Attachment B 1 E XTRACT OF THE J UNE 7, 2023P LANNING C OMMISSION D RAFT M EETING M INUTES 2 a.Request by LHB and Ramsey County Property Management to Consider a Zoning 3 Code Text Amendment to §1001.10, Definitions, and the Table of Allowed Uses (1007-2) 4 of the Institutional District, and to Consider a Conditional Use, all in Support of an 5 Environmental Service Center at 1725 Kent Street (PF23-005) 6 Chair Pribyl opened the public hearing for PF23-005 at approximately 6:34p.m. and reported 7 on the purpose and process of a public hearing. She advised this item will be before the City 8 Council on July 10, 2023. 9 Chair Pribyl indicated she was going to recuse herself and turn over the management of this 10 item to Vice-Chair Schaffhausen. She indicated she works for the firm that is doing the 11 design on this building but is not personally involved. 12 City Planner Paschke summarized the request as detailed in the staff report dated June 7, 13 2023. 14 Member McGehee asked if there was a specific reason why staff chose to make this a 15 conditional use rather than permitted. 16 Mr. Paschke indicated the main reason for the conditional use over a permitted use was when 17 the initial discussion was brought to the Planning Commission there were potential concerns 18 or issues that were raised by Commissioners as it related to an environmental service center 19 and the number of uses. Staff chose to require the conditional use because that is what the 20 Planning Commission had recommended back in 2022. He noted from his perspective it 21 could have gone either way as it related to being permitted but staff felt this was the best path 22 to move forward. 23 Member McGehee noticed that the Director of Public Works had asked for the traffic study, 24 and she wondered if he was privy to the comments that have come in regarding traffic. 25 Mr. Paschke explained he sent the Public Works Director the comments and he is the one 26 that forwarded those to the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer and received the reply that is in 27 the packet. 28 Vice-Chair Schaffhausen asked if this site is currently being used for this purpose. 29 Mr. Paschke explained it is on an annual basis. For a certain number of days there is an 30 interim use permit to allow for the household hazardous waste. 31 Vice-Chair Schaffhausen thought that was reason why the Planning Commission wanted the 32 conditional use for this site. 33 Vice-Chair Schaffhausen invited the applicant to come up to speak . 34 Ms. Lydia Major, Landscape Architect with LHB explained she was at the meeting on behalf 35 of Ramsey County. She added that Ramsey County has done extensive community 36 engagement around both the idea of having an environmental service center and specifically 37 having one at this site and the response has been very positive. This is a facility that will be 38 an amenity to the community, that will help residents of Roseville and beyond and believe 39 this location is very well intended to serve that. She indicated the traffic has increased in the 40 area but does not seem to have a detrimental impact on Larpenteur and to the surrounding 41 intersections. Landscaping will be done and will protect the park and the amenities in the
