City Council Work Session Meeting Monday,March 19, 2018 Page 9 Mayor Roe commented that the place for that type of language would be on page 7 in the category of Population History, though not a full paragraph. He stated it is always good to have context in any version of the Comp Plan, but brevity is helpful and it is unnecessary to cite treaties and legal documents. Councilmember Etten noted the document from 1849 would show someone who may not understand that there once was a time when covenants disallowed non- Caucasians the ability to buy land. A shortened version of the paragraph on page 7 might provide framework around equity. Councilmember Willmus suggested that as the Comp Plan is a forward-looking document,brevity would be a benefit. Councilmember McGehee pointed out a few typos and graphics/color errors. She brought up the "lens of race" on chapter 3, page 13, which was supposed to be re- ferred to as the "lens of equity." She suggested using the word "lens" consistently while reiterating that she was not partial to the"lens" image. She also pointed out some inconsistency in the future on the forecast charts. Mayor Roe suggested any typographical and formatting errors be sent to the con- sulting staff via email, to expedite the meeting. Councilmember Willmus noted the Met Council has demonstrated in the past that their projections fall short. The historical population of Roseville has been in- credibly consistent over the years and he does not see that changing significantly, especially to the level that the Met Council is predicting. Chapter 4 Ms. Perdu noted changes have been made to the land use map, as directed by the Council. Councilmember Willmus asked for a review of the identified parcels to be sure they are properly identified. Mayor Roe noted that is a constant challenge because there are so many parcels. The Council asked for an explanation of CPTED. Mr. Lloyd noted that this was an attempt to address the concept of CPTED, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Specifically, that approach pays at- tention to landscape design, urban design, enhancing traffic safety and pedestrian safety, and preserving property without opportunities of graffiti.
