Tim Himmer of Rottlund Homes was present. Staff emphasized that this is a new proposal and one that has not yet been presented to the City Council. The Commission packet included details and architectural drawings of the proposal. The previous proposal included 80 acres and was referred to as Twin Lakes Development Phase 1. The new proposal is 58 acres and is being referred to as Twin Lakes West. The new proposal adds open space around Langton Lake Park and situates the Twin Lakes Parkway further away from the park. Twin Lakes Parkway has been situated per City Public Works Department official mapping. The road does nip the southeast corner of the park. The Commission made a recommendation to the City Council regarding park dedication in January 2006. The new plan and the previous recommendation were discussed. Overall the Commission felt that this new rendition is much closer to the original recommendation that allowed an additional buffer between the Twin Lakes Parkway and Langton Lake Park. Discussion included: ponding, pathway connection, roadway design, etc. There was further discussion on the possibility of including a parking lot on the south end of the park but after much discussion the overall feeling was that it was suggested the park was not necessarily a destination park and the neighborhood feel should be maintained. The Commission reemphasized the desire for the Park to remain as natural as possible. Commission Recommendation: Motion by Ristow, second by Kamrath to support the new concept plan as presented. Motion passed unanimously. 4.ART MUELLER PARK DEDICATION REVIEW Staff reviewed the details of the Art Mueller subdivision proposal. The parcel is 1.9 acres with one house. The proposal is to subdivide the property, move the existing house within the 1.9 acres and add 3 additional homes. It seems that Roseville has been experiencing an increase in these types of projects in the past couple of years. Discussion included the lack of public parkland in this area making the land acceptance tempting but the Commission felt the parcel was so small and impractical to consider. This area is located in planning district #11 and there is no specific parcels identified for acquisition. The Parks and Recreation SystemPlan states that changing circumstances in this area may dictate future land acquisition.
