<br />Roseville Planning Commission Special Meeting <br />Wednesday, January 26, 1966 . 7:30 P.M. <br /> <br />Members present: Jim Nelson, Linebarger, Anderson, Remsburg, Carpenter, L. Nelson <br />and Membrez. Also present: Grauel, Trustee and Odland, Engineer. <br /> <br />This special meeting was called to give officials of the State Highway Department <br />an opportunity to present their proposed plans of Highway 36 and Highway 35W to <br />the members of the Planning Commission and the property owners residing on Highway 36, <br />Fulham Street and St. Croix Street. These owners attending this meeting are listed and <br />the list is in the file of the village office. One of the main objections was the <br />additional truck traffic which is already a nuisance now. The majority compalined that <br />the Highway Department did a poor job in designing these highways as they are now <br />travelled. It was also stated that some additional right.of.ways will be required <br />as much as 120 feet at the extreme east and gradually narrowing down to 20 feet in a <br />westerly direction toward Fulham Street. Mr. McCubrey of the State Highway Department <br />made notes of these objections and promised to do everything possible to solve the <br />problems mentioned by the residents. No final action was taken on this, at this meeting, <br />by the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />The matter of acquiring the golf course on Hamline Avenue and County Road B.2 was also <br />taken up. The report of Howard Dahlgren, Planning Consultant, was handed out to each <br />member of the Commission. Varied opinions were expressed by each member. There was <br />some concern about the highest and best use of the land, the loss of revenue from real <br />estate taxes, how efficient will the municipality run the golf course, the advantage of <br />buying now with 50% Federal Aid, if the golf course cannot sustain itself sufficiently <br />enough to pay the cost of it out of Revenue Funds, the land could be sold any time later <br />to a private developer at a good profit. It was finally moved by Linebarger, seconded <br />by Anderson to recommend to acquire the golf course and pay for it out of Revenue Bonds. <br />Roll Call, Ayes (3) Linebarger, Anderson and Membrez, Nays (4) Carpenter, L. Nelson, <br />Jim Nelson and Remsburg. The motion was defeated. <br /> <br />There being no further business the meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />George A. Membrez, Secretary. <br />
