<br />Topic: asphalt plant; re-zoning (Monday's CC meeting)
<br />Date: 03:2� UTC
<br />There are two items on the City Council Agenda for Monday,
<br />July 26, 2010 that warrant particular attention. (See the
<br />city website for the exact time.)
<br />At this meeting, the Council will discuss (1) rezoning of
<br />the industrial area along the Gross National Golf Course
<br />(site of the proposed asphalt plant) into high density
<br />housing and ball fields, and (2) residential zoning for
<br />large lots.
<br />(1) This proposed rezoning of this property from industrial
<br />to high density housing would benefit by significantly in-
<br />creasing our tax base, and allow the City of Roseville to
<br />exceed in one step the Metropolitan Council's request for
<br />medium and high density housing, to be realized by 2020.
<br />The ball fields recommended by the recent Parks and Recrea-
<br />tion Master Planning report would a11ow for adequate park-
<br />ing, and would fit well into the proposed housing mix.
<br />There are presently a few large lots in Roseville which
<br />might conceivably be subdivided. For the most part, these
<br />lots are located in areas that are surrounded by freeways
<br />lor intensively commercialized developments. Their size and
<br />,their cover of mature trees protect the residential areas
<br />'from excessive noise and pollution. Surveys for Roseville
<br />2025 and the Comprehensive Plan both disclosed residents
<br />who were pleased with their neighborhoods, the diversity of
<br />lot sizes and variety of housing stock.
<br />Aside from one property (an abandoned school) that could be
<br />rezoned from institutional to residential, and the rezoning
<br />of those properties that have already been rebuilt, so that
<br />they conform with their new purpose, it would seem best to
<br />leave our residential zoning as it presently stands, as it
<br />already well conforms to the present Comprehensive Plan.
<br />Please come to Monday's meeting, and add your voice to the
<br />discussion.
