ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Paget 7 Wednesday, April 4, 1990 Ted Brosen, the owner of the building pointed out that there are problems with kids in the area playing at his service station on the corner. Brosen added that what the area needs is a good clean operation like this to provide an alternative place for kids to play. Brosen estimated that the kids in the area are between the ages of 8-15. Berry pointed out that there is no play area at the adj acent apartment properties. Neil Scott, the owner of the apartments north of the Carlisle Apartments on Dale Street, stated that he strongly opposes the game room and video arcade. Scott stated that video rental and carryout food would be OK. Scott expressed his concern about the site becoming a hang out and that would be a bad influence on the family oriented image he is trying to bring about at his apartments. Scott stated his concern that there would be a parking and litter problem in the neighborhood. Scott stated that he is trying to create a quiet family neighborhood atmosphere at the apartment which would be negatively impacted by the proposed use. Scott stated that the owner of the Carlisle Apartments is also opposed to this proposal. Scott submitted a petition from property owners in opposition to the proposal and also a letter from the manager of the Palisades Apartments indicating their opposition. Scott stated that there would be a parking problem because the Carbones Restaurant and a TV shop would have to share the parking in the lot. Scott pointed out that 10 parking spaces would not be sufficient for the three businesses which would result in parking spilling over to the adjacent apartment parking lots because no on street parking is permi tted. He stated that this would hurt Carbones Restaurant because it would limit the opportunity for customer parking. Scott testified that he is attempting to upgrade the tenants in his building and that this type of use would make it difficult for him to do so. Stokes questioned how one upgrades tenants. Scott responded that code problems and police calls have been reduced at the buildings he owns. Scott said that he screens tenants looking for quiet, more family oriented individuals who are respectful of other peoples rights. He also stated that they have been upgrading buildings to attract better tenants. Pat Johnson questioned how many children Mr. Scott had in his apartments and what ages they were. Scott responded that there are approximately 12 children, generally under age 10 in their apartments. Johnson stated that she was trying to determine where the kids, which Mr. Brosen talked about, were coming from.
