AttachmentD Metropolitan Systems. The proposed Wal-Mart development, although vehicle oriented (like most of Roseville and many other suburbs) is but one piece of the puzzle known as Twin Lakes, and that after more density and development comes to fruition, the City will have those conversations to determine whether existing service can be modified in such a manner fulfill this broad policy statement. Policy 3.2: Work with Ramsey County, MnDOT, and the Metropolitan Council to promote, coordinate, and facilitate regional improvements to the roadway system, as well as to communicate planned roadway improvements to the general public in advance of construction. The City will continue to work with the above governmental agencies to address future transportation needs not solely caused by Twin Lakes as a redevelopment project that is anticipated to add traffic back into the system. Policy 3.3: Ensure that adequate public utilities (e.g., sewer and water) will be available to serve future commercial and industrial development. Adequate public infrastructural services have been established for a large portion of the Sub- Area 1, Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area. However, more infrastructure improvements are anticipated to accommodate additional future developments, as identified in the Twin Lakes AUAR. Policy 3.4 Encourage and promote the development of advanced, state-of-the-art telecommunication and information technology infrastructure to and within Roseville. The Community Development Department finds that this policy only applies to individual developers to the extent that infrastructure is a component of their specific development. Policy 3.5: Work with service providers to ensure adequate supplies and reliable distribution systems for electricity and natural gas. The Community Development finds that this policy only applies to suppliers of natural gas and electricity. Goal 4: Encourage reinvestment, revitalization, and redevelopment of retail, office, and industrial properties to maintain a stable tax base, provide new living wage job opportunities, and increase the aesthetic appeal of the city. The Community Development Department finds that the Walmart project contributes to achieving this general or broad based goal. Policy 4.1: Encourage and facilitate infill commercial, industrial, and office development on vacant commercial parcels to ensure maximum efficiency of land use. The Community Development Department finds that Twin Lakes is, to some extent, a rather large infill development area, and that the proposed development of a Walmart at the corner of Cleveland Avenue and County Road C, will be designed and constructed utilizing the efficiencies regulated within the zoning ordinance. 12 Page22of27
