ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Page# 9 Wednesday, December 7, 1988 which would result in the need for a parts runner. Peterson responded that there is sufficient storage on the site and that they would utilize a racking system inside the building. Moeller said that he was concerned about the future use changes which would result in parking problems because no other parking is available. Peterson replied that they are dealing with a good National company, that there would be a fifteen year lease with the opportunities for 2 five year extensions and that there would also be the potential for the vacation of the street in the street to provide additional parking. DeBenedet pointed out that additional land would only be available if substitute access is provided and that if the site doesn't work, the tenant will leave. Peterson responded by saying that they would be willing to come back before the city if another use goes in. Peterson commented that if they take two doors off, the development would comply with all standards and city approval would not be necessary. Dahlgren pointed out that a rezoning would still be necessary. Stokes asked if the applicant could develop a bigger, better use on the site if the additional land were made available. Dahlgren pointed out that there is a better use potential on the site and that this situation was a perfect use for tax increment financing. Peterson stated that they have tried to come up with a proposal for the whole corner and that tax increment financing doesn't work. Peterson added that it was an expensive piece of property to sit on, that they could remodel the site but would rather build a new better facility there. Johnson pointed that it appears to be a band-aid solution to the problems on the site. Dahlgren informed the Commission that the problem was that not enough development is being proposed to make the tax increment financing work but that other alterative solutions are possible. Bill Sievers replied that they found that taking all of the site, only 14,000 sq. feet could be developed which didn't work because the land costs were too high. Johnson closed the public hearing. Johnson stated that she wouldn't support the proposal because it was not a total solution to an important site in the city.
