Member Spencer indicated an email was sent to the Commission by somebody who <br />wanted the City to consider a path on Fairview and he wondered if staff was going <br />to respond to the person or how this should be handled. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained there are some segments being built this year with the <br />credit union and there are also some additional developments that have some <br />segments. Ramsey County is part of the B2 project and are going to make some of <br />those connections. There will still probably be a gap north of there but that is a gap <br />the City can look to fill in and complete. <br />Member Spencer indicated with the pathway going over the ditch, thinking about <br />stuff like that and thinking about the pedestrian pathway over 35, he wondered if <br />the City has every thought about partnering with companies to sponsor certain <br />segments. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained he did not think staff ever discussed naming rights or <br />any sort of cooperative thing with businesses or other property owners. <br />Mr. Culver noted the City could look at something such as adopt a trail program for <br />litter control and maybe even snow control. This is something to consider. <br />Mr. Matthew Anderson, Anderson Law Group, PLLC, 1010 Dale Street North, <br />Attorney representing residents of Roseville that live on McCarron Boulevard. He <br />indicated he wanted to talk about the Tamarack Trail Segment. He made a short <br />presentation to the Commission about the residents' opposition to the proposed <br />path. <br />Chair Wozniak thanked Mr. Anderson for the presentation. <br />Member Ficek asked if the homes have driveways on the McCarron's side or is this <br />their only access to their garages. <br />Mr. Anderson was not sure, but he thought they all had McCarron's facing <br />driveways. There is one homeowner that has lived in this area since before <br />Roseville was incorporated and his first garage was the one in the back which he <br />has been using consistently all of the years he has lived there. He noted there are a <br />few properties he represents where the only way to access the back of their property <br />is from Wagner Street. <br />Chair Wozniak asked what environmental harm Mr. Anderson is asserting that the <br />pathway would cause that is not already present in the current land use. <br />Mr. Anderson explained when listening to the description of what goes into a <br />pathway with at least six inches of base and then on top of that another two to three <br />inches of asphalt and at least at eight feet wide, the City is filling a wetland and the <br />City is losing wetland at a rapid pace as he showed in his presentation.
