REDA Meeting Minutes—Tuesday,October 17,2017 Page 7 sites among each other, but simply using bullet points instead of numbers, since one or more may rise to the top before another no matter their priority. Member McGehee agreed with Member Laliberte about the Lexington/Larpenteur area as an enclave of small buildings and residents that are often overlooked (e.g. Greenhouse Village development), but characterized around smaller, modest, single-family homes on smaller lots while also serving a lot of multi-family apartments. Therefore, Member McGehee expressed interest in not seeing that area develop outside that small business aspect but remain appropriately sized for similar uses and how the community functions in that area, including walkability and sidewalks. President Roe agreed with the need to service that area and address walkability, suggesting it may be an appropriate area for using mixed use, such as apartments above retail. In general, Member Willmus stated his agreement with his colleagues. However, Member Willmus called attention to his preference to prioritize these areas, given the limited resources available and to have some context for focus and positioning the city to respond when partners came along. Regarding Sites 1 and 2, Member Willmus stated that he considered those his priority areas. Specific to the Rice Street/Larpenteur Avenue area, Member Willmus agreed with President Roe, and referenced past conversations to extend north on the Rice Street corridor up to County Road C-2 on the Roseville side. Member Willmus questioned the need to highlight the former armory site, opining that with proper zoning the site was more likely to redevelop naturally rather than through city efforts. Regarding Site 5, Member Willmus expressed no concern with including that site to consider commercial/industrial development. Member Willmus concurred with President Roe's comments to look at businesses on the west side of Snelling Avenue and making connections for better flow, including the Target site as this plan looked long-term as well as satellite locations adjacent to this site to keep an eye on. President Roe opined that he considered the Pacal site (#5) to be at the lowest spectrum. However, President Roe suggested consideration be given to the area generally along Long Lake Road west and north of County Road C, with some fairly new redeveloped sites along with some in need of attention. President Roe questioned if that area had been considered of if ruled out, sought the rationale in doing so.
