Another point of contention has been the number of employees that will be <br />involved in this garden. I would point to the roster of the planning committee <br />(RCA attach. p. 78) showing 19 members of the church. If you add that to the 8 <br />plots reserved just for church members (Kimberly Spears letter, RCA attach. p. <br />26), I think we have clearly met the employee requirements for "moderate impact <br />quasi public use," which - again - requires a CUP. <br />Obviously, each side tries to make their argument appear right. We have <br />the church describing a garden that will rival those of Versailles3 and the <br />neighbors who correctly feel it will look closer to the eyesore the City had years <br />ago on Larpenteur between Dale and Rice. Who is right? I say: a picture is worth <br />a thousand words. The picture below is of the Falcon Heights Community Garden. <br />It is definitely not like the gardens of Versailles (or for that matter the Gardens at <br />Hidcote Manor'). But it does share one thing in common with Roseville's Oasis <br />garden (pictured above), and that is: hardly anyone can see it. There is a reason <br />you do not find community gardens on busy streets. It's because they do make a <br />statement and they do significantly impact the surrounding neighborhood. <br />Apparently, the City of Roseville agrees whole heartedly with this because of its <br />decision to remotely locate the Oasis Park Community Garden years ago. <br />,�:: � �t`� . `� �� �>x _..,.. . �y . i'.F�-t'9!�' <br />i��"� ��,_ .- , m � rt± � i� <br />+�. <br />�. ;�i� � ��Y,� . �' <br />` �+�r��.. :^� � - `a - _ ..
