Roseville Planning Commission Minutes August 5, 1987 Page 5 Planning File 1787 Gerald Kaufhold request for rezoning, Comprehensive Plan Amend- ment, preliminary plat, and variance at 1130 County Road B. Presentation Dahlgren discussed the site, and showed the right-of-ways that would be required to facilitate the development. He discussed how this project was a major part of the park system, and this would leave a major hole if this recreational area was lost. He discussed the proposal of the developer, that includes an antique mall on the School site, an office that would entail the auction house, and a park to the southwest of the development. Dahlgren pointed out that the figure being proposed to the City relating to the park is extremely high for a park purchase. Dahlgren stated that the ball park is important in terms of providing a buffer for the neighbors to the south. Dahlgren discussed the fact that the City Council has proposed to accept the cash for the dedication, based on the current price that is being proposed. He also pointed out that additional negotiations could occur that may result in other arrangements. Dahlgren also discussed his proposal for a fifty percent land dedication relating to School facilities which, subsequently, was not approved by the Council. Johnson informed the audience that this was simply the first step in the formal process relating to the City review of this project. She emphasized that the Planning commission was extremely interested in finding a solution for this site, and that the Planning Commission would take the proper time to review and learn the neighbors concerns regarding this project. Waldron discussed the City Council's recent position with respect to this proposal. He pointed out that based on the price that is being proposed for the parkland, the Council would opt for the cash equivalent of the dedication if the plan were approved as proposed. He pointed out that it was not the Council's intent to prejudge the plan as proposed, but simply state its position relating to the cost of the parkland. Jody Yungers discussed the various park sites throughout the City, and pointed out the Recreation Department's concern as it relates to this area. She also pointed out that the ball field cost was simply too prohibitive in this area, and it may be more appropriate to use the funds in another area such as the Bruce Russell Park. Maschka asked for a clarification of the park dedication require- ment, which Dahlgren and Waldron proceeded to clarify.
