Our current 2001 Compo Plan (Section 2, page 19 and 24) estimates approximately 15,100 existing households, expanding to 16,800 households by 2020. Because 98% of the community is built out, the remaining new units will be mostly higher density units built on sites either redeveloped or vacant and currently designated for High Density 10 to 36 units per acre. To date the higher density units have been most senior independent and dependent care, as well as a few very dense town home projects. Not many of the new units are occupied by young families with kids, Our housing plan will be re- evaluated during 2002, with more specifics by year end, and the 35-W Coalition Build Out Plan will hopefully be done by then as well. 2) Areas of redevelopment potential~ Roseville does expect to see housing redevelopment in a number of areas, the two with the most potential are the Arona Hamline Neighborhood with a range of 240 to 400 new homes; and the Twin Lakes redevelopment around Langton Lake, which could have a total of 500 to 600 new town home and/or multi-family homes. The land is generally in need of clean up and subject to surface water ponding requirements, which means less lot coverage and more expense in developing the units. One additional shopping area may redevelop with some housing at Dale and County Road B - approx. 120 units with mixed use retail. 3) Housing centers on or near transit - The sites listed above are adjacent to bus transit and near the n.e.diagonal right of way. Because of the grid system of roads in Roseville, any site near a north south collector (Rice, Dale, Lexington,Snelling,Fairview, Cleveland) generally has access to an existing bus or circulator route, In order to match jobs to housing, for other new housing and senior housing, Roseville in the future will also have to rely on the other 6 members of the Coalition for housing growth. 4) Land Use Maps - David Windle did review these maps, accepted them, and called your GIS staff to compliment them on the level of detail and accuracy, Good job! 5) Livable Communities Grant Applications - Roseville may apply for funds to assist with the conversion of the Arona Shopping Center into a mixed use center with new retail on first floor and housing above; estimate 120 to 240 units. Incentives needed to clean up the site and provide additional ponding as per Rice Creek Watershed requirements for redevelopment which really throw "cold water" on many redevelopment concepts because of impervious surface calculations.
