ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION page'll Wednesday, July 5, 1989 Barb Anderson, 2922 Old Highway 8 asked if sidewalks would be provided. Keel summarized the pathway policy which would not require pathways on C-2 or Old Highway 8. Keel added, however, that City ordinance requires that sidewalk be constructed in front of all businesses. Bob Brown, 3210 Old Highway 8, asked if there had been traffic studies done for this proposal. Pastorius replied that they obtained County traffic counts. Jan Conn stated that her company has been negotiated on two wooded lots close to this site. Conn stated that the proposed development will make the proposed lots undevelopable for homes because they would be near the service station. Pastorius stated that he would be willing to purchase the parcel to the north to keep as a buffer between the use and the proposed store. Pastorius testified that the resale is determined by such things as market and price and that Roseville is a desirable communi ty and that this operation would not be detrimental of adjacent sites. The owner of 1846 Old Highway 8, President of the Village Townhomes Association, stated opposition to further commercialization of the area, stating concerns about traffic because of the intersection of five streets in the area, safety concerns about kids being attracted to the site, and that there are other stores in the area to meet the neighborhood needs. The owner stated that the property should be maintained as residential. The resident at 3242 Old Highway 8, stated that he had hoped for an upgrading of the area, that the dynamics of change in the area are going toward residential and that he hoped that this proposal would be defeated and that change continued. Harry McKensie stated that the area is changing because of the shift of traffic to Highway 88. McKensie stated that the site is not a proper place and there is no need for convenience store on the site. McKensie presented a petition with 106 names in opposition. McKensie stated that it would be possible to get 6 single family residential sites on this parcel and the one to the north. McKensie stated that he would rather see residential than a convenience store. Mike Mannelly stated the concern about safety for the kids going to the site and questioned the fuel truck impact on the neighbors. Mannelly asked what residents would have to do to get the site rezoned residential.
