She supported the Comprehensive Plan amendment with option #2 - a good mix of uses that 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 because of 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. John Komula, representative ofSt. Paul Properties in area 10 and 12, noted viable industries in area should remain as hi-tech, which now includes 20 businesses with 800 employees; supported the option #2 hi-tech/hi flex uses. He submitted a letter to the Commission dated November 8, 2000. Amy Mammen, 2966 Mildred Drive, supported the amendment, either options #2 or #3, but opposed to big box retail. Sean Regan, Premier Bank, whose family owns area 7 (2 trucking related sites), and have an option on area 6, the Hand W Trucking site. He noted there is no land available for retail users in Roseville. He explained his property plans based upon the 1988 Twin Lakes plan which designated the site as "Retail". Office is a high risk planned use in today's market. He supports option #4 including retail uses; this process will have impacts on his property. Byerlys, the Tile Shop, the Fireside Shop and other retailers are adjacent to the site. His sites are currently fully occupied with truck and bus services. The retail users do not get TIF assistance. Retail should be one ofthe options. Retail has become a high quality finish. Retail wages can be much higher than normally thought of by the public. He is concerned ultimately about the zoning on this site. The city needs to understand each property owner's concerns so that all could collaborate. He welcomes further discussions. There being no further public comment offered, Chair Klausing closed the hearing.
