Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 22,2013 Page 11 Mr. Regan, based on his personal experience and noting his office location at the Premier Bank building in Roseville, advised that he did not find existing condi- tions problematic; opining that he found traffic volumes with his frequent use of those roadways acceptable. Mr. Regan noted that he did not have projections on future impacts, referring that to a future traffic study to determine. However, Mr. Regan opined that existing conditions today were not that bad. Regarding connectivity, Councilmember McGehee noted her propensity for a more flexible plan with Planned Unit Developments (PUD's) providing that con- nectivity without being so highly regulated. Councilmember McGehee ques- tioned Mr. Regan on his perception, as well as opinions from other developers present tonight, on the use of PUD's for large acreage sites. Mr. Regan opined that connectivity was a great amenity, noting the recent request of Semantic for crosswalks for its employees to access Langton Lake; and sug- gesting that future developments may wish similar amenities. Mr. Regan opined that whether or not a PUD format would provide allow for more flexibility on site was difficult to answer,but may be a good way to accomplish that. However, Mr. Regan opined that more details would need to be known to determine how benefi- cial PUD's would be to the overall overlay district. In response to Councilmember Laliberte regarding what types of development are most prevalent now, Mr. Regan again noted that planners didn't drive develop- ment, but were only reactive to demand and needed to strike when the time was right. Given the nature of Roseville as a well-known regional shopping area, Mr. Regan opined that there would always be the demand for some additional retail in Roseville, whether the City Council or community wanted to hear that or not. Mr. Regan opined that there could be some interest for office uses also, but clarified that there were already a lot of available spaces out there. Mr. Regan further opined that there wouldn't be any bulk industrial development, but could be some office/showroom, even though there was also a lot of that available already. While there were quite a number of medical/office buildings already in Roseville, Mr. Regan anticipated that there may be more interest, if it was segmented with retail or eating or service based businesses, always in demand. Mr. Regan opined that there may also be interest in market rate or low income senior housing in the right places. Mark Zwebber, 1650 Terrace Drive (Trucking Building) As an owner of the property for the last ten (10) years, and past due diligence be- fore that purchase when City staff had been adamant that the property was going to be taken by Eminent Domain, Mr. Zwebber, advised that he was attending to- night to learn. While he continued to wait for something to happen on the east end of Twin lakes, Mr. Zwebber noted that his interest was in finding out what was going on, as it continued to be.
