions for the City to apply to this devel- opment, such as limiting operating hours and reducing the amount of public subsidy to this developer. Gary Grefenberg (SWARN) Mr. Grefenberg questioned, if tax increment financing (TIF) funds were allocat- ed to pay off costs, who paid for additional costs to the City, including police protection, and how this represented a public purpose. Janet Olson,418 Glenwood Avenue Given the history of concern in this area of Roseville, Ms. Olson questioned why the City didn't make more of an effort to provide notice to citizens about this development. Ms. Olson opined that the neighborhood had poured their heart and soul into making this a positive area of the community; and opined that the City had an obligation to its own citizens. Ms. Olson also questioned how the City could designate this development as "community" rather than "re- gional" business, based on her interpretation of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map. Jan Bielke,2070 N Cleveland (1 mile north of proposed Wal-Mart) Ms. Bielke stated that she was appalled at how this whole thing has been han- dled. Ms. Bielke referenced past development proposals directly across from her home that she and her neighbors had fought very hard to oppose. However, Ms. Bielke opined that at least the neighborhood had been adequately noticed at that time to allow their voices to be heard. Ms. Bielke opined that it was terrible that citizens were not made more aware of this proposed development; and while not intending offense to Wal-Mart since it was not a store that she fre- quented based on her perception of their treatment and pay for their employees, she expressed her disappointment to the City Council and asked that they recon- sider this proposal. Ms. Bielke opined that there was a lot of angst among citi- zens once they become aware of the proposal. Tim Callaghan
