Waldron pointed out Council did concur with the Planning Commission's study this particular item. the potential that the request to Waldron informed the Planning Commission that there have been some staff changes in the Finance Department, thus the study will certainly be completed as staff time permits. Berry stated her concern with respect to enforcement of landscape provisions, and gave an example relating to the Fuddrucker's, MGM, Dusty's, Stuart Anderson area where a significant number of the required landscape items have died. Demos pointed out that the Code Enforcement Department is very busy at this time of year. Waldron stated that he would discuss the Planning Commission's concerns with the City Manager and Code Enforcement regarding the landscape problem. Maschka stated his concern regarding the extended hours of the previous Commission meetings, and pointed out there should be a means to cut off debate. Demos stated that in her opinion, it is quite difficult to exercise good judgment after 11:30 p.m. It would be helpful to limit discussion to planning issues. Demos pointed out how she limited debate at the Council meeting that addressed the Northwestern College and Rosepointe proposals. Johnson asked why have the audience ask the same questions that the Planning Commissioners have already asked. Goedeke stated he attended the Council meeting, and thought the time limitation worked extremely well. Johnson stated that it was not necessarily appropriate for the Arden Hills representatives to address the Planning Commission, and that the other Planning Commission members could help the Chairman identify those individuals that are not Roseville residents. Berry stated that it may be time for a joint work session with the City Council, particularly in view of the number of new Commission members. DeBenedet stated in his viewpoint, the Planning Commission is well organized, and the process in Roseville is good. He did state that the applicant should probably be limited to a five minute presentation, and some of the discussion should be cut back, but not to the point that it limits serious input. Wiski pointed out that he supports access to the Planning Commission, and has a strong bias in that direction. Johnson pointed out that by allowing too much access, one could possibly limit others that are waiting for a particular item on the agenda.
