ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION page# 3 Wednesday, October 4, 1989 Johnson pointed out to the Commission that Dale has not been improved which will take place at some future time and that the additional right-of-way would have to be taken care of then. DeBenedet asked for verification from staff that the County does need the additional right-of-way and that staff is using the most up to date information. Keel responded that staff is using the County I s master plan for streets that has been provided by the County within the last two years and that to his knowledge there have been no changes in this plan. Maschka stated a concern that once the parking lots are all connected in the rear, that it would become a speedway. Maschka asked if the applicant has considered speed bumps. Reinhardt responded that they would be provided. Maschka asked if Mr. Dale and Lovell also. Reinhardt owned the lot on the corner of Reinhardt replied that he did not. Maschka pointed out that the storage building should have a gate to screen its contents. Reinhardt replied that the storage building has been there for over 25 years and that he had not received any complaints. Reinhardt explained that the contents of the storage area are equipment and materials used to maintain the properties. Reinhardt added that he is not an absentee landlord, that he was born in Roseville and had been here all his life and had received alot of compliments about how well his properties are maintained. Reinhardt stated that the City should be talking only about the property in question. Reinhardt said that Ramsey County did not want the dedication on the north parcel but that he was willing to provide the dedication in lieu of the sidewalk. Reinhardt testified that the City can't be going from one parcel to another parcel in its demands and he is only asking for fair treatment from the city. Maschka stated that the Commission is not trying to be difficult, that they all know that Mr. Reinhardt is a good neighbor. DeBenedet testified that the City has enforced the dedication policy in the past and that the city has to be fair to those who have already dedicated. DeBenedet expressed the opinion that there is not a question that the site should be rezoned because it is a natural progression of the zoning in the area. DeBenedet pointed out the fact that Mr. Reinhardt owns four parcels in a row might cost something but he is also potentially getting the benefit. DeBenedet stated that the requirement for additional right-of-way is being traded for the benefit of a variance for building design.
