<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />page#ll <br /> <br />Wednesday, April 6, 1988 <br /> <br />provides necessary utilities and that the lots have been adjusted <br />to provide the required set back from the school. <br /> <br />Tom Turba, 1170 Burke Avenue W., questioned if the lots would <br />be sold individually, who puts in the utilities, how many trees <br />would be lost, the cost of the lease with 916, the value of the <br />Lot 11, and what the future of the auction house was. Kaufhold <br />responded that the lots would be sold to individual owners for <br />between $45,000 and $50,000. Kaufhold also stated that he would <br />be looking for a new location for his business int he future and <br />that the cost of the lease and Lot 11 was not relevant. <br /> <br />Mary Bakeman, 1178 County Road B W., testified that she was <br />concerned about the loss of the open space and wondered what <br />access would be provided to the park from the north. Dunwell <br />answered that access was moot because the City won't accept the <br />park. <br /> <br />Bakeman inquired if the Rose Gallery would continue to use the <br />school lot illegally for its business. Kaufhold replied that he <br />does not use the lot nor does he encourage his customers to do <br />so. <br /> <br />David Jaehne, 1171 Eldridge Avenue W., inquired if temporary <br />access could be provided to the park. Kaufhold indicated he <br />would consider it if the City assumed responsibility for it. <br /> <br />Turba agreed with Dahlgren's concerns including not knowing what <br />was going to happen with the school structure, problems with the <br />park, and that not all options have not been explored. <br /> <br />Bakeman stated she was sad about losing open space, because no <br />alternative exist, that neighborhood feeling would be lost and <br />that she was concerned about what happens after 916 leaves. <br />Bakeman said that single family use was better than commercial, <br />but she would prefer open space. <br /> <br />Jaehne testified that he doesn't blame Kaufhold for not wanting <br />to lose on the deal, but that he also doesn't want to lose the <br />park. Jaehne commented that the city should buy the parkland for <br />the future. <br /> <br />Kaufhold testified that the city has never offered to buy <br />parkland, that he has the right to plat the property, that the <br />proposal conforms to the city standards and that he felt the city <br />was trying to stall to make it difficult for him to purchase the <br />property. <br /> <br />Johnson closed the hearing. <br /> <br />Johnson suggested that it is important to follow advice of the <br />
