Regular Planning CommissionMeeting Minutes –Wednesday, January 6, 2016 Page 19 Planning Commission in another community for eight years, Ms. Botzis expressed her 927 empathy to the Commission. 928 As a volunteer mediator in the past for another Roseville project working for six months 929 with the facility owners and adjacent neighbors, Ms. Botzisnoted the result, due in part to 930 a responsive City Council, was a settlement to address neighborhood concerns. Ms. 931 Botzis noted she had only been a Roseville resident since this last spring, and also as an 932 employee in Roseville, expressed her love for the community, and Ferris Lane, opining 933 that the immediate area was very compact and unique. 934 Ms. Botzis recognized the considerable decision-making before the Commission, and 935 noted the passionate comments heard during tonight’s public testimony, giving them a lot 936 to consider, both statutorily and from that public comment. Ms. Botzis noted the fear and 937 uncertainty expressed by the neighbors, and their concerns with loss of control over their 938 future, and lack of trust expressed for a variety of reasons and directed at a variety of 939 places. 940 Ms. Botzis suggested that, at a minimum, the consensus appeared to be that a traffic 941 study was needed, which should serve to alleviate some of that uncertainty, and 942 hopefully avoiding another mediated situation, since she found a lot of similarities in 943 these development projects. While not directly impacted by this proposal, Ms. Botzis 944 noted that other of her Ferriswood neighbors and their separate Association are affected. 945 Peggy Doi,2220 Midland Grove Road, #310 946 Ms. Doi referenced previous comments made about the last comprehensive plan update 947 and designation as HDR, questioning if higher density was allowed, how that impacted 948 this particular parcel and if they could add to that density. 949 Before responding directly to Ms. Doi’s question Mr. Paschkestated that there was a lot 950 of speculation and misperceptions being brought forward tonight. However, he attempted 951 to clarify those things under the control of the City and those things beyond municipal 952 control, such as Section 8 housing, stipulating owner-occupied housing, or other types of 953 housing units not under municipal control. Mr. Paschke clarified that those things were 954 under the federal domain affecting housing rights and/or association rules, but not under 955 municipal domain. 956 As to Ms. Doi’s question, Mr. Paschke statedthat he was not aware of any discussion by 957 the developer or property owner to increase density, and clarified that density wouldn’t 958 increase as part of land use guidance under the comprehensive plan, but would be 959 addressed with zoning designation. If such a higher density was requested, such as 960 HDR-2, Mr. Paschke advised that it would also come with additional design standards 961 and strings attached accordingly. While anything can happen, Mr. Paschke focused the 962 requested action tonight; and noted HDR-1 or HDR-2 density requirements were more 963 thansufficient to serve most areas and situations in Roseville such as this proposal. 964 Chair Boguszewski asked staff to address opportunities for citizen involvement in the 965 comprehensive plan update process. 966 Mr. Paschke noted that the process itself and its timing was still being addressed, and 967 suggested citizens stay tuned to how that process moves forward. Mr. Paschke noted 968 that the issue would come back to the Planning Commission a number of times before 969 solidifying it and recommending its move to the City Council for their consideration, and 970 would provide numerous opportunities for citizen input at both levels. 971 Andy Weyer,2025 County Road B-2 W 972 As owner of the subject property, and a 46-year resident of Roseville, Mr. Weyer spoke to 973 some of the comments made tonight during public comment that were not accurate or 974 were misinformed. Mr. Weyer provided a history of his family who moved to Roseville 975 from Oregon in approximately 1906 and their purchase of the entire 30 acres on which 976 this subject parcel and surrounding parcels had been included. Mr. Weyer reviewed the 977 transitions of the property, utility assessments on three sides that required the family to 978
