0 Physical real estate and development b. Corporate headquarters, engineering, lab, testing, sales and accounting for manufacturing firm with 100+ employees, located in the industrial park area. • We like this zoning here. Need to keep industrial zoning in the industrial park. Businesses here don't want to be next to residential, they aren't compatible from a safety or noise perspective. • We chose Roseville for its centrality and access via multiple freeways and the industrial zoning. • Roseville's diverse housing stock is good for attracting a variety of workers. d. Small service business located in HarMar, BIPOC owned • Good location, central for Roseville, most of my customers are from Roseville. e. Contractor based in industrial park, 120 to 150 employees on -site. • The centrality of the Roseville industrial park and freeway access are great. You get the benefit of proximity to both Minneapolis and Saint Paul without being in either one. • Langton Lake and the walking trail are a nice amenity for our staff. • Stay on top of realistic expectations for incorporating electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Pacing it is important.... not too fast so it's a burden, not to slow. Phased. • It would be helpful to have a node in the industrial area with some small retail service businesses so employees could run quick errands and access some things they might need. • Parking ratios in employment areas are changing. There's a need to evaluate them after the pandemic. Probably need to wait a little bit for the "work at home" situation to stabilize a bit, then the city should look at changing parking ratios. Ultimately lender requirements are going to be a key factor in how much the parking ratios change. g. Roseville service organization operating a restaurant and bar • We'd like to be able to work something out with the city on better signage. f. Roseville, resident with counseling business located in Roseville office building. • The office building, where I am located near Hamline Avenue is somewhat dated, but filled with a number of small businesses. • Trash around HarMar and potholes should be addressed. There are other commercial properties where the potholes and maintenance of the parking areas are really bad. It's not safe and it's not a good image for the community. i. Small BIPOC retail/service business located at Lex and Larpenteur • Our landlord hasn't been very responsive about the huge potholes in the parking lot. This makes the area look shabbier and isn't safe for customers crossing the parking lot. j. Manager of mall located in Roseville • Roseville is one of the best locations in the metro due to its proximity to both Minneapolis and St. Paul. It's important to re -invest and to have high design standards to keep the community looking good. There are some areas like the escape room behind the DoubleTree in the industrial area that are looking tired. • When creating design standards and other regulations, it's important to think about the maintenance costs that businesses will incur as well as the upfront capital costs. 7 Page 132 of 140
