ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION page#ll Wednesday, October 12, 1988 Waldron reminded the Commission that they would be recommending denial that they should support it with findings of fact. Dahlgren pointed out that if the opposition is to the rec site and financing that these can be separated out in the Planning Commission's recommendations. Dahlgren also testified that the city hasn't changed its basic park system since 1960 and that there has been considerable increase in needs which this proposal could fill. Johnson stated that based on the Lexington School experience, that a compromise proposal will come for this site. Moeller asked if this proposal is denied what the time period would be before a new proposal could be presented. Dahlgren responded that the ordinance states that there be six months time period unless substantial change in plan is made. Berry stated that the six months time period is important to allow adequate cooling off time period. Berry moved and Maschka seconded to recommend denial of the proposed change in comprehensive plan from school to high density residential and low density residential based on the following: 1. The proposal does not clearly address or resolve water pressure and fire protection problems. 2. Traffic generated from the proj ect will adversely affect traffic conditions on adjacent roads. 3. The traffic volumes will affect safety of children walking to Central Park Elementary School. 4. The project was subject to extensive neighborhood opposition. 5. The issue of the City purchase of the school and 10 acres for a recreation center should be separated completely from the housing project. 6. Proposed density of the development is inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhood. Roll Call: Ayes: Berry, Goedeke, Stokes, Maschka, DeBenedet, Johnson Nays: Moeller
