Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 6,2023 Page 7 since 2009 and loves it. She thought the past Councilmembers had done a great job leading Roseville and showing how outstanding Roseville is as a community. She thought this is one more thing that Roseville can excel in and this sounds like a great model. If Roseville can be outstanding in the area of solving homelessness, that could put the City on the map and people would want to emulate that. She would like to see the Codes amended to fit what they do not see yet as far as changing the narrative for homeless people. Ms. Constance Gruen,2680 Oxford Street N. Ms. Gruen stated she is a person of faith and tonight this is the best adver- tisement she has heard for a church. She would like to take this idea to her church, Centennial United Methodist, that has some land. She did not like to call these solutions creative because they are not from nothing. They do not need to be creative, they need to be adaptable, flexible, and all the rules in their lives were created for certain circumstances. She would appeal to the City Council to write rules that adapt the needs in the community and how better to have an organization that is about community, not a bank, but a church who knows how to tell a community to do this kind of work. Ms. Claire,Ruen,Mid Oaks Lane,Roseville Ms. Ruen explained she is relatively new to Minnesota, she is a friend of Valerie's, and she supports the appeal. She stated it was an incredibly grat- ifying moment when she helped Valerie put her bed in the tiny home and Valerie told her she would not have to sleep at an angle that night. She thanked the Council for considering the appeal. Chair Roe closed the opportunity for public comments with no one else re- questing to speak.He thanked everyone for their comments.He asked if there were any follow-up questions the Board had for staff or for the appealing party. He noted the potential Resolution is attachment G, as provided by staff and could be the basis or model for the motion. He explained that typ- ically, when the Board does things like this, they to findings of fact, that are generally outlined as a part of the discussion. Then the attorney drafts a more formalized documentation of that which is followed up at a subsequent meet- ing. Schroeder moved, Etten seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11971 enti- tled, "Resolution of Decision of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals Re- lated to the Appeal from the Property Owner of 2555 Victoria St. N., Re- garding an Administrative Decision Pertaining to Placement of Illegal Dwelling Units."
