I appreciate your commitment in keeping Roseville safe and a <br />desirable community in which to live. We all want to do the right thing for our neighbors and our <br />neighborhoods. <br />However, I would like to move for removal of item 8a from the consent agenda. <br />My basis for removal and further discussion is in response to the facts forming the denial are: <br />(Pertaining to the Denial of Minor Subdivision letter l dated on Tuesday July 15 through US Mail). <br />• Fact one: not relevant <br />• Fact two: not factual <br />Fact three: specifies requirements that are not supported by the city code and were not publicly <br />disclosed requirements prior to this subdivision request <br />Once removed, I would further like to move, in accordance to Rosenberg's Rules of Order, that one of <br />the three Council Members in the majority of this vote enter a motion to reconsider based upon the <br />following responses of the "facts" that formed this subdivision denial. <br />In accordance with the options provided to the Council, there was a 3-2 vote to deny this subdivision at <br />the July 11th meeting. The denial was supported by three statements of fact, as follows: <br />1) The existing storm water runoff and drainage issues in the area are extreme <br />2) The proposal does not meet minimum requirements of the city code for lot width <br />3) The marginal runoff from the residential development intended for the subdivided parcel might <br />be injurious to other homes in the surrounding neighborhood. <br />There is no definition of what constitutes a"fact" in the city vocabulary. Needing to understand these <br />"facts" outlined by the Council, I referred to, what I felt would be a mutually agreeable definition source: <br />Merriam-Webster. Their definition of fact is: <br />Something that truly exists or happens : something that has actual existence : a true <br />piece of information. <br />_ _ <br />_ _ _ _. _ _ _ _ <br />1926 Gluek Lane Minor Subdivision request PF16-014 response to facts of denial <br />1�Page <br />
