Looking at the current demographic, social, physical, <br /> and economic characteristics is an important step in planning for the future. <br /> Achieving the desired community vision starts with an understanding of the <br /> existing conditions and emerging trends. This section can also be used to help <br /> inform daily decision making and policy by staff and public officials by providing a <br /> clear understanding of the community. <br /> 2. THE i.AND <br /> Geographic and Development History <br /> Roseville's 2002 Comprehensive Plan update has, by far, the most complete <br /> history section of any of Roseville's comprehensive plans. It is in that Plan's <br /> demographic summary chapter, called The Land and Its People. From a natural <br /> history perspective, it begins 500 million years ago, and covers the creation of this <br /> region's glacial terrain. It discusses the basics of the "continental and sub-humid" <br /> climate, and identifies typical topography, soils, and native prairie and hardwood <br /> vegetation. <br /> The Land and Its People also has a very detailed account of the physical <br /> development of Roseville from the mid_191h century through the 20th century. But <br /> the conventional profile of Western European development within Roseville's <br /> natural context is summarized well by the "Historical" section of the Village of <br /> Roseville's 1969 Comprehensive Municipal Development Plan: <br /> ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... <br /> Chapter 3 1 Pagel <br />
