The program <br />provided grants for 100% of the design fees. There were three grants totaling <br />$14,000 provided to the homeowners. <br /> <br />5.3 In 1999, with funding from the Roseville Housing Fund, three homes have been <br />funded. The program provided ~ of the design costs up to a maximum of $6,000 <br />per applicant from the Roseville Housing Fund. One home, 2020 County Road <br />B, is complete; one home, 424 Glenwood, is under construction and the final <br />home is in the final design phase. These homes will be previewed as part of the <br />Metropolitan Remodelers Showcase. <br /> <br />5.4 Along with 14 other suburban cities, Roseville participated in the publication of <br />a remodeling book, "Cape Cods and Ramblers", written specifically for the first <br />ring suburban communities.

Three corners, <br />Hamline/B, Lexington/B and Lexington/Roselawn, were selected for further <br />study. <br /> <br />6.3 In June 1997, a neighborhood design event with professional designers, <br />architects, planners was held to assist in creating a long term vision with a mix <br />of compatible commercial uses and housing. The design event encouraged the <br />emphasis of human scale design and connection at the selected intersection. <br /> <br />6.4 Concurrently staff worked with consultants to identify methods of public <br />investment in infrastructure and land use that demonstrate confidence in the <br />future of the neighborhood.
