2 <br />The EDA hired Maxfield Research, Inc. to report on housing needs in Roseville. The report is long, but <br />it is important for me to note that there is a difference between 'need' and 'demand'. The report makes <br />this distinction. The need Maxfield Research refer to is often that of seniors needing assisted living or a <br />single-level living. Demand is a calculation of what a market might pay for being offered for sale. <br />Roseville has gone above and beyond to meet the needs of seniors. The demand for housing I see as a <br />distinct issue. I don't see it as the role of the city of Roseville to meet the demand for housing in the <br />surrounding area. <br /> <br />Instead, I would like to see the city emphasize its commitments to being more green, one specific <br />example being the city's Green Step City priority. Especially its Tree Preservation related code. This <br />code is addressed in the documents provided for Feb. 3rd REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION <br />ACTION. Lines 190-201 in that document follow below. <br /> <br />190. Tree Preservation <br />191. 191 The tree preservation and replacement requirements in §1011.04 of the City Code <br />provide a way to <br />192. 192 quantify the amount of tree material being removed for a given project and to <br />calculate the resulting tree <br />193. 193 replacement obligation. The applicant has provided these calculations, and they are <br />included in <br />194. 194 Attachment C. At the time this RPCA was prepared, Roseville’s consulting forester <br />has not yet <br />195. 195 completed an initial review of the tree preservation plan. The applicant’s preliminary <br />calculation, based <br />196. 196 on the proposed development, would elicit the obligation to plant about 300 <br />replacement trees across the <br />197. 197 development site, although Planning Division staff and the consulting forester are <br />continuing to validate <br />198. 198 the data. Should the applicant be unable, or elect not to plant all required replacement <br />trees, the <br />199. 199 ordinance offers one alternative, which is to make a cash-in-lieu payment of $500 per <br />unplanted tree or <br />200. 200 an amount not to exceed 10% of the assessed value of the land (i.e., $583,500 x 10% <br />= $58,350), <br />201. 201 whichever is less. <br />How can we be more green? Here is an opportunity. The wetland preservation was a great step! We can <br />do more. Before I get to that, please hear about how this affect me personally. <br /> <br />I don't like this proposed development. I don't see any benefit to my life. It's hard to see any for my <br />neighbors either, unless it increases property values and they plan to sell soon. It could mean higher <br />taxes, I plan on raising a family here and will be affected. It might benefit slightly residents of the <br />Marion St apartments, but they can already bike/walk through an apartment parking lot to Galtier St. and <br />cross S McCarrons Blvd there safer than they could where the bike path is proposed. Of course, the <br />development will expand Roseville's tax base, and hopefully benefit the new residents. I see the value of <br />development. Yes, I wanted the developer to do a much better job informing residents and addressing <br />their concerns, but it's not too late to compromise for the residents and the environment in the following <br />ways. <br /> <br /> <br />RCA Attachment D <br />Page 29 of 51
