Roseville Planning Commission Minutes October 2, 1985 Page 4 Berry asked what the definitions were of low and moderate income. Waldron replied that for the Roseville area, low income was up to $25,000 per year, and moderate income was in the range of up to $36,000 per year. Goldstein stated that this results in rents between $600.00 and $900.00 per year. Hanson added that the retired are often more affluent as a result of selling and moving out of their existing home, which becomes a significant asset for them. It also increases the total number of affordable homes in the City, as the elderly move out of moderate priced housing. Berry stated that the extent of the rent costs for such housing troubled her. Matson asked whether there was a need for an outlet in the pond. Waldron replied that yes there was, and that was part of the negotiations relating to the tax increment district. Matson asked if the developers did, indeed, understand that they have to put in a sidewalk. Oberlander replied that they understand this, and fully intend to proceed with a sidewalk. Linda Nelson, from 1349 Brooks, asked where the sidewalks were going to go. Drown replied they will be placed in the areas that he originally stated, and that eventually it is hoped all of the sidewalks in the City will interconnect over a series of years. Wiski asked Ebenezer whether they were investors in the project. Hanson replied that no, they were not. Matson asked the developers about other projects in which they have been involved. Goldstein discussed the Minnetonka project, Lake of the Isles, and five hotels with which they have been involved. Matson asked about the berm on the south, and how high it would be. Thompson replied that basically the berm would be four and one-half feet high, and designed to cover the lower level garage. Matson asked what type of fence was proposed. Thompson replied it would be a four foot high fence, and viewed as a aesthetic type landscape item, more than likely in brick. Matson stated that the neighbors on the south were worried about the water; how is it going to be addressed. Drown replied removal of the old garage will help. Secondly, there is a storm sewer to the southeast that could easily pick up all the water with the appropriate grading. Wiski asked additional questions about the water--as to whether it will all be contained within the parcel. Thompson replied that the grading to the south on the proposed property will be lower than the southern properties, and the water will, indeed, be contained on the parcel.
