<br />opportunity leads and design options. They will guide the development of <br />the "City Center" master plan. <br /> <br />2. Authorize staff to re-institute the planning process for the redevelopment <br />of the Arona (Activity Center) site. This part of the project will address <br />not only the needs for housing and the refurbishing and revitalization of <br />the Arona neighborhood creating increased value in this portion of the <br />city, it will also serve as a financial resource for future phases of "City <br />Center" . <br /> <br />In October, the Task Force discussed "What does Roseville City Center mean to you?". <br /> <br />Craig Klausing stated that getting people together was important as he grew up, <br />such as the corner store. It should be a place where children and adults are <br />attracted to a mix of activities. It creates a place where people want to go -- "a <br />place to go to", <br /> <br />Dick Bates said he enjoyed living above a town and people watching and walking <br />in the community; proximity to uses is important. <br /> <br />Lois Sinn Lindquist said she thinks not of a "city" but of town, village, green <br />spaces, public art, public/private investments, living environment; an area proud <br />to visit (visibility); the right kind of walking environment with a sense of <br />cleanliness, charm and safeness; a place of people comfort. <br /> <br />Jan Vanderwall said city center is year-round; it is not a traffic impedance; <br />community needs to get to it and through it. <br /> <br />Perri Hettler said she wants to focus on those things that should be preserved <br />(Central Park); no six story buildings; no large hotels; build on to City Hall; year- <br />round theatre, small scale unique retail (50th and France). <br /> <br />Ann Hennes said city center should be a tool to keep all of our homes <br />appreciating in value. Buildings need to be upgraded (small retail, two stories, <br />umbrellas, water fountains). Think what will be here in the long-range future <br />(20 I O?). <br /> <br />Don Anderson said the infrastructure Committee recommended creating city <br />identity through the park and parkway systems. The Oval can be "built on". <br />There is need for affordable senior housing. Gilman Village has created small <br />shop concepts; a mix of uses. <br /> <br />Tom Johnson said accessibility is important. Congregating on this area along C <br />and Lexington is important. Accessibility along both is a key. How can we get <br />from city hall to the park. <br /> <br />6 <br />
