items.
a. Sara Barsel, 1276 Eldridge Avenue
Ms. Barsel provided the City Council with a status update on the Roseville Block
Nurse Reinvention Task Force members, and provided hard copies of the two
surveys completed and now on SurveyMonkey along with a cover letter. The
surveys were entitled: "Roseville Senior Health Needs Survey" and "Roseville
Senior Housing Health Service Survey."
Ms. Barsel advised that an additional survey on adult health needs addressing the
more diverse and/or low income population in the community was still in process,
along with a medical providers' survey as well.
Ms. Barsel noted that at least twelve people were serving on the Task Force, and
while the process had taken longer than the initial six months projected, she antic-
ipated having it completed by the end of the summer and a subsequent report to
the City Council.
Ms. Barsel advised that the presentation to the City Council would include rec-
ommended resolutions for their consideration as the Task Force continued to
work with various agencies and faith communities in addressing this issue to co-
ordinate current programs.
At the request of Mayor Roe, Ms. Barsel advised that copies of the survey were
available by hard copy or on the City's website; and they were open to and will-

ing to explore any other ways to get the survey out to the public, including
through a gmail address at: bnpreinvent(aigmail.com. Ms. Barsel noted that hous-
ing managers were being asked to fill out a health service survey and to encourage
their residents to fill out the senior health needs survey.
City Manager Trudgeon agreed to make the surveys available for pick-up at City
Hall as well; and at the request of Councilmember Laliberte, offered to make the
surveys available on NextDoor.com.
Ms. Barsel advised that the cover letter provided instructions that the anonymous
surveys could also be dropped off in the black utility payment collection box out-
side City Hall as well.
Ms. Barsel encouraged Councilmembers and residents to utilize any avenues open
to get the surveys to Roseville's senior population; noting that other agencies in
the Ramsey County Public Health and Human Services Departments were very
interested in the results of the Roseville survey.
June Stewart,2807 Fernwood Street
As President of and representative the Area League of Women Voters (LWV),
Ms. Stewart read a written statement of the League expressing their disappoint-
ment in the City Council delay in taking action based on a 3/2 vote until results of
a community survey could be taken. Ms. Stewart expressed further dismay when
the City Council, following the rather confused and slanted survey question, sub-
sequently decided at a recent meeting to not pursue organized action and to elimi-
nate public discussion of the item at the requested June 8, 2015 City Council
meeting.
Ms. Stewart noted the support of organized trash collection by the LWV for a va-
riety of reasons, and also noted the support of the City's Public Works, Environ-
ment and Transportation Commission (PWETC) and their recommendation in
their advisory role to the City Council supporting organized trash collection. Ms.
Stewart noted that following the PWETC recommendation, the LWV had con-
ducted an independent study.
Ms. Stewart noted that there were other options that many cities have chosen to
take beyond those two provided in the survey question, allowing current haulers
to keep their market share and an assigned area of the City. Ms. Stewart opined
that the study supported the fact that multiple heavy trucks wore out streets, cost-
ing taxpayers more dollars.
Ms. Stewart thanked Councilmember McGehee for bringing the topic forward for
potential discussion at the June 8, 2015 meeting; and expressed the LWV's shock
that the City Council voted to not implement organized trash collection or not to
discuss it further, without the benefit of any further public comment and in their
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015

apparent response to the imperfectly worded survey question. Ms. Stewart opined
that such City Council action did not support community engagement, for which
topic there was much interest from both sides; and further opined that representa-
tive government should always err on the side of receiving more input from their
constituency.
Therefore, in conclusion, Ms. Stewart, speaking on behalf of the LWV, urged the
City Council to reconsider their action and schedule a public hearing on organized
trash collection.
5. Council Communications, Reports, and Announcements
Mayor Roe announced upcoming community events, including free document shredding
at City Hall; and noted that the upcoming Parks & Recreation Commission meeting was
scheduled at Cedarholm Golf Course providing an opportunity to discuss and tour the
golf course, pro shop and clubhouse, and as always, was open to the public to attend.
Mayor Roe announced the upcoming Roseville University and encouraged residents to
attend this free, but limited space, opportunity to become familiar with their local gov-
ernment.
Councilmember Laliberte reported on the recent Alzheimer's and Dementia action meet-
ing held at the City Hall Council Chambers to a packed room, with considerable and
good information disseminated for families and caregivers, including resources and direc-
tions to pursue. Having served as a member of the kick-off committee, Councilmember
Laliberte presented to City Manager Trudgeon the formal letters from legislators provid-
ing their support.
Mayor Roe agreed that it was a great event with lots of information provided; with that
information available by streaming online via the City's website.
Councilmember McGehee referenced a recent St. Paul Pioneer Press article about a fa-
ther/son team from Woodbury who had created a technique for bagging Buckthorn
stumps to prevent their regrowth versus chemical treatments or digging them out by hand.
As the City Council moved forward with the 2016 budget process, Councilmember
McGehee asked that staff be directed to bring forward policies for consider as part of the
budget process for review and potential implementation specific to financial sustainabil-
ity as part of the overview of how and why the City made decisions. Councilmember
McGehee opined this would prove useful for future City Council reference related to a
sustainability function.
At the request of Mayor Roe, Councilmember McGehee clarified her intent would be for
each department to consider sustainability when requesting funds for their specific de-
partment and to present useful policies for consideration when bringing their department
budgets forward.

Mayor Roe concurred that it would be an excellent idea to incorporate that into depart-
ment presentations, at least from a conceptual standpoint.
Hagen Property/Sherman Project Update (current truck terminal)
At the request of Councilmember Willmus at the previous City Council meeting, City
Manager Trudgeon provided a brief update on the proposed multi-family, freestanding
development of Sherman Associates for market rate and affordable housing, as well as a
commercial application as part of a proposed development for this site. While the project
had been on hold for some time, Mr. Trudgeon reported that as of last Friday, staff had
received a request for tax increment financing(TIF) that had been forwarded to the City's
TIF/financial consultant for initial review. Mr. Trudgeon advised that he anticipated
bringing the request forward for City Council consideration by the end of June.

b. Community Development Department Request to Perform an Abatement for
Unresolved Violations of City Code at 2560 Fry Street
Codes Coordinator Don Munson reviewed current code violations at this com-
mercial property, formerly the Press Gym and vacant for approximately eight
years, and the current owner identified as Morrissey Development Company. Mr.
Munson provided a status update, including photos, of current violations, primari-
ly the building and site in significant disrepair (violations of City Code, Sections
407.02.C1 407.02.D, 407.02.J & K, 407.03.H, 906.05.B, C & D). In order to
abate this property, Mr. Munson estimated costs at $20,000 for removal of debris
in the parking lot; removal of junk/debris from the site (e.g. mattress, sign, logs);
cutting and removing overgrown brush between the building and road; cutting
overgrown grass; and patching, repairing and repainting the entire building.
Mr. Munson advised that a previous abatement had been approved for the site by
the City Council, but after the winter snow had diminished, additional complaints
had been received regarding more exterior issues, as detailed in the RCA dated
May 4, 2015. Due to these additional issues, Mr. Munson advised that staff was
requesting a delay in City abatement until June 20, 2015 to allow the property
owner additional time to address the issues on their own, especially those addi-
tional exterior items not previously identified. Mr. Munson clarified that this
abatement would simply be the most cost-effective way to provide a short-term
solution to the property owner to determine whether to rebuild or demolish the
building.
Mr. Munson noted that the property owner had been in contact with the City, but
to-date, there had been no resolution; and further noted that Mr. Jason Morrissey
was present in the audience and wished to address the City Council.
At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Munson clarified that the request
for additional time for the abatement was due to the additional exterior issues dis-
covered in April after the snow melt, not due to any request by the owner for ad-
ditional time to decide whether or not to raze or repair the building.
At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Munson estimated it may take
that additional two months to bid the work out for a contractor, to cut vegetation
and other work that may take considerable time to accomplish. However, Mr.
Munson recognized that the work could also be accomplished sooner than that,
but the June 20th date allowed sufficient time for completion prior to implement-
ing a City abatement, and also at a cost much less for the owner to perform the
work than the City to hire contractors to perform the abatement.

Owner Jason Morrissey,Morrissey Development
Mr. Morrissey provided a history of the building, and their work with the City in
pursuing a zoning/planning process before the Planning Commission for an
apartment building several years ago. However, at that time, Mr. Morrissey stated
that they had backed off those plans based on the City's apparent interest in ac-
quiring this property for the adjacent park land, with that process taking several
years and a subsequent decision by the City not to pursue it due to higher-than-
anticipated appraisal coming in at half the tax value of the property.
Therefore, Mr. Morrissey stated he was now back at the beginning to consider op-
•
tions for a redevelopment project. Mr. Morrissey opined that the existing build-
ing's current condition would not pass City Code inspection, nor did he think the
City of Roseville would want it to remain.
Regarding staff's recommended date of June 20, Mr. Morrissey opined he could
have the property violations corrected by then; and his only request was for flexi-
bility regarding painting the entire building based on the possible demolition for a
future project. Mr. Morrissey offered his willingness to spray wash and touch-up
paint the building to look better without spending too much time and money on
that aspect. Regarding missing sections of siding, Mr. Morrissey advised that
some had rotted spots and would be repaired, in addition to the large sections cut
out intentionally to determine if rebar was in place that would prove sufficient to
support a two-story apartment building with underground parking, which it would
not. Mr. Morrissey assured the City Council that he would do a good job in
cleaning up the property, advising that he would be performing the work himself.
Mr. Morrissey clarified that he had hired someone to cut the grass, and had not
been aware that that person had felt no need to cut grass behind the berms where
the public couldn't see it, but agreed it needed to be cleaned up.
Regarding building security, Mr. Morrissey advised that the building had been se-
cured when previously notified by the City, and had since been compromised
again. As recently as yesterday, Mr. Morrissey advised that the door had been
welded shut and the roof door fastened shut, so opined there should be no way in
or out. Mr. Morrissey noted that this left basically cosmetic issues to bring into
compliance with City Code. Mr. Morrissey asked that he and Mr. Munson work
cooperatively on options for a gate to keep people from depositing more debris on
the lot in the future.
Councilmember Willmus questioned Mr. Morrissey on a timeline and/or decision
for potentially razing the building.
Mr. Morrissey responded that the building was not usable the way it is; and ad-
vised that it would mean his working with City staff to determine how to develop
a multi-family building there, based on adjacent multi-family properties. Mr.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 10
Morrissey advised that he'd also had some interest for a small family business,
consisting of a one-story office building. At this point, Mr. Morrissey advised
that he had initially contacted the City's Senior Planner Thomas Paschke last
week and would be meeting with him later this week to review the old plans to
see if they were still applicable. In response to Councilmember Willmus' ques-
tion regarding demolition, Mr. Morrissey advised that if the City Council had de-
termined that he only had two weeks to comply, he would look at the situation
much differently and would probably be seeking a demolition permit sooner ra-
ther than later.
Mr. Morrissey admitted that a lot of the building is subgrade, and to demolish it at
this time would create a liability issue due to that depth and require a fence
around the former perimeter of the building. Mr. Morrissey advised that he was
willing to demolish the building as soon as possible, since he owned a company
that could perform the demolition. However, Mr. Morrissey also noted the poten-
tial delay as he needs to follow the planning/development process among various
City Commissions or Boards to seek approval. Given that potential delay, Mr.
Morrissey questioned if immediate demolition was the safest thing for Roseville,
noting it would be a substantially deep hole existing while seeking permit approv-
al for redevelopment.
Councilmember McGehee noted the two options apparently available for Mr.
Morrissey's serious consideration: a one-story office building or multi-family
building, offering her support for either option. If Mr. Morrissey was actually go-
ing to be working in the immediate future with staff on redeveloping the site,
Councilmember McGehee offered her support for the proposed short-term work
versus demolition, allowing for some future development.
Upon the invitation of Mayor Roe, no one appeared to make public comment on
this property.
Mayor Roe clarified with Mr. Munson that an acceptable outcome for staff and
the City would be for the property owner to develop a plan for demolition and se-
cure the site and address external issues for brush and debris removal.
Mr. Munson agreed; opining that he did not see building demolition and/or rede-
velopment plans coming forward in the immediate future. However, Mr. Munson
noted that staff was more than willing to work with the property owner to elimi-
nate violations and the public nuisance, since the property owner could do so at a
much lower cost than the City being required to abate the property. Mr. Munson
advised that he and Mr. Morrissey had met on the site last week and discussed the
issues. Mr. Munson noted that the resolution of violations and the proposed rede-
velopment could move forward on a parallel track; however, he noted that it could
take another year to get that project ready.

Willmus moved, McGehee seconded, directing the Community Development staff
to abate the public nuisance violations at 2560 Fry Street by hiring general con-
tractors to correct the site violations as previously noted, if not corrected by the
property owner by June 20, 2015, at an estimated cost of$20,000; with the prop-
erty owner to be billed for actual and administrative costs, and if charges not paid,
authorizing staff to recover costs as specified in City Code, Section 407.07B.
Being aware of some area youth accessing the vacant building, Councilmember
Laliberte expressed her interest in making sure the larger holes in the building
were addressed prior to more park traffic occurs this spring. Councilmember
Laliberte stated she was not interested in having children exploring the building
and/or site.
Roll Call
Ayes: McGehee, Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, and Roe.
Nays: None.
15. Business Items—Presentations/Discussions
7:00 pm
a. Twin Lakes Discussion— Community Mixed Use (CMU) Zoning Designation
Uses
BENCH HANDOUT—Land Use Table Worksheet (updated from RCA)
Community Development Director Paul Bilotta provided an overview of the pro-
posed Twin Lakes discussion timeline showing major anticipated milestones
based on previous discussions.
Senior Planner Bryan Lloyd advised that he had put together an updated table as
the next step in this process to review specific land uses and regulatory issues for
the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area as described in detail in the RCA dated May
4, 2015. At the request of Mayor Roe, staff displayed a revised subarea map
overview of subareas as identified through the recent public input processes.
Mr. Lloyd noted the values coming out of the public process entered on the table,
and their specific application of negative, positive or neutral values for each pro-
posed use, suggesting those uses that could be permitted or not permitted, or per-
mitted through a Conditional Use (CU) process. Mr. Lloyd admitted that there
were a lot of neutral values that were difficult to distinguish, and therefore staff
had developed a five-point scale, shown in the table legend grouping those values
and differentials for each use.
Mr. Lloyd noted that Subarea 4 was the subject of the citizen petition received
earlier this year for moving zoning designation to medium density residential
(MDR).
Mr. Lloyd advised that the process in grouping variously valued areas had led to
some similarities in subareas, leading staff to group them in this way. Mr. Lloyd
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,May 4, 2015
Page 12
noted Subareas 1, 3, and 4 had presented similarities for uses and areas for lack of
support of some uses; with areas 2 and 7 seeming similar in scale and direction;
and subareas 5 and 6 showing similar consistencies as well. Therefore, Mr. Lloyd
advised that the ultimate recommendation was to group subareas as proposed by
staff, or for staff to seek further direction for refining land uses based on tonight's
discussion and identification of areas that could be regulated accordingly.
City Council Discussion
In an effort to keep discussion focused and provide clarity for that discussion and
the listening audience, Mayor Roe suggested having the City Council discussion
followed by public comment in response to that discussion. For the City Coun-
cil's own discussion point of view, Mayor Roe suggested grouping subareas to-
gether as a preliminary to that discussion as suggested by staff and within the
boundaries of those subareas previously outlined.
Councilmember McGehee expressed interest in adjusting the boundaries, while
agreeing with Mayor Roe's suggested discussion focus in working through the list
of uses on the table, with Mr. Lloyd adjusting the table as part of those discus-
sions and tonight's actions.
Councilmember Laliberte expressed appreciation for the preliminary discussion
on grouping subareas, and sought the initial discussion on that grouping before
considering individual uses.
Mayor Roe stated his interest in making sure, if a use is removed from the table of
uses, or not permitted in any or some areas, it be sufficiently recorded and cap-
tured as "not permitted" for the record in the zoning code table.
Councilmember McGehee concurred with Mayor Roe, opining it would be inter-
esting to see the resulting uses remaining.
Grouping Subareas Together(Attachment B)
Mayor Roe reiterated staff's recommendation.
Councilmember Laliberte stated her initial thought was to get some comments on
what was now being called Subarea B on the two far ends of the development ar-
ea which were similar. Councilmember Laliberte expressed particular concern
about Subarea B (formerly Subarea 7) especially with significant existing traffic
issues by Byerly's and Snelling Avenue. Councilmember Laliberte stated that
she may be more open to high traffic generating uses in Subarea B (the former
Subarea 2), but unless there was some defined resolution to traffic issues, would
not be amenable to such uses proposed in Subarea B (formerly Subarea 7).
Mayor Roe opined that subject lent itself to talking about Conditional Uses (CU)
and conditions as a follow-up.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,May 4, 2015
Page 13
Councilmember McGehee stated that she thought of those things related to Subar-
ea C differently than those things right on Cleveland Avenue, noting that uses
next to Subarea B at the bottom part of Subarea A and bumping up against Subar-
ea C south of Twin Lakes Parkway created significant differences for her between
that and the northerly strip along Langton Lake Park. Councilmember McGehee
stated she was unsure what she thought about the upper piece of Subarea C, but
opined that somehow Subarea C itself had a different character than the internal
side of the pieces.
Mayor Roe stated that he drew a line on his personal map, opining that the south
part of Subarea A belongs in Subarea C (actually Subarea B or C) due to its adja-
cency to the central core of Subarea C.
In the staff report, Mr. Lloyd noted that Twin Lakes Parkway seemed to become
an apparent dividing line between where places seemed to favor higher or lower
density uses (e.g. residential), suggesting that may correspond to the issue raised
by Mayor Roe.
Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of a more horizontal line on the map;
while Mayor Roe expressed his preference for the previous line on the map; and
Councilmember Willmus suggested dissecting parcels may actually play out with
dollar indications.
Mayor Roe recognized a clear consensus by Councilmembers Laliberte, Etten and
Willmus as well as himself, for Twin Lakes Parkway to serve as the dividing line.
Regarding boundaries, Mayor Roe offered his perspective in the northwest section
of Subarea A adjacent to Cleveland Avenue, recognizing the concern raised by
Councilmember Willmus in dividing parcels, making him question whether Sub-
area A is correct for those properties adjacent to the storm water pond and adja-
cent to Langton Lake Park.
Mr. Bilotta responded that Subarea A involved properties near the more sensitive
issues (e.g. Langton Lake Park) and those areas of concern. While the decision
was qualitative, Mr. Bilotta suggested taking those parcels on the far east and
drawing a line; while other parcels have visibility to County Road C and/or
Cleveland Avenue. Mr. Bilotta opined that this would avoid splitting parcels
while still providing protection for the park.
Mayor Roe expressed concern with narrowing Subarea A and it only becoming a
strip adjacent to the park.
Councilmember McGehee opined that the storm water pond was a nice amenity
for future development in the area. Councilmember McGehee expressed her sup-
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 14
port for not splitting that section, but leaving it all in Subarea A for lower intensi-
ty uses, and more heavy intensity to the south.
At the request of Mayor Roe for clarification, Councilmember Etten suggested
leaving all parcels currently identified in the northwest corner in Subarea A and
not split it up given the lake storm water pond and other things, making sense to
leave it as a whole parcel and avoid running into other multi-family residential
parcels.
Councilmember Laliberte agreed, opining that if intended for a less intensive use,
she saw no reason to carve up that area.
General Groupings (Attachment B, continued)
Mayor Roe noted significant differences between Subareas B and C, noting two
distinct City Council viewpoints expressed tonight regarding intended uses or lo-
cations, particularly in Subarea C, the central area around Fairview Avenue.
Specific to Subarea C, Councilmember McGehee noted that it was a huge area,
including up to County Road C, and she saw a slight difference in Subarea C
south of Terrace Drive versus those areas along County Road C and Fairview Av-
enue, at least east of Fairview Avenue (former Subarea 5).
For clarification at the request of Mayor Roe, Councilmember McGehee stated
that she was fine with including former Subarea 5 in Subarea B all the way up to
Terrace Drive.
Mayor Roe stated that he still lumped those Subareas together as a zoning area,
while recognizing the City Council's approach to former Subarea 6 may suggest
more of a rehabilitation versus redevelopment process.
At the request of Mayor Roe, Councilmember Etten concurred that the former
Subarea 6, now Subarea C, should not be split up since it has some flexibility and
Subarea C fit close enough. Councilmember Etten suggested leaving that area
whole, especially with the current businesses there being successful and not desir-
ing to zone them out of that area.
Mayor Roe noted there were three basic subareas moving forward and creating a
target depending on how they were defined.
Councilmember Laliberte sought clarification as to whether the body saw Subare-
as C uses being treated differently than the two Subarea B's.
Councilmembers McGehee and Etten agreed they would consider treating them
differently.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 15
Mayor Roe opined there may be a significant difference; however, those differ-
ences should come out in the specific uses for each Subarea.
Since Subarea C abuts Fairview Avenue and access on and off that corridor,
Councilmember Laliberte stated her view of that being different and her prefer-
ence to leave it, based on traffic compared to Cleveland Avenue and County Road
C.
Councilmember Etten concurred.
Councilmember McGehee opined that when The dividing line became Twin
Lakes Parkway, it changed Subarea A to an expanded Subarea C.
Mayor Roe and Councilmember Etten concurred.
Councilmember McGehee opined that Subarea C was a large area, and if any
changes in the dividing lines were made, she would suggest moving Subarea B
over to Fairview Avenue, making it different than the rest of Subarea C, and al-
lowing for Subarea C to become a larger chunk for development.
Councilmember Laliberte sought clarification if the intent was for the four proper-
ties along County Road C to become a bridge (e.g. Tile Shop, Fireplace Shop, and
Twin Lakes Medical and the site directly to the north).
Mayor Roe clarified that the east side of Fairview Avenue would extend Subarea
C to the west, and the Tile shop and site directly north would become part of Sub-
area B, expanding east of Fairview, while the area west of Subarea B still needed
further discussion and consensus.
Councilmember McGehee sought clarification that Subarea C ran west of Fair-
view Avenue down to County Road C.
Mayor Roe concurred, noting that it also extended to the north end of Subarea B.
However, Mayor Roe expressed concern moving the line that far north for Subar-
ea B based on properties at the northernmost end and not even at issue on the west
end of Fairview Avenue.
Councilmember Laliberte agreed that she would not extend Subarea B that far
north, while she could see the Tile and Fireplace uses included, only because they
were less intensive uses emptying onto Fairview Avenue.
Councilmember Etten opined that, before moving forward with that, the City
Council should address their individual and corporate thoughts on uses that would
be allowed in each subarea. Councilmember Etten noted that he had a different
vision for Subarea B, and questioned if it ended up allowing larger buildings, was
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4,2015
Page 16
that a desired outcome. Councilmember Etten noted it may be necessary to actu-
ally identify parcels before proceeding further.
Mayor Roe concurred, suggesting leaving Subarea C for the time being, and con-
sidering actual uses permitted for Subareas B and C.
Councilmember Laliberte suggested, with concurrence by Mayor Roe, on receiv-
ing public input prior to moving ahead to avoid further confusion.
Public Comment
Lisa McCormick,Wheeler Street
Ms. McCormick expressed her sincere appreciation for this format allowing for
public comment after initial discussions.
However, Ms. McCormick expressed her personal concerns in the significant dif-
ferences in how she viewed Subarea C immediately south of Terrace Drive and
down County Road C. Ms. McCormick expressed her appreciation in the com-
ments made about traffic on Fairview Avenue, and referenced her discussion with
Mr. Bilotta earlier on the character of properties off Fairview Avenue and current
Tile Shop and Medical building setting the gateway at the corners for that en-
trance. Ms. McCormick noted both buildings were two-stories, and suggested
something missing from this discussion was height as well as 24-hour operations.
Given the character of Fairview Avenue, Ms. McCormick expressed a preference
for less intense uses along the corridor.
Mayor Roe noted both height and 24-hour operations were intended for discus-
sion as part of this process.
Ms. McCormick further cautioned the City Council and reminded them that Mr.
Lloyd suggested the indication of positive survey responses for industrial uses in
Subarea 4.
Mayor Roe clarified that the responses, as reported by Mr. Lloyd, indicated nega-
tive to neutral responses to industrial uses in Subarea 4.
Ms. McCormick opined that there was more indication for residential uses; and
sought to continue bringing that up as it fell in line with the citizen petition previ-
ously submitted for what the neighborhood wanted in the Twin Lakes Redevel-
opment Area: less intense uses along Fairview Avenue and height issues ad-
dressed in the entire area.
Table of Uses (Attachment A)
Mayor Roe suggested starting at the top and moving through each use, with the
City Council reacting to both the existing zoning designation under Community
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,May 4,2015
Page 17
Mixed Use(CMU) and those permitted uses, and the uses as proposed in the 2014
exercise and suggested changes based on public feedback.
Mayor Roe clarified that the entire Twin Lakes Redevelopment had been zoned
CMU (shown on the left of the table) and 2014 changes (shown on the right of the
table) indicating a change of direction by the City Council based on public feed-
back and taken into account during tonight's discussion. If zoning is not currently
permitted in either case, Mayor Roe suggested it was easy to simply delete those
uses. However, for those uses not currently permitted and proposed to be
changed to permitted uses, Mayor Roe noted the need to make a decision tonight
between the two to address those conflicts.
Mr. Bilotta suggested an additional category beyond "Permitted (P)" or "Not
Permitted (NP)," that would include "Permitted with a Conditional Use (CU)" or
"Permitted with a Planned Unit Development(PUD)."
Mayor Roe noted the need to address parameters for PUD; with Mr. Bilotta sug-
gesting that would only indicate at this point that additional discretion was desired
by the City Council for that particular use, and could be dealt with in later discus-
sions.
Accessory: Drive-thru
Mayor Roe noted they were currently and proposed as NP.
Councilmember Willmus noted that this would mean no banks would be allowed
in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area, and suggested more discussion and feed-
back was needed.
Mr. Bilotta concurred, noting that this also included no pharmacies or other appli-
cable uses with drive-thru's.
Mayor Roe clarified that current Commercial and/or Business Park/Office zoning
designations require a CU for a drive-thru; and suggested clarifying this NP spe-
cific to fast food.
Councilmember McGehee questioned the need for any drive-thru, opining that
their uses created more asphalt, idling traffic, and pass-through traffic issues.
Councilmember Laliberte expressed her support of a pharmacy, coffee or bank
drive-thru use, as long as they were not up against residential properties due to
headlight, direction and speaker issues. While not opposed to this use in Subarea
B and could see it in Subarea C, Councilmember Laliberte stated that she was not
supportive of it as a use up against residential properties, such as in Subarea A.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,May 4, 2015
Page 18
However, in general, Councilmember Laliberte stated she was not wild about hav-
ing fast food uses allowed in the area.
Councilmember Etten agreed that drive-thru's were appropriate uses in Subareas
B and C.
Councilmember McGehee stated she'd support that use in Subarea B, but not
Subarea C.
As in other commercial districts, Mayor Roe noted their use would need CU ap-
proval, and therefore would be determined on a case by case basis in those zoning
designations. Therefore, Mayor Roe noted the consensus was to allow drive-
thru's in Subarea B with a CU.
Regarding permitting them in Subarea C, Councilmember Willmus opined that it
appeared uses were being overly restricted in some areas. While understanding
the need to protect residential areas and the area around Langton Lake by only al-
lowing drive-thru's in certain areas of Subarea B and not in Subarea A, Coun-
cilmember Willmus noted that the body was literally talking about one side of
Prior Avenue or another, making much less sense.
Mayor Roe asked Councilmember Willmus if the CU could address that issue for
him.
Councilmember Willmus responded that it could; however, he recognized incred-
ibly complex land use scenarios that could come forward; and expressed his con-
cern with development applications and implications moving forward. While try-
ing to keep an open mind for this discussion, Councilmember Willmus stated that
it might behoove the City Council to work out definitions of uses before specifi-
cally discussion Subareas A, B, and C on the map.
Mayor Roe suggested those definitions may be identified as uses were reviewed,
such as differences for fast food drive-thru's versus other uses.
Councilmember McGehee provided clarification from her perspective that this
was only a first pass and would be deferred for further refinement based on this
discussion and public comment, and would not be the final word.
Mayor Roe confirmed that this was not intended as the final discussion.
In conclusion for this specific use, Mayor Roe, with no objection from the body,
concluded that Accessory Use: drive-thru's were Permitted Use with a CU for
Subarea B and potentially Subarea C as well, subject to further public input for
more public areas.
Regular City Council Meeting

Civic/Institutional: Hospital
Since Mayor Roe was unable to find reference to this use (specifically hospitals)
in existing use tables to determine how they were being handled in other zoning
designations, he admitted he was unsure how to do so here. Mayor Roe stated
that the only reference he found was for Permitted Use with CU in Of-
fice/Business Park zoned districts.
Mr. Bilotta advised that they had been included in that designation as a result of
the one-time hospital proposal in that area.
Mayor Roe stated that, in Subarea A, the response had been lukewarm to nega-
tive, and also in Subareas C and B, questioning what that indicated.
Councilmember McGehee stated, when considering a modern hospital with a hel-
ipad and emergency traffic and operating 24/7, she would rule that use out based
on previous discussions.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this was a NP use anywhere in the
Twin Lakes Area.
Commercial; Daycare Center
Mayor Roe noted this use had received a fairly positive response in most districts.
By consensus Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this was a P use in all
Subareas, subject for additional public input.
Commercial: Lodging(hotel)
Mayor Roe noted the response had been negative for this use in Subareas A and C
and some already existing in Subarea B, indicting,by apparent consensus, it was a
NP use in Subareas A and C, and a P use in Subarea B.
Commercial: Restaurants (Fast Food)
Mayor Roe noted, as previously indicated, this was only a P use in Subarea B.
Mr. Bilotta clarified that "fast food" needed further definition as it didn't only in-
dicate a drive-thru, but was also considered for uses such as a Subway franchise,
and indicated counter service versus a sit-down restaurant.
When Mayor Roe questioned the designation of a Panera franchise, Mr. Bilotta
responded that this fell under a different use category, "fast casual."
As discussion fell into potential restaurants that could already be in process for
the Twin Lakes Area as part of current development, City Manager Trudgeon
clarified that current development indicated restaurants, but their type or category
had yet to be determined and would need to be based on a number of limiting fac-
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4,2015
Page 20
tors, including whether traditional, fast food without a drive-thru, or sit-down res-
taurant.
If the drive-thru definition was causing the problem in whether fast food uses
were permitted or not, Mayor Roe questioned if that category needed further defi-
nition accordingly.
Councilmember McGehee stated that she'd be fine with some fast food uses with-
out drive-thru access, noting the problematic synergy created in her immediate
neighborhood specific to drive-thru's.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that fast food with drive-thru was a P
use with CU, in Subareas A and possibly Subarea C; with the use determined as
NP across the board in Subarea B. Mayor Roe noted the need for specific fast
food definitions for future determination on any permitted CU coming forward.
Commercial: Restaurants (Traditional)
Councilmember Laliberte stated she could see that use in. Subarea A (formerly
Subarea 1),but wasn't sure if she could see it in Subarea A (formerly Subarea 4).
Mayor Roe suggested making it a P use with a CU and look further at conditions
associated with it, only in Subarea A,but not the other Subareas.
Councilmember Willmus noted that it had been permitted before, and was listed
as P in 2014 with fairly strong responses, causing him to question why.
Councilmember McGehee agreed with the comments of Councilmember
Willmus, opining that there was a strong desire across the City to have more vari-
ety and sit-down restaurants, and in this area in particular with workers and those
residents in that immediate area.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this was P use throughout the Twin
Lakes area.
Commercial: Retail (24-hour operation)
Mayor Roe noted that it was a P use in the original CMU district and the proposed
2014 CMU; and permitted in other areas with standards addressed in other areas
of City Code for 24-hour issues (e.g. noise, delivery times, buffer zones) for those
uses adjacent to single-family residential uses. Mayor Roe suggested the question
was whether to go with a city-wide strategy with restrictions for uses adjacent to
residential uses, or note a strong negative in this area across the board.
Councilmember McGehee noted the use was NP outside of a hospital, and opined
nothing needed to be open 24 hours/day, creating an additional drain on the City's
public safety departments.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,May 4, 2015
Page 21
Councilmember Etten questioned the impacts for a 24-hour urgent care service,
opining there were some tremendous services being offered under current busi-
ness models; and questioned how parameters could be put around such a use to
permit them.
Councilmember Willmus stated he would restrict the use as NP adjacent to resi-
dential properties and make it a P use with CU for other areas.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this would be a NP use in Subarea
A and a P with CU in Subareas B and C.
Commercial: Retail (big box)
Mayor Roe noted that "big box" had yet to be defined in code, and was an origi-
nally P use in CMU zoning, and currently proposed with a CU throughout the
Twin Lakes area. However, based on the strong negative feedback received,
Mayor Roe suggested it seemed preferred as a NP use in Subarea A.
Councilmember Willmus proposed a similar finding for this use as that of Com-
mercial: Retail (24 hour operation), pending a better definition being developed
for "big box." Councilmember Willmus noted that some may consider a Total
Wine franchise as big box retail, but it differed considerably from other examples
of"big box" and required further definition.
Mayor Roe concurred with Councilmember Willmus.
Mayor Roe sought consensus and suggested concluding that this could remain a P
use with CU in Subareas B and C."
Councilmember Willmus stated he would concur for now for the purpose of to-
night's discussion and a similar use as indicated in the 2014 exercise.
Councilmember McGehee stated that she would not support it as a P use in Sub-
area C; and would prefer not to deal with it at all until a definite definition was
developed.
Mayor Roe clarified that, as she understood the definition now, Councilmember
McGehee wouldn't support the use anywhere; which she affirmed as being a cor-
rect summation.
Councilmember Laliberte stated she would support it as a P use with CU in Sub-
area B and if that included the parcels serving as a bridge along County Road C as
previously discussed tonight. Councilmember Laliberte stated she was not sup-
portive of its use in Subarea C to avoid additional traffic on Fairview Avenue.
However, Councilmember Laliberte noted the public comment she'd received
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 22
about how nice it would be to have a Lowe's or Home Depot franchise in Rose-
ville, and suggested they'd be considered"big box," suggesting the need for CU if
considered a P use.
Councilmember Etten concurred with Councilmember Laliberte, and depending
on how Subarea B was drawn and its connections; with Subarea B fine with him
for a P use with CU. However, Councilmember Etten reiterated his cautions de-
pending on the map borders and definition developed for"big box."
At the request of Councilmember Willmus for other potential businesses included
in this use (e.g. the Tile Shop), Mayor Roe suggested revisiting NP as the process
continued and to determine if it met the definition.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this use was NP in Subareas A and
C at this time; and was a P use with CU only in Subarea B.
Commercial: Retail Csmaller scale)
Mayor Roe noted that this use was permitted in all commercial zones and of-
fice/business park zones in the City; with current HDR zoning in the area north
indicating NP. However, Mayor Roe suggested this may change further as zoning
changes.
Councilmember Etten suggested leaving it as is.
Councilmember Willmus noted the new Target business model for mini-stores
and questioned how that would fit.
Mr. Bilotta noted the need to define"small scale retail" as well as "big box."
Councilmember Willmus suggested leaving it as a P use throughout.
Councilmember Laliberte noted the lower part of Subarea A was just north of the
Wal-Mart development, and would push small retail against the lake and park if
left as is. Councilmember Laliberte supported it as a P use with CU only in Sub-
area A.
Councilmembers McGehee and Etten stated they would not support that, with
Councilmember Etten expressing concern in getting too controlling and restrictive
in permitted uses, while noting the need (to) (for) condition (all) uses to provide a
buffer for the lake as one example.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded this was a P use across the board at this
point.
Commercial: Vertical Mixed Use
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,May 4, 2015
Page 23
Mayor Roe advised that this was a NP use in any district except CMU at this time.
Councilmember Laliberte questioned how vertical is vertical.
Mayor Roe opined his was originally intended when stacked uses were consid-
ered, with residential typically above retail; but was not sure how high that was.
Mr. Bilotta noted staffs observation of height concerns expressed, opining that
this use may have fallen victim to that concern.
When stacking becomes a height concern, Councilmember McGehee questioned
whether it not it was appropriate in the current marketplace for commercial on the
first floor and two stories for housing above it.
Mr. Bilotta responded that most multi-family developments want a minimum of
four stories, with concrete for the first floor, actually creating a height of five sto-
ries, the limit under code for stick construction. If commercial was required for
the first floor, Mr. Bilotta opined that this would typically knock out many devel-
opers today, as most projects tended to be subsidized if multi-family, and general-
ly 2-3 story developments were not seen unless in a more downtown, hot retail ar-
ea.
Councilmember McGehee suggested NP use in the entire area.
Mayor Roe stated he was thinking NP in Subarea A and P with CU in the other
Subareas.
Councilmember Laliberte stated she didn't have a problem with it being a P use in
Subarea B, opining that the City would be supportive of a four-story office park in
Subarea B.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded this was a P use in all Subareas with the
exception of Subarea A.
Industrial: Light Industrial
Noting this was a NP in all commercial zoning districts and Office/Business Park,
and by apparent consensus, Mayor Roe concluded that this would remain un-
changed as a NP use.
Industrial: Limited Production/Processing
Councilmember McGehee opined a P use with CU might be a good thing (e.g.
medical technology).
Mayor Roe noted this use was a P use in Regional Business (RB)-2 Districts, but
not in RB-1 or other commercial Districts.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 24
At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Bilotta noted this might include
other uses, some current in the northwest area of Twin Lakes, such as an incuba-
tor use or a business that had an office in the front and a "clean room" for pro-
cessing in the back (e.g. electronic components and blood meter production), or
other businesses where others manufactured the part and they were put together in
a facility permitted under this type of use category. Mr. Bilotta advised that staff
received many inquiries for that type of use or category, typically a one-story in-
dustrial park throughout the area. As a general goal, and as indicated on this
working copy of the Use Table, Mr. Bilotta advised that if you stood outside the
building, you would see no difference from this and an ordinary office building,
even though production and processing were occurring inside, and sometimes
even multi-tenant uses. Mr. Bilotta opined that the only tricky part was in ad-
dressing the level of deliveries. However, at this point, Mr. Bilotta advised that
staff was trying to keep the understanding more on the street level than defining
the uses in more detail for this exercise.
Mayor Roe noted a definition currently existed in code for this use; with Coun-
cilmember Laliberte clarifying that the definition dealt mostly with sound, as con-
firmed by Mr. Bilotta.
Councilmember Laliberte stated that her only caveat for this use would be related
to sound and potential impacts from shift work and disruptive traffic patterns;
with Mayor Roe adding another caveat for odors.
Mr. Bilotta duly noted those caveats, adding others already in place that would
address how the use was conducted indoors and whether or not it was compatible
with other uses in the same building or complex.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this remained a P use in all zones
as indicated in the 2014 change.
Industrial: Limited Warehousing/Distribution
Councilmember McGehee noted this was the use hashed out in the past regarding
the number and size of trucks and provided in RB-2. Councilmember McGehee
stated she would not want this use in Subarea A, but would support it in Subareas
B or C.
Councilmember Laliberte noted her concurrence with the proposed 2014 changes.
Mayor Roe noted they could be P under that proposed 2014 change.
Councilmember Willmus stated they should be left as a P use under CU in all
zoning categories.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 25
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this remain a P use under CU in all
Subareas.
Industrial: Manufacturing
Industrial: Warehouse
With little discussion and without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that this re-
mains an NP use in all Subareas for both categories.
Office: All Categories (Clinic, Medical, Dental, Optical, Corporate Headquarters,
General, Office Showroom)
Mayor Roe noted the only change from current status to the 2014 proposed use
was to NP Office Showroom, with it being P in all other Office/Business Park and
other Commercial Districts.
Councilmember Willmus suggested permitting the Office Showroom use as well.
Councilmember Laliberte questioned the rationale in arriving at a NP use in pre-
vious conversations; with Mayor Roe suggesting it perhaps never got to the dis-
cussion point at that time.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that uses remain P across the board in
all Subareas.
Residential in General
Mayor Roe asked staff if there were any projections or proposals from them at
this time on how to break down Multi-Family within use tables depending on spe-
cific zoning codes.
Mr. Bilotta advised that it was broken down for questioning, and as an example,
multi-family was just that, no matter the considerable amount of emotion sur-
rounding it. Mr. Bilotta stated that some are fine with condominium housing, but
not with Section 8 housing, and based on Fair Housing Laws, the City was not al-
lowed to pick apart or slice individual multi-family housing types. and the only
option was to control whether or not there were owner-occupied or not, with no
other levels of control.
Mayor Roe noted the need to also control the height limitations for multi-family
and other use types adjacent to single-family residential areas.
Residential/Family: Multi-family
Councilmember Willmus noted that Mr. Bilotta touched on this as well and the
difficulty in getting into conversations for market rate, workforce, Section 8 or
other housing based on the underlying use. Councilmember Willmus noted that
someone could walking the door seeking dollars for market rate housing, and 2-3
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 26
years later, convert them to a different type of use. Therefore, Councilmember
Wilimus indicated his hesitancy in having this conversation at all.
Mayor Roe concurred, noting that the City would have no recourse based on Fair
Housing Laws; with the City unable or not desiring to discriminate in any way.
Mr. Bilotta stated that that City may or may not decide uses based on other deci-
sions beyond zoning, such as with funding participation, but the basic zoning des-
ignation is simply multi-family.
Mayor Roe concurred.
Councilmember Laliberte noted that it looked like in the single-family category,
multi-family was a P use and others NP.
Mayor Roe clarified that single-family was just single-family and therefore, not
broken down by type.
Mr. Bilotta concurred, noting that the only discussion needed for the multi-family
category was building type, no matter who occupied it.
Councilmember Laliberte questioned if this was a good place to discuss height
since it hadn't been done in the Office category.
Mayor Roe suggested height be considered for Subareas A, B and C or across the
entire area, and based on its adjacency to the park, single-family homes, etc.
Councilmember McGehee clarified that she considered assisted living as a differ-
ent category than multi-family.
Mr. Bilotta confirmed that it was a different category, referencing its including on
as a separate category at the very end of the table.
Mayor Roe asked that the assisted living category be a different discussion than
the multi-family discussion currently underway.
Specific to multi-family, Councilmember McGehee stated her preference to in-
corporate discussions with other projects coming forward in the recent past, and
while not separating buildings by category, making sure that each building pro-
vide workforce or non-market rate housing as well as market-rate units so all peo-
ple shared similar amenities and were not disenfranchised from one building to
another. Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of also having multi-family
buildings specifically for families to provide play areas.
Mayor Roe suggested that may be more of a policy rather than zoning discussion.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4,2015
Page 27
By consensus, Mayor Roe suggested a conclusion to allow multi-family housing
as a P use in the CMU zoning district, and generally speaking permitted through-
out the area, pending future discussions specific to height issues.
As this area is shaped, Councilmember McGehee opined it was turning into more
of a business and light industrial area.
Mayor Roe noted that this was part of the discussion in previous uses, but now the
discussion was moving into the residential uses.
Councilmember McGehee opined that originally the City Council had talked
about stacked uses, thus the residential consideration, but now since it was mov-
ing toward stand-alone residential, which could be adjacent to a park or other use,
it created quite a different feel for the entire area.
Mayor Roe expressed his disagreement with Councilmember McGehee on her
recollection of the original discussion and creation of CMU zoning for the last
Twin Lakes development proposal to provide distinct areas, including a block of
residential uses and a block of office uses. Under that scenario, Mayor Roe
opined that things remained amenable and the City Council remained consistent
with that 2014 exercise, pending addressing issues about adjacencies.
Specific to multi-family responses and public input, Councilmember Willmus
spoke in support of changing from P uses to P with CU across the board.
Councilmember Laliberte noted the need to address density as the next issue in
multi-family uses.
Councilmember Willmus clarified that he was speaking specifically to multi-
family uses on the table of uses, and when getting into other uses, he would not
change Medium Density Residential (MDR) areas.
Mayor Roe noted HDR provided for so many units per acre.
Councilmember Willmus noted that HDR in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area
would therefore,under his scenario, all be under the P with CU use designation.
Councilmember Etten stated that would get to his concern should Area B become
a larger retail function, wondering if that should be a P use in that area. Coun-
cilmember Etten opined that a lot of business was already going on in that area,
based on street visibility, and Councilmember Willmus' suggestion would ensure
that multi-family residential uses would all fall under a P with CU in Subareas A
and B.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 28
Mayor Roe noted that by making uses P with CU in all districts it would get to
those remaining issues and concerns in all districts.
Councilmember Laliberte opined that she saw interest by developers for multi-
family in Subarea B due to its proximity to the bus line.
Councilmember Willmus opined that his proposal would not preclude that, but
would still provide for a deeper look if and when it came around.
Mayor Roe noted that the zoning code already and often had specific conditions
for CU's.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded that multi-family would be a P use in all
Subareas of the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area.
Residential/Family: One-family attached (Duplexes - MDR)
Mayor Roe noted current use designation indicated NP and there appeared to be
no indication for change.
Residential/Family: One-family(Townhome/Row House)
Mayor Roe noted current use designation indicated P and there appeared to be a
positive response, indicating no change.
Without objection, Mayor Roe concluded and confirmed that duplexes remained a
NP use and townhomes a P use throughout the Twin Lakes area.
Councilmember Laliberte questioned the side by side houses off County Road C
and Dale Street off Overlook Drive, and whether they were also considered du-
plexes.
Councilmember Willmus stated they were considered townhomes.
Councilmember Laliberte spoke in support of more housing of that type in the
community if they were not considered a duplex.
Mr. Bilotta clarified that duplexes, based again on the street term, was that a du-
plex, while feeling like two single-family homes stuck together was different than
the homes on Overlook that were considered a townhome and broken up versus
being all in a row.
Mayor Roe, as another example, noted the Ramsey Square/Westwood Village
units of a similar nature were townhomes; and confirmed for Councilmember
Laliberte that they would be permitted in this area as well.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4,2015
Page 29
Without objection, Mayor Roe confirmed that duplexes would remain a NP use
and townhomes a P use.
Residential/Family: One-Family Detached
Councilmember Willmus stated his satisfaction with the last four residen-
tial/family listings.
Mayor Roe noted that they were currently NP and there appeared to be no pro-
posal to change.
Councilmember Laliberte questioned some areas around Langton Lake.
Councilmember Etten noted the west edge of Langton Lake was in Subarea A;
with Councilmember Laliberte noting similarities to properties on the east side.
Councilmember Etten noted that side would allow for duplexes or single-family
homes.
Councilmember Willmus stated he would consider a P use with a CU when look-
ing at single-family developments backing up to the lake as an amenity, opining
that this could attract larger homes than other areas of the development. If con-
sidering height restrictions, Councilmember Willmus questioned staff's interpre-
tation of that.
Mr. Lloyd responded that the height was determined at 30' to the midpoint of the
gable.
Therefore, Councilmember Willmus advised that he would look at it as P use with
•
CU only in Subarea A, and only specifically for single-family and not duplexes.
Without objection, Mayor Roe confirmed that this would be a P use with CU in
Subarea A.
Residential/Group: Assisted Living
Mayor Roe noted current zoning was a P use with CU; and no change was pro-
posed.
Mr. Bilotta clarified that it was permitted in HDR zoned districts.
Without objection, Mayor Roe confirmed that this was a P use in all Subareas.
At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mayor Roe confirmed that this was a
draft document and nothing was permanent, with discussions to follow on scale,
height and other issues raised during tonight's discussion.

Regarding the bridge parcels previously discussed tonight between Subarea B on
the west side and the east side along County Road C, Mayor Roe questioned if
there was a desire by the body to change the strip or leave as staff originally dis-
played.
Councilmember Willmus opined it should be left open "to be determined" for
now.
Councilmember Laliberte sought to go on record to state that she was not in sup-
port of that Subarea progress as far north as staff's dotted line on the map indicat-
ed.
Councilmember McGehee stated she was not totally committed to her original
proposal tonight in any strong way.
Mayor Roe thanked staff for their assistance and suggested further thought and
feedback be considered prior to a decision on this bridge area.
Public Comment
Lisa McCormick
Ms. McCormick opined that she was in essence seeing a disregard by the City
Council in requests from its residents and simply moving current HDR zoning to
CMU.
Mayor Roe concurred that the City Council was proposing CMU zoning for Sub-
area 4 of the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area, as originally suggested in 2014.
Ms. McCormick stated she found this very disappointing, opining that she would
have much appreciated a discussion of heights as part of this. Form her recollec-
tion of residential survey results and her discussions with Mr. Bilotta, indications
were not in favor of multi-family housing in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Ar-
ea, and if considered at all it would only be in Subarea B, even though she was
now seeing it as being a P use.
Mayor Roe clarified that it was a P use with conditional uses applied; with Coun-
cilmember Willmus concurring.
Ms. McCormick stated that she had an issue with multi-family in Subarea C,
south of Terrace Drive, and reiterated the example with her property and how far
noise and odors actually travelled, with 750' not actually being that far from sin-
gle-family homes. Ms. McCormick expressed further concern with limited pro-
duction and processing uses, formerly NP and suggested for change tonight by the
City Council to a P use, even after hearing people speak in opposition to that. If
the neighborhood could be assured that the uses would be restricted to office and
clean rooms, Ms. McCormick stated they would be somewhat relieved. However,
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 31
Ms. McCormick asked how oversized bays would be addressed and whether
they'd be allowed or not, in addition to many other questions with this use pro-
posed so close to Langton Lake and single-family residences.
All in all, Ms. McCormick noted that 65 surveys had been returned, contrasted
with 80 signatures on several very specific petitions. Under those circumstances,
Ms. McCormick stated that she felt slighted, and in some respects felt things were
moving forward, while in other areas they were not.
Tim Callaghan,3062 Shorewood Lane
From his perspective, Mr. Callaghan stated his belief that the City was pursuing
too high density next to a residential area. Mr. Callaghan opined that the City
plan didn't used to allow HDR next to residential, but required MDR on the way
and as a buffer. In his review of this, Mr. Callaghan stated a multi-family build-
ing with 400 residents was fine next to a single-family neighborhood (Subarea A,
formerly Subarea 4), which he found to be a mistake and didn't understand why
duplexes were not being allowed when two townhomes were permitted in the
same area and could look the same as long as they weren't called duplexes. Mr.
Callaghan opined that he was having a hard time with definitions, since those two
seemed so close to each other and either provided a transition to HDR from the
single-family residential area. Mr. Callaghan expressed his lack of certainty if
multi-family housing was allowed in Subarea C; and stated he had no problem
with it in Subarea B.
Mr. Callaghan opined that big box retail didn't belong anywhere in this area; and
while there was a certain amount of retail the City could still support and had the
ability to handle traffic to accommodate; it, all that appeared to him to be happen-
ing was that additional retail was increasing the load for Police and Fire personnel
without generating any additional revenue beyond that paid for by Roseville tax-
payers, which was not a good idea in his opinion.
Personally, Mr. Callaghan stated he would not include the red line on the dis-
played map, as it was way too close to Langton Lake Park and he would back it
down. Mr. Callaghan reiterated statements made at previous Council meetings
regarding his lack of support or belief in the whole Twin Lakes Parkway issue
and City Council responses heard during that time as a result of a fake traffic
study assuming six lanes on Snelling Avenue. Mr. Callaghan agreed with Coun-
cilmember McGehee's proposal for the line more horizontal; and again ques-
tioned the rationale for building Twin Lakes Parkway at all, therefore not using it
as a dividing line for Subareas and uses.
Kathleen Erickson, Centennial Drive
When this process was begun almost a year ago, Ms. Erickson opined that she felt
it was a last attempt to participate in civic planning and discussion. However, at
this point, Ms. Erickson opined she found it in some ways to have been a fruitless
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday,May 4, 2015
Page 32
endeavor, even though the neighborhood had organized, been courteous and
played by the rules, they continued to be discounted and things remained prede-
termined from her perspective,just like Twin Lakes Parkway, as well as moving
from HDR to CMU zoning even though the neighborhood asked by petition that it
not occur. Ms. Erickson noted that she didn't have a 750' buffer between her
property and adjacent property, but abutted on the business directly behind here,
and would have preferred MDR in that area to protect her single-family parcel.
Ms. Erickson stated her love for the neighborhood, and the desire of her and her
neighbors not to see it urbanized, nor did they desire to become an Oakcrest that
was cut off from the rest of the community.
At a minimum, Ms. Erickson thanked the City Council for the process that al-
lowed her to get to know her neighbors much better. However, Ms. Erickson not-
ed that neighbors had yet to receive one response to the petitions submitted to the
City Council; and reiterated her request that their neighborhood's desire to be
heard.
Brooke Tosi, 1766 Millwood Avenue
Echoing what some are saying, Ms. Tosi opined that multi-family uses in Subarea
A should remain as NP uses. Ms. Tosi thanked the City Council for the good dis-
cussion about CU's and how that would allow the City to have input on the kind
of development for a particular area, which she saw working in Subareas B and C.
However, Ms. Tosi opined that Subarea A was different in that regard, and refer-
enced the positive and/or neutral survey responses for duplexes in Subarea A
(former Subarea 4) and could support P with CU near those residential areas.
Mayor Roe emphasized that work on the Table of Uses and map lines remained
preliminary and would be subject to further public input; and at a minimum a pub-
lic hearing before the Planning Commission as required by state law and city
code. Mayor Roe noted there would also be opportunities for additional feedback
by other means, as usual, as discussions continued.
Councilmember Laliberte stated that she remained clear about her perspective on
the various conversations; and she reminded the public that she had asked for and
was confident that the City Council would get to a discussion about HDR. Coun-
cilmember Laliberte stated that, from her perspective, she felt there was still too
many permitted uses even though other grandfathered uses were in place at this
time. Also, Councilmember Laliberte noted the need to address opportunities to
get more MDR in the City, as there were many current residents who may be
ready to move from their single-family homes. Councilmember Laliberte advised
that she may give further consideration as to whether to support multi-family resi-
dential as a P use and encourage MDR next to single-family homes.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4, 2015
Page 33
Councilmember Willmus reiterated that currently, multi-family use is moving
from a P use to P with CU, a significant step in allowing the City Council review
of individual applications versus a developer simply pulling a permit to build a
building. Councilmember Willmus expressed his personal disappointment that
the neighborhood had not acknowledged that significant step moving forward.
Councilmember Willmus further clarified that the City Council was not prohibit-
ing MDR and that it would be continued as a P use, indicating that the City Coun-
cil may need to do a better job of articulating the steps being taken; opining that in
many areas the City Council and neighborhood were on the same page.
Councilmember McGehee echoed the comments of both Councilmembers
Laliberte and Willmus. To the extent that she was not a supporter of CU, Coun-
cilmember McGehee opined that it provided the City Council with a chance to
look at things. Regardless of the outcome of the future height discussion, and in
light of this being a first touch in addressing the use table, Councilmember
McGehee stated her willingness to favor MDR as a permitted use throughout
Subarea A given the new line drawn on the displayed map; and expressed her
willingness to have multi-family as a NP use in that area. However, Coun-
cilmember McGehee noted that while the CU provided that additional scrutiny, it
left the door open for future Council's to allow proposals that would run with the
land under that CU.
Having gone through tonight's process, Councilmember McGehee asked that staff
be directed to post the results of the discussion on the City's website that allowed
for questions from residents on what future development may look like and pro-
vide their responses before decisions are made. Councilmember McGehee shared
the sentiments about the process and inviting participation by residents; however,
she also noted the challenge in accomplishing everything the way everyone want-
ed. At the end of the process however, Councilmember McGehee expressed the
goal to have people feel they'd been heard, with the difference being in hearing
and doing what they heard, suggesting there was plenty of room for compromise
from the original scenario.
Councilmember Etten concurred with some of the comments of Councilmembers
Willmus and Laliberte, stating the City Council's intent to respond to the desires
of the broader community. Councilmember Etten noted future discussions re-
garding height to protect adjacent single-family homes; but expressed concern in
eliminating multi-family from Subarea A entirely, since there were a number of
positive uses for it in areas. Councilmember Etten reiterated his intent to address
zones that would protect not only Langton Lake but single-family homes to make
sure the neighbors, lake and environment were respected. However, Coun-
cilmember Etten noted that a lot of Roseville residents currently lived with single-
family and multi-family housing abutting each other and typically a setback was
in place to address that co-mingling of housing types, and this type of develop-
ment would not be the first time it happened in Roseville.
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4,2015
Page 34
Despite efforts by the City Council to address significant geographical differences
between Subareas, Councilmember Willmus opined the multi-family use may be
appropriate in Subarea A along County Road C, while it may be appropriate in
Subarea A north of Terrace. Councilmember Willmus further opined that, as
mentioned by Councilmember Etten, future discussion needs to focus on the lake
and existing residential areas and in reviewing the overall context.
Specific and in response to the MDR petition, Mayor Roe recognized the large
number of residents in the immediate neighborhood, but also noted the need for
the City Council to address responses received from the broader community as
well and weight their concerns as well in the decision-making process. From his
personal perspective, Mayor Roe advised that moving to MDR for the entire strip
north of Terrace Drive was far too restrictive of uses even though such uses may
be acceptable to the neighbors.
Mayor Roe agreed that the City needed to use care in addressing adjacency issues
for single-family homes and the lake, which remained a concern throughout the
City, and admitted that planning and land use decisions made in the past didn't
always end up right. Mayor Roe used the Har Mar Mall project as one of those
examples, and the ongoing code enforcement issues in that area, recognizing the
need to be conscious of that moving forward. Mayor Roe opined that the way to
accomplish that is through using specific restrictions in the zoning code versus
agreements;, and advised that he'll be looking to that going forward. Mayor Roe
reiterated his concern that he found the MDR citizen petition too restrictive and
opined he found other uses should be on the table, making it more appropriate for
CMU zoning there.
Based on his personal opinion, and as stated previously by Councilmember
McGehee, Mayor Roe opined that when going through these processes as a repre-
sentative democracy, there will seldom if ever be 100% satisfaction; but the goal
was to get the best possible solution for what was believed to be the best for the
community moving forward. Under that scenario, Mayor Roe opined that the
City Council and staff had made a good effort to accommodate public concerns,
and would continue to listen and look at ways and conditions (e.g. buffer zones
and possibly change initial designations). Mayor Roe reminded everyone that this
was only a first draft, and not the end of the discussion; and while not satisfying
all, the City Council was doing its best and didn't want to shut anyone out of the
process.
At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, and at the direction of Mayor Roe,
Mr. Bilotta advised that future height issue discussions may alleviate some con-
cerns, especially around lakes and single-family residences. Mr. Bilotta stated
that staff would return with options for how that may be addressed, suggesting as
Regular City Council Meeting
Monday, May 4,2015
Page 35
an example, the north side of Terrace Drive may not be appropriate for a five-
story building. Mr. Bilotta anticipated looking at CMU and CMU-light concepts
as part of that height decision, addressing not only changes in uses, but also inten-
sity of uses. Mr. Bilotta advised that staff would return with proposed standards
for City Council consideration allowing them to break from overall discussions to
address that vertical issue.
Given the current single-family height of 30' to the center of the gable, Mayor
Roe noted that even that created issues for single-family homes; and even single-
family abutting other single-family could create an issue. Therefore, Mayor Roe
expressed his interest in the next part of the conversation related to conditions and
height.
Councilmember McGehee expressed appreciation for the way Mayor Roe ex-
pressed that last phrase, and requested direction from staff on what was too re-
strictive, since the goal was to have something that will incent development but
not be too restrictive; and sought additional insight from staff.
Mr. Bilotta duly noted that interest, noting that with the gap in City Council meet-
ings after next week, it would allow time for the neighborhood, staff and the City
Council to absorb tonight's discussion and decisions, and come back in June with
those ideas.
At the request of Mayor Roe on behalf of Councilmember Laliberte's interest in
the next steps, Mr. Bilotta reviewed the eight steps as detailed in the RCA.
Mayor Roe suggested staff provide some theoretical conditions that could be ap-
plied to uses.
Councilmember Willmus asked that staff be directed to track changes on future it-
erations of the spreadsheet based on tonight's discussion and action; with Mayor
Roe suggesting simply dating each version of the spreadsheet going forward.
Mr. Bilotta suggested that future iterations could include three columns for A, B
and C even though future adjustments would also be forthcoming.
Closed Session
Mayor Roe advised that, in accordance with Minnesota State Statute 13.D.05, subd. 3.c, the City
Council could move to closed session to discuss potential property purchases or sales, in this in-
stance to discuss the potential purchase of portions of properties located at 934 — 950 Woodhill

We are new residents and soon to be new homeowners in Roseville on Lake Owasso and
are buying a small house that is located directly in front of the water ski course. The
course has been a part of the lake since the late 1960's when my wife was a water skier
and used the course. We may not be using the course now but are excited to see others
using it including the disabled skiers active with the program offered through Courage
Center. Thank you for granting the past permits and hope that you allow this amazing
tradition to continue. Respectfully submitted, Michael Walz

Greetings. Most of you may remember me from previous public hearing meetings (over
the last 20+ yrs), concerning the permit to have the ski course on LK Owasso. To the
new Council members, it's been a great sporting tradition for over 60 yrs. Safety is our
biggest concern. I am unable to attend the meeting this year due to a work conflict. I am
asking that you once again approve the permit and let summer fun in Roseville begin!
Please contact me with any questions. Thank you for all you do for this great city in
which we reside! Steve

We are new residents and soon to be new homeowners in Roseville on Lake Owasso and
are buying a small house that is located directly in front of the water ski course. The
course has been a part of the lake since the late 1960's when my wife was a water skier
and used the course. We may not be using the course now but are excited to see others
using it including the disabled skiers active with the program offered through Courage
Center. Thank you for granting the past permits and hope that you allow this amazing
tradition to continue. Respectfully submitted, Michael Walz

Greetings. Most of you may remember me from previous public hearing meetings (over
the last 20+ yrs), concerning the permit to have the ski course on LK Owasso. To the
new Council members, it's been a great sporting tradition for over 60 yrs. Safety is our
biggest concern. I am unable to attend the meeting this year due to a work conflict. I am
asking that you once again approve the permit and let summer fun in Roseville begin!
Please contact me with any questions. Thank you for all you do for this great city in
which we reside! Steve

Hello, my name is Maren and I'm 17. I've lived on Lake Owasso my whole life and each
summer I look forward skiing. Recently I have learned to ski the slalom course. I really
enjoy it and I love to see the joy it brings so many other members of our lake
community. I hope that you will approve the permit. Thank you for your time! -Maren

Subject: May 4 Council minutes
Pat and Kari,
As I was updating my table of land uses being discussed in the Twin Lakes area, I used the minutes and
the video to triple-check(as it were) my notations in that table during the Council's discussion on May 4.
If I'm not misunderstanding the archived video, I think the minutes have the wrong "without objection,
Mayor Roe concluded..." in a few places. Specifically,
Fast food: I believe that the Council agreed that they were generally open to drive-throughs as
conditional uses for banks, pharmacies, and so on, throughout the area, and they didn't have any
objection to permitting fast food restaurants in any location that don't have drive-throughs. And they all
agreed that fast food restaurants with drive-throughs should be prohibited everywhere. The minutes
suggest to me that fast food drive-throughs can be allowed as conditional uses up by the residential
neighborhood and maybe along Fairview Avenue, but not behind Byerly's or by Walmart. My solution
during the discussion was to modify the table to show"fast food" as permitted in any location and to
show"fast food with drive-through" as not permitted in any location, and as the Council was talking
about how to summarize their preference Member Etten commented that my fix in the table did the
trick.
Multi-family residential: The minutes indicate that the Council decided that multi-family developments
should be permitted in all locations, but I'm pretty certain that they settled on such developments being
conditional uses in all locations.
Assisted living: the mistake is pretty easily seen, here.The first line of the minutes of this part of the
discussion indicates that assisted living is a conditional use everywhere and that no change is being
discussed, but the last line "confirms" that it's simply a permitted (rather than conditional) use in all
locations.
I don't know exactly what fix is necessary, if any, but the discrepancies could be important if people are
keeping score at home.
