ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION page#10 Wednesday, December 6, 1989 Johnson questioned where overflow parking would go. Curiskis answered that they would anticipate no problems because of the type of uses in the building and that if a problem does occur{ parking will be added on the north end of the building. Johnson stated that there was insufficient landscaping along Prior Avenue because only five trees were shown in an area 500 feet long. curiskis summarized the landscaping provided on the site and stated that they didn't want any landscaping on the boulevard because it would block the view of the building. Johnson stated that there could be low landscaping on the boulevard which would not block the view of the building. LeTendre replied that they could do that. Goedeke stated that the use of Russian Olive trees was a problem because they are a messy, bad tree. Curiskis stated that the Russian Olives could be changed. LeTendre stated that they gave six feet for a pathway for the previous proposal. Keel stated that the city got the pathways but could not explain why the city didn't get the full 9-1/2 foot easement. Keel stated that we should get the required 9-1/2 feet for roadway purposes at this time. Johnson closed the pUblic hearing. DeBenedet testified that in areas being redeveloped { property owners have the opportunity to take an old building and put minimal improvements such as repainting into it, change the use of the building to retail and make alot of money. DeBenedet said it was the intent of the City to do a better job of upgrading buildings. DeBenedet added that an interim use such as this { could be there a long time. DeBenedet stated that he would like to see some issues addressed more thoughtfully and that a 30 day delay might be in order. DeBenedet said that detail and quality are important issues. LeTendre stated that a 30 day delay would cause the deal to fall through. LeTendre requested an opportunity to work with staff in the next 2 weeks to work out the issues prior to the Council meeting. LeTendre said that it is not a get rich quick proposition, that they are proposing to invest $300,000-400{000 on the building. LeTendre stated a desire to work with the city to cooperatively resolve any issues. stokes pointed out that the rezoning would add value to the property and he was against the rezoning until a more comprehensive redevelopment is proposed.
