<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />Paget12 <br /> <br />Wednesday, July 13, 1988 <br /> <br />Johnson stated that the commission should, in her opinion, take <br />action on this item this evening. <br /> <br />Berry stated that she agreed that action should be taken, and <br />pointed out that the value of land is increasing in the city, and <br />the value in this area is becoming to expensive to park trucks <br />on. Berry said she was not in support of multifamily uses around <br />the lake. <br /> <br />Maschka testified that mUlti-family doesn't make sense, that he <br />would support taking it out. Maschka added that the city should <br />leave industrial use so that people know what they have. <br /> <br />Stokes testified that industrial zoning adjacent to single <br />family zoning doesn't make sense, and that ideal there should be <br />a buffer zone. Stokes stated that residential zoning should be <br />there because other, more undesirable uses could locate in the <br />existing industrial area. <br /> <br />Maschka stated that the neighborhood has expressed the desire to <br />leave the strip north of Terrace Drive as is. The city can react <br />to other proposals as they come up, while giving the neighborhood <br />assurance of what will be there. <br /> <br />Johnson pointed out that Centennial Drive is multi-family now. <br /> <br />Moeller agreed with the residential buffer and stated that it <br />doesn't make good sense in the long range plan to leave the area <br />as industrial. <br /> <br />DeBenedet inquired what the alternatives were which were being <br />presented. Dahlgren reviewed the alternative land uses shown on <br />the plans. <br /> <br />Goedeke indicated that he was more comfortable with a flexible <br />list of alternatives which include all three alternative land <br />uses. Goedeke stated that when developers come in and hearings <br />occur, the ci ty could decide then what happens in each area. <br />Johnson responded that was really not an option. Dahlgren stated <br />that zoning defines uses, and that it was important to decide if <br />there was to be housing or not. Dahlgren stated that you can't <br />mix housing with office uses. <br /> <br />Johnson testified that housing has caused the problems and <br />opposition from the neighborhood, and that in her opinion, <br />current projects being proposed in other areas would take care of <br />the city's mUlti-family needs. <br />
