ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Paget 2 Friday August 19, 1988 DeBenedet pointed out that the existing bituminous is breaking up and that concrete curbing should be provided because others have been required to do it in similar situations. Grant testified that it would be cost prohibitive for them to put in concrete curbing because of the expense of the other improvements that they are putting into the building. Grant stated that they would be removing the island which projects into the parking area and repairing the existing blacktop. DeBenedet asked what the plans for landscaping were. Grant outlined areas where additional landscaping might be provided. Jim Donicht, stated that the provision of sidewalk would cause the removal of existing landscaping. Jopke stated that speifications for the project listed $5,000 as the amount for landscaping. DeBenedet asked staff what the applicant would be required to submit in the way of landscaping plans. Dahlgren responded that staff would review a landscape plan which the applicant would propose and suggest changes if necessary. Dahlgren added that $5,000 dollars of new landscaping materials would be okay, but if the $5,000 was also being used for curb repair, then insufficient landscaping would be provided. Grant asked the commission not to specify a dollar amount for landscaping. Johnson commented that the city would be looking for good landscaping and not just a few small plants. DeBenedet stated his concern that the $5,000 dollars would not be enough to provide sufficient landscaping. Grant responded that they would cooperate within reason. Johnson said that she was concerned that the city would not be consistent with past actions if they do not require curbing on the complete parking area. Waldron informed the commission that he was in the process of negotiating with the applicant concerning possible use of tax increment financing to assist them, and that the installation of curbing could possibly be a eligible cost.
