<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> <br />Page'12 <br /> <br />Wednesday, July 5, 1989 <br /> <br />Johnson pointed out that the property owner has the right to <br />propose commercial development and that staff is attempting to <br />encourage residential on the site. <br /> <br />Bob Brown, 3210 Old Highway 8, stated that in previous items, the <br />commission was focusing on protecting the communi ty . Brown <br />stated that the proposal is not in harmony with the development <br />in the area and does not compliment or enhance the aesthetics and <br />life style of the area. Brown stated that the existing vacant <br />lot with trees is in harmony with the neighborhood and that it <br />should be left in place. <br /> <br />Barb Anderson, 2922 Old Highway 8, stated her concern about trash <br />and gas tanks being filled. Anderson pointed out that fumes from <br />the previous site were ferocious. Anderson asked out long the <br />applicant has owned the site. James Trapp stated that he had <br />owned the site since the 50's. Anderson pointed out that the <br />previous station had burned down and that she had to contact the <br />village about safety problems with the hole that was left. <br />Anderson stated that she didn't want it there and that a better <br />idea for development on the site is necessary. <br /> <br />The property owner of 3246 Old Highway 8, questioned if the site <br />was successful, would the applicant sell the property and if he <br />could control the type of development that would go in there. <br />The property owner stated that the proposal does not enhance the <br />neighborhood, that the owners have not been good citizens and if <br />they continue, it would be a real problem. Pastorius stated that <br />they would consider a sale or a lease back arrangement. <br />Pastorius pointed out that the site has been cleaned up within <br />the last year. <br /> <br />Conner, 3015 Townview, stated that he has to pick up trash now <br />and it would be worse if there was a store there. Mr. Conner <br />stated that the si te should be developed as single family or <br />townhouse and not as business. Pastorius stated that an <br />undeveloped site leads to problem but that if it is developed, <br />the business will work with the neighborhood to keep it clean. <br /> <br />Johnson pointed out that the owner is responsible to keep the <br />site clean even now. <br /> <br />Glenn Anderson, 2922 Old Highway 8, stated his concern about <br />potential for robberies, being a hang out and drag racing, <br />because Police don't patrol that end of town very well. Anderson <br />stated that he would be glad to work with the owners to work on <br />single family development and not commercial development on the <br />site. Anderson stated commercial use will lower property values <br />
