prohibited in 1953 but did remain until 1968 with the Fair Housing Act, which 147 explicitly made it illegal, yet today they can see the outcomes of that with the great 148 racial disparity. They also know that this part of Roseville has the lowest medium 149 household income in the City. Her question is, if the City is going to endorse, 150 recommend this development, where the houses will sell for $475,000 to $600,000 151 each, who can afford that. Which senior citizens can afford that in their retirement 152 for a first level home and which communities of color can afford that when looking at 153 the racial disparities that currently exist. By recommending the approval of this 154 design, the City is reinforcing racial disparity and are contributing to systemic racism. 155 She encouraged them to budget their values. 156 157 Mr. Andrew Montain, South McCarron’s Boulevard, stated he is a few houses down 158 from the proposed development. He wanted to commend the others that spoke ahead 159 of him. He indicated he sent an email to everyone which is included in the packet. 160 He did not think the developers have acted in great faith. He noted he thought the 161 developer was meeting the letter of the law often times but with also some 162 compromises with staff. He did not think the five hundred radius is sufficient when 163 there are neighbors nearby, especially on a large property and there are so few 164 neighbors to contact. He indicated he will continue to inform his neighbors for more 165 input. He indicated these developers are not Roseville citizens and are not members 166 of the community and he thought the City should put some extra weight on what is 167 being heard from the neighbors who are speaking. In his letter he talks about a 168 document that has been referenced multiple times that Maxfield Research produced. 169 Some of the language the developer has used has talked about a need and really the 170 research from what he has read is really about demand and speculating as to how 171 these properties might sell. As a neighbor, he did not think they will sell for what is 172 being suggested there. Roseville has built a lot of senior housing where there is not 173 just single level living but also assisted living. There is a lot of senior housing 174 demand that is being met in Roseville. 175 176 Mr. Montain stated his concern is also about the trees in a lot of ways. He was 177 reading the City Code and Ordinance on tree preservation and it says the tree 178 inventory should be done by a forester or an arborist. He looked it up and the person 179 who did it, the Anderson Companies, Kurt Clays, does not have either of those 180 qualifications listed in his linked in profile. It also says the species should be 181 identified onsite and that has not been done. The trees are listed as maple and oak 182 which are generalizations and not species. Those should be more specific 183 information. He pointed out the length of the road as the maximum being five 184 hundred feet, while he did not oppose the idea of a longer road going into the 185 development, that is a way to circumvent the number of trees that are allowed to be 186 cut. 187 188 Ms. Janet Olson stated she just learned about this and it has been really interesting to 189 hear what the neighbors that are closely affected are feeling. She encourages them to 190 keep talking to the City about these important issues. She asked if South McCarrons 191 Boulevard, the road itself, changing it all and is the trail going along the lake, 192 lakeside, being affected at all. She indicated this is going to be putting a lot of stress 193 on the roads around the development and as far as repairing those roads, who is 194 responsible for that. The trail that is going to cross South McCarrons from the 195 RCA Attachment D Page 4 of 51
