He indicated that because the proposed quadrirroniuIlls would have destroyed the vegetation, that he had decided to reconsider and is, therefore, proposing to construct the duplexes. He stated that the duplexes would be sold as individual units. Discussion r-1r. Dahlgren indicated that at the tine of review of Mr. Cave's Environrrental AssessITent Worksheet it becane evident that the quadrirronimns would not work on the property and that, in fact, it woold destroy the vegetation and terrain. He felt the quadrirroniurns would have been good for Roseville, but that they simply would not work on the property. Mr. Dahlgren cormented that because of the change to duplexes, the cuI de sac had been reduced in length eliminating the need for any filling along the pond on the north. He also indicated that because duplexes need less lot depth, that the cCITl!tercial property along Rice Street can be increased in depth which will make it more adaptable for ultirrate corn:rercial developrrent. He stated he felt everything about the proposed changes were a plus except for the fact that 12 living lots are lost. Mr. Rukavina ccmnented that he appreciated Mr. Cave's cooperation with the city and the staff and he wished the quadrllroniums . could have been constructed because he felt it would have been gocrl for Roseville.
