Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 12,2018 Page 10 Mr. Slack reviewed the three groups who have been involved in the planning to date. Three individual pop-up meetings were held, one focused in each communi- ty. Three public workshops were also held that were fairly well attended. A lot of interviews with property owners and developers also contributed to the process. There was a dual-track planning process with the ULI that aligned with the rec- ommendations developed by Roseville. After about three days of having intense conversations in the community, the ULI folks reinforced what staff and consult- ants had already gathered and confirmed its recommendations. Mr. Slack noted that in the process, design principles were identified. A design concept was developed, all of which are included in the documents. Every time a recommendation was made, the original principles were referenced to be sure the recommendations were staying close to the vision. Mr. Slack then highlighted the four components of the framework plan: • Public realm and open space • Redevelopment and reinvestment • Movement and access • Character and built form Mr. Slack continued that in this planning process, the goal was to simplify a lot of conversations and translate them into "big ideas," because of the amount of input received: • connecting the gateway and the lake; • enhancing the public realm,to create a safer environment for pedestrians; • creating a Marion Greenway; • tame the streets; • make it walkable(safe crossings at reasonable intervals) • create a park at the heart. Public Realm and Open Space Mr. Slack continued that a lot of feedback was given regarding creating family- friendly gathering spaces at Lake McCarron's Regional Park, including: picnic benches, shelters that can be rented, access to the lake, fishing areas, and add pro- gramming to the park. Redevelopment Sites Mr. Slack noted that the vision document guides the potential for what various re- developments might be, should property transition into different hands. The rec- ommendations in the document could be applied to any site, even those not identi- fied in the graphic. But the document does identify key sites: • Margolis Nursery Site: specifically, new residential units of different types (high-, medium-, and low-density);
