<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />Page#10 <br /> <br />Wednesday, April 6, 1988 <br /> <br />Roll Call: <br /> <br />Ayes: <br />Nays: <br /> <br />DeBenedet, Berry, Stokes and Johnson <br />Goedeke, Maschka, and Moeller <br /> <br />Planninq File 1830 <br /> <br />Gerald Kaufhold request for a preliminary plat at 1130 County <br />Road B. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />Dahlgren outlined the location and history of the site. Dahlgren <br />pointed out that the proposed 12 lot plat is composed of 10 <br />single family residential lots, a park lot, and a lot with the <br />existing school which is being leased by the 916 program. <br />Dahlgren informed the commission that there were serious problems <br />with the plat including that there would be more single family <br />residential uses adjacent to commercial uses, the proposal is not <br />a total solution to the site and contains a bad park design. The <br />proposed park represents poor park planning because it is <br />landlocked, too small to meet neighborhood needs, will constitute <br />a safety hazard because of the lack of visibility, will be <br />expensive to maintain, will adversely affect the adjacent <br />residential lots, and it would be incompatible with the purpose <br />and function of the property originally planned in the park <br />system plan. Dahlgren concluded that other, better, options are <br />available and that everybody loses with the alternative proposed. <br /> <br />Johnson read a letter from Bob Bierscheid, Parks and Recreation <br />Director, which stated that the Park and Recreation Board opposed <br />the proposed park plan because it is insufficient, <br />unmaintainable, provides limited community access and is not in <br />the best interest of the city. <br /> <br />Kaufhold testified that this was his only alternative, the <br />proposal is consistent with the zoning and plans of the city and <br />within his right to build. Kaufhold stated that if this plan was <br />approved, he would donate $15,000 to relocate the lights for the <br />hockey rink. Kaufhold added that purchasers of the single family <br />lots would be required to sign a statement indicating that they <br />were aware of his intent to develop the school as commercial in <br />the future. <br /> <br />Kaufhold called attention to the fact that he was finalizing a 2 <br />year lease with 916 which could be renewed annually, and to the <br />fact that the city could purchase additional lots to expand the <br />park. <br /> <br />Tom Dunwell, project architect, outlined the proposal, that the <br />required 10% dedication would be provided, that the proposal <br />meets the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance requirements, <br />
