Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 30, 2023 <br /> Page 15 <br /> Councilmember Schroeder thought the EV station would be handicap accessible <br /> but not marked as handicapped. <br /> Councilmember Etten asked staff if there was any idea what the cost difference is <br /> between a level one and level two EV charging station. <br /> Ms. Gundlach explained when staff had the discussion about EV stations there was <br /> only discussion about the overall cost, and she did not remember the specifics on <br /> the numbers used. <br /> Mr. Miller explained when there was discussion about the level one and level two <br /> charging stations the level one is 110 volt and level two is 120 volt and he did not <br /> think there was a big difference in cost. The level three and the DC charging sta- <br /> tions are substantially higher costs which is why in the recommendations it is level <br /> three or DC can be substituted but the cost is much different than level two. <br /> Councilmember Strahan wondered if this was enough because in the State of Cali- <br /> fornia they are banning gas powered cars after 2035 and she did not see Minnesota <br /> heading in that direction right now. But even a small incremental step where one <br /> in a lot of fifty, is not going to be nearly enough. She was thinking ahead but <br /> thought they needed to round up. She also wondered what the City could require <br /> while potentially meeting the need. <br /> Mr. Miller explained they did look at precedents and at eight cities in Minnesota. <br /> They did not see any that were higher even though Roseville could go higher. He <br /> did understand what Councilmember Strahan was saying and that this could go <br /> higher. He asked if there were any suggestions to be made. <br /> Councilmember Groff thought this was a good start and that in the future, more <br /> may be needed. He liked the idea of having this available to rentals because right <br /> now, some people in rentals are not able to have an EV because there is no place to <br /> charge it. <br /> Mr. Miller continued his presentation on Landscaping and Screening Ordinance. <br /> Councilmember Etten asked if the two trees per two thousand square feet actually <br /> a reduction in the number of trees expected on a high-density property. <br /> Ms. Gundlach thought it would be, but the individual characteristics of every site <br /> would need to be evaluated. <br /> Mr. Miller continued with the presentation on Sustainable Building Zoning Incen- <br /> tives. <br />
