No Public Comment APPROVAL OF MINUTES – MARCH 6, 2007 MEETING 2. Commission Recommendation:. Minutes of the March 6, 2007 meeting were unanimously approved UNITED PROPERTIES SENIOR HOUSING PROPOSAL NEAR LANGTON LAKE PARK 3. Staff introduced this topic and indicated that this agenda item was for information purposes only and a recommendation was not expected tonight. The staff’s brief review included that: United Properties is proposing a senior housing development on approximately 6 acres of land at 3010 Cleveland Avenue on the West side of Langton Lake Park near the soccer field. There were 3 plans included in the commission packet. Two preliminary site plans were from United Properties and the third plan is the adopted Langton Lake Park Master Plan. Current access to the existing park parking lot is through the industrial warehouse parking lot on the south of the proposed development and existing park land. Staff also indicated that park related concerns included, but are certainly not limited to: The extreme sensitivity of any park land exchange! Meeting the goals of the adopted park master plan and ensuring future public access to the park. The importance of consideration of the existing adopted park master plan Trail connections to the park? Mr. Hall of United Properties presented the details of their two proposals and relayed information from recent neighborhood meetings; First proposal does not change access to the park and the development is contained within the property lines of current ownership (this plan is preferred by United Properties). Second proposal involves a parkland exchange and includes a new road to access the existing park parking lot (will discuss further if City is interested). A neighborhood meeting was held by United Properties for those that live on Brenner Avenue just bordering the site and Mr. Hall stated that neighbor comments included the dislike for access to the development and park off Brenner Ave and concerns about the impact a four story building might have on the homes and yards to the north of the development. Commission asked a number of questions related to the presented proposals. The primary discussions centered on ownership and who would be responsible for maintenance of the road as well as the importance of consideration of the adopted Langton Lake Master Plan.

Commissioner Willmus comments indicated that plan #1 and #2 do not conform to the adopted Langton Lake Park Master Plan and fail to satisfy the requirements of the Roseville Comprehensive Plan. Commission Recommendation: No formal recommendation. Discussion centered on the importance of the adherence to the adopted Langton Lake Park Master Plan.
