Mayor <br />Klausing recognized the difficulty of the City Council in making these <br />land use decisions and balancing the competing rights, interesfs and <br />expectations of all parties. Mayor Klausing opined that, overall, the <br />project was a good plan, even though he preferred the plan with town <br />homes; however, he recognized the park access issues, age-related <br />housing needs, and need for fluidity for uses. Mayor Klausing noted <br />that he usually deferred to the recommendation of the Planning Com- <br />mission; however, opined that he didn't find their raiionale in this case <br />as persuasive as the evidence presented. <br />22 Councilmember Roe spoke in support of the motion, opining that <br />23 none of the proposals were perfect for all parties; and noted that he <br />24 had watched the Planning Commission discussion and heaxd their <br />25 considerations. Councilmember Roe noted that, while he had some <br />26 questions about the shadow issues, there were other multi-story units <br />27 in Roseville near r�sidential neighborhoods as well, and quesiioned <br />28 how the City could begin defining shadow issues. Councilmember <br />29 Roe further op�ned that he wasn't convinced that a discretionary EAW <br />30 was required in this instance. <br />31 <br />32 City Attorney Squires suggested that the motion to approve the Pre- <br />33 liminary Plat be made contingent upon successful approval of the re- <br />34 zoning. <br />35 Roll Call {as amended) <br />36 Ayes: Kough; Roe and Klausing. <br />37 Nays: Pust; Ihlan. <br />38 Motion carried. <br />39 <br />
