INTRODUCTIONS/ROLL CALL/PUBLIC COMMENT None 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES —SEPTEMBER 2, 2008 MEETING Commission Recommendation: Minutes for the September 2, 2008 meeting were approved unanimously. 3. UNITED PROPERTIES ASSISTED LIVING PROPOSAL Willmus excused himself from the presentation and discussion. Brokke briefed the Commission on a proposed additional development adjacent to the previously discussed Applewood Pointe development at Langton Lake. The second development will include 93 Assisted Living units. In the past United Properties has questioned the park dedication policy as it relates to Assisted Living developments. United Properties believes assisted living residents will not be using park facilities and will have minimal impact on the park. Commission Discussion followed. Commissioners around the table voiced an opinion on the assumption that because residents are residing in an assisted living facility they will not use the park — Commissioners believe this to be an incorrect assumption. Assisted Living Residents and their guests do use the park facilities and value proximity to parks. Commissioners voiced their opinion that there is no past precedence for special consideration in regards to park dedication for multi unit housing structures. Commissioners are also concerned that any deviation from the current park dedication policy would set a dangerous precedence. Commissioners felt there is no reason to deviate from the policy recommended park dedication for this development. Commissioner Stark asked if there is any benefit to considering land dedication for this project. i. Brokke mentioned that a trail around the wet land is a possibility. Commission Recommendation: Motion by Ristow recommending accepting cash in lieu of land for the Assisted Living development at Applewood Pointe near Langton Lake Park. Second by Hiber. Discussion followed focusing on whether there should be consideration made toward the dedication of land in order to provide a connecting trail. Ristow withdrew his original motion. Motion made by Pederson to table the recommendation of park dedication, as long as it does not delay the process, so that staff can provide the Commission more information on the land option. Second by Brodt Lenz. Motion passed unanimously. 4. CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON MASTER PLAN RFP Brokke presented the updated RFP which incorporated most of the Commissioner comments. Commissioners recognized that the Master Plan discussion is the result of the Imagine Roseville 2025 findings and the current significant interest by the community in maintaining the park and recreation system. The Commission talked of the need to "remaster plan" the system — it is important to bring in today's community members to add to the discussion. Commissioners also voiced their feelings on while the actual planning process is important, the ability to implement the plan is essential. Implementation resources will be needed.
