REDA Meeting <br /> Minutes—Tuesday,July 18,2017 <br /> Page 2 <br /> that meeting. Ms. Koch acknowledged that those comments and concerns <br /> were similar to expressions any time an affordable housing project is proposed <br /> and common affordable housing opposition points. As would become evident <br /> in tonight's presentation and LWV suggestions, Ms. Koch encouraged the city <br /> to continue planning ahead and being proactive in pursuing HDR housing in <br /> Roseville. <br /> Ms. Koch introduced another member of the LWV to provide her personal <br /> history as the daughter of a former City of Roseville Mayor during <br /> development of the Coventry Apartment complex in the community as just one <br /> example of ongoing opposition points and frequent misconceptions. <br /> Executive Director Trudgeon thanked the LWV for the report; and clarified <br /> that current city code included a crime free addendum as referenced in Chapter <br /> 511 (Repeat Nuisance Ordinance) and current exemptions and similar language <br /> in the crime free ordinance. While the intent was there, Mr. Trudgeon opined <br /> that based upon his initial review, there may be further language refinement <br /> and amendments needed to bring any discrepancies into sync. Mr. Trudgeon <br /> asked Ms. Koch where the information regarding an "obligation to evict <br /> criminals"had come from; with Ms. Koch responding that it had been included <br /> in the student report. <br /> President Roe advised that he had also reviewed city ordinance in response to <br /> the LWV report, stating that related to crime free housing provisions, he found <br /> no specific reference if someone was accused, but not convicted, of a crime <br /> that it counted. President Roe noted that the city had worked extensively with <br /> the Minnesota Multi-Family Housing Association in development of the city's <br /> ordinance, since they served as a proponent of that type of lease provision; <br /> expressing his hope that they had reviewed their recommendations <br /> appropriately and legally. However, as noted by Executive Director Trudgeon, <br /> President Roe agreed that it was worth looking into further. <br /> Specific to the previous proposal before the city from the Sands Companies, <br /> President Roe stated his consideration of including open house requirements <br /> for market-rate apartment buildings similar to that used for other developments <br /> and land use decisions. While there is not a requirement at this time from the <br /> City Council's policy perspective, President Roe opined that especially in <br /> instances where city assistance may be sought for the affordable housing <br /> component, it may be helpful to engage residents early on in the process before <br /> the application process went forward. When this open house process was <br /> initiated for land use issues, President Roe noted how it had reduced those <br /> expressing surprise at a project and clearly demonstrated the success of <br /> engaging the public early on. Therefore, President Roe directed staff to <br /> include the City Council's review of the potential in these other types of <br /> development and of engaging people in a positive way to influence decision- <br />
