Attachment 5 <br />Roseville Parks & Recreation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />DATE:September 2, 2025 ITEM:5.a. <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION:Discuss and Consider a Recommendation Regarding the Aldine Street Right of <br />Way <br />Background <br />At the August 7, 2025, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission held an <br />initial discussion regarding the Aldine Street Right of Way. That conversation provided an <br />opportunity to review the history of the site, hear public comment, and begin outlining the key <br />considerations related to potential future use. Commissioners raised questions about legal <br />implications, community access, and the broader context of the City’s park and recreation <br />system. <br />The September 2, 2025, meeting is intended to build on that discussion and move the <br />Commission closer to a recommendation. Since that initial discussion: <br />On August 21, 2025, several Commissioners toured the site. <br />Staff have prepared an inventory of trees on the site (attachment 4). <br />Staff are working toward an integrated survey that includes topography. <br />Staff have researched accessibility requirements, tree preservation, and other <br />considerations. <br />This information can be used to provide a foundation for the Commission’s decision-making, <br />with a goal of a recommendation for the City Council. The Parks and Recreation Commission <br />has a previously planned joint meeting with the City Council on September 15. This could be a <br />good opportunity for the Commission to check in and: <br />Share their progress on the issue with the council, <br />Share any recommendations that the Commission currently has, and <br />Propose any subsequent steps that the Commission feels would be appropriate to the <br />process. <br />Questions Asked by the City Council <br />Given the complexity of the issue, there is some confusion around what the Commission is <br />being asked to provide input on. Below are several specific questions and/or statements that <br />the Council had as part of their discussion on July 27 (either direct quotes or paraphrased for <br />clarity only) (Meeting minutes, attachment 10). <br />Is this parcel something that the PRC would like to pursue as a park trail? <br />Does this connection provide parks and recreational value? <br />How many trees would need to be removed if a non-traditional path is implemented? <br />I would like a very detailed understanding of the impacts on vegetation and trees. <br />Qbhf!3:!pg!29: <br /> <br />
