As you are aware, the City of Roseville has for many years cooperated with Ramsey County in the implementa- tion of the major street plan as development subdivisions or changes occur along the county roadways. As such, we hope to join you in avoiding consi- derable cost to the public in the future by not, at that time, having to pay a considerable sum for properties necessary for the transportation. Our approach is to follow your master plan and assist in its implementation. In the case of the Robbins property, a request for a planned unit development was made and as part of our processing did, indeed, request the additional ten feet of right of way for Victoria Street, as per your master plan. If the county board waives the requirement for this parcel for right-of-way dedication, then the City of Roseville would no longer request the right of way be dedicated. As we have discussed in the past, in these cases the uncertainty of exactly how much right of way would specifically be needed in the foreseeable future, is always difficult to ascertain. In reviewing the particular location, I find the following: 1. The roadway in this section is considerably narrower than * to the south with aggregate Fhoulders. 2. No curb and gutter exists. 3. No storm drainage facilities exist. 4. This roadway is on the official Ramsey County bike path system, al- though no bike paths are currently inplace. 5. This roadway is on the official Roseville pathway system, similarly with no facilities currently inplace. 6. Development is pending on the vacant property to the north of the Robbin'sparcel of a similar narrow strip of land. The decision on this parcel should be thought through thoroughly so that parcels, such as Mr. George Reil- ing's, and potentially others could be treated consistently and fairly as they develop to avoid having fragmented right-of-way widths. I would also request that you would discuss with your staff this situation of approving the equivalent of a plat which identifies buildings already existing on county right-of-way. Dedication to the master plan would, of course, result in an additional ten feet of intrusion into the structure. Your staff's inter- pretation of the latter question may potentially impact how the City of Rose-
