ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Page#10 Wednesday, October 5, 1988 Adams stated that the people in the neighborhood had met and that a petition in opposition to the project had been signed by 60-70 people. Johnson inquired if any neighborhood meetings have been held. Tramm responded that 2 meetings have been held in the past. Johnson asked if there had been discussion of concerns with the neighborhood. Tramm responded that the concerns were with the previous proposal with multi-family and attached units and that this plan responds to those concerns by only having single family dwellings. Kieger testified that the first neighborhood meeting was right before Thanksgiving and it was difficult for people to attend. Kieger pointed out that the second meeting was well attended and there was opposition to the plan. Kieger stated that 4 homes close together was a problem and while only one or two homes should be developed on the site. Kieger also commented that the proposed roadway would be a problem because it was so close to the intersection of victoria and County Road B. Adams read the petition and presented it to the commission. Sheila Gilson, 2175 Victoria, stated that originally she was hoping to build a new house of the new back lot but can't afford it now because she's divorced. She stated she now would like to give others a chance to live in Roseville and get the money from the sale of the lot. Gilson testified that she feels bad because of the neighborhood concern but that if the development is up to code she should be allowed to sell off the back of her lot. Gilson testified that the petition may be misleading because it talks about substandard homes. Richardson stated that the petition was not misleading but self explanatory. Herb Bennett, 2189 N. Victoria, stated that this is the worse thing presented in the neighborhood and that he doesn't want to see a development like this devalue the other houses in the neighborhood. Richardson asked what assurance the neighborhood has that it would be developed as proposed and pointed out that the victoria place project had numerous different developers before something was built. Johnson responded that the development has to be built according to the approved plan.
