retail uses in area because of existing retail- no big box retail). Preserve quality of life. Member Mulder asked ifshe preferred existing hi-tech/jlex west of the lake, similar to Centre Pointe. Member Wilke asked about the traffic demand in the area. Member Mulder asked about vehicles and air quality. Chair Klausing asked how deregulation and redevelopment will affect trucking in the future. Steve Miller, Old Dominian Freight, said trucking does want to remain. Deregulation had little to do with trucking - it was the economics in the industry. The 1980 deregulation added trucking - there is a need for more terminals. New property for terminals is too far out from center city for better "stem-time". Forced relocation would greatly increase cost of trucking. Current terminal was built in 1963. The value of the land tends to make moving attractive. Bringing in 8000 new vehicles will be a big impact compared to existing trucking. Pat Johnson, 2986 Mildred Drive, described Langton Lake park and shoreland zoning. Warehouses were built in 1974, the developers along the west and south sides provided a dedication of 1 00 feet. She noted that the Plan was adopted because the truckers would sell at higher prices, then relocate further north. As market develops, Roseville had a plan in place to address future land uses. In 1988, the development plan was passed and has slowly moved to completion since that date. She supported the Comprehensive Plan amendment with option #2 - a good mix of uses and would serve the neighborhood well. Member Mulder asked if other uses should be of concern. Ms. Johnson expressed concern about the hospital but traffic will always be there. Housing has been in the plan in the past and should be considered again. Big box retail is very difficult to support Ms. Johnson noted the City has a responsibility to continue redevelopment to the new businesses that have located there since 1990. She said health club or services and fitness is complementary to the trail, park and neighborhood. Don Tschida, 1888 County Road C-2, supports concept of business park and low density (town homes), owner-occupied housing. He prefers option #2. The medical facility does not benefit the city; employees will not use Roseville housing. High density housing is not complementary to the park. Carol Erickson, 2925 Mildred Drive, supported option #2 and noted that the buildings in the area are deteriorating. The new buildings are fine. Traffic is a problem, but is something we will live with. PF3232 - RCD(112000) Page 3 of 5
