5. Public Comments: Delores Stewart, Park View Condominiums, explained that there was confusion over the planning process, the mailings, and the language in the notices. RoseviIle should be a homey area with convenience, family area. Bill Lanski. DeIlwood Avenue. wants small town atmosphere and keep Howard Johnson Park as a small play area. The City does not need an indoor facility or the added parking. He prefers the open area; not more buildings and open space. Use the Central Park ball fields as a building site. Include walkways and upgrade the improvements already in the park. Mike Hermes, 2796 Galtier, noted that Roseville's identity has not changed. Unkept yards and lawns keeps property values down. A new building will increase property values. Eugene Bohnamen, Lexington Avenue, expressed concern about his house and the impact on it. He explained that his property would be placed in limbo with a new City Center District. There is noise and traffic from Lexington Avenue already. Put the City Center in Centre Pointe. Leave me/my property alone. Joe Matchinowski, 2690 Oxford, stated that the City Center District should only be on land not already used. Use Central Park ball fields for building. Use empty lots on Woodhill. Use land that belongs to Roseville. Al Sands, 2612 AIdine N. said that Central Park should be included. Why wasn't it included. Why was land north of Wood hill included (VFW, Veterans Park, Shopping Strip)? Why look out 40 years; why not 5 to 10 years? Demonstrate the need for new land before buying additional property. Take out land north of W oodhill. Consider the Arona site. George Warner, Huron Street, noted there was no connection between City Center and Howard Johnson, which should be left as is. In the City Center District. the coordination and delivery of city I government services is the only important use. There is too much traffic, disperse the uses. Keep the library where it is. Do not cramp the site with too much recreation. Use Lexington and B site as a recreation site. Pat Sajak, Parkview Terrace. said she prefers open space. Central Park does connect neighborhoods and should be protected as open space. Dick Houck, 1133 Roselawn. supports all development. Roseville belongs to all people. Does the plan represent the needs of all of Roseville? He opposes spending public money without a referendum. When the plan is complete, the Task Force must come to the people with a plan for approval (referendum). The Oval is an example of a project without a referendum. This was a "railroad job".
