<br />Roseville should adopt the CAG recommendation of language in B-6 as a guide in <br />all zoning decisions. <br /> <br />Roseville should engage in discussion of policies to better define the <br />recommendations of Section D, green building and tree preservation, of the CAG <br />report. <br /> <br />Roseville staff and Counsel should review the fee structure for PUDs. <br /> <br />One of the primary concerns is for equity for all property owners-what is fair for one <br />owner is fair for all owners. Ones home is typically the single most valuable investment <br />anyone has. When one purchases a home, they purchase a neighborhood, its character, <br />ambiance, and green space. To allow any change to lot size must be undertake with <br />extreme caution. What may "improve" one person's finances through a "lot split" may <br />seriously damage the property value of another. This policy speaks toward allowing no <br />lot splits or allowing only those that are based on a sliding scale method where all lot <br />division is treated equally based on the average size of the surrounding lots within a 350 <br />or 500 foot radius. <br /> <br />On behalf of those that signed the Alternative Recommendations we thank you for this <br />opportunity to address these important issues. We look forward to more discussion as the <br />city works toward a policy that provides adequate protection of neighborhood character <br />and green space and provides policies for residential lot splits that protect residents. We <br />also look forward to working to establish safeguards for our residential neighborhoods <br />that protect against developer-driven lot recombination and redevelopment. We like <br />Roseville and believe that our city currently offers an excellent diversity of housing stock <br />and a wonderful neighborhood balance of housing and green space. We all know change <br />is necessary, but it is the nature and outcome of the change that must be planned for and <br />directed. It can only be done with careful and thorough planning-and maximum citizen <br />input. It is, after all, the residents who should define the future of their city. <br /> <br />5 <br />
