<br />ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Wednesday September 5, 1990 <br /> <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />required. <br /> <br />Jassen, a neighbor, questioned whether the cottonwood was on the <br />lot. She hoped that it would be taken down. Stokes stated he <br />wasn't sure, but liked the cottonwood because of its age. <br /> <br />Bisinski, a neighbor, stated that there would be more people on <br />the same size lot and that if the city let one twin home in, its <br />harder to stop others, further, it looks different than <br />neighboring houses. Kettler stated that the home would be set <br />back in line with the other homes. <br /> <br />Sellsdorf stated that he was worried about the clustering effect <br />of this type of home and the possibility of it becoming a rental <br />property. Durgin stated the same concerns. Kettler stated that <br />he didn't want the unit to become a rental property. <br /> <br />Goedeke commented that the units in Shoreview look good. He <br />questioned whether any of those units were rental units. Kettler <br />stated that they were not. <br /> <br />Rita Edwards testified she was concerned about traffic. She <br />stated there was a bus stop across the street from proposed home. <br />She submitted a letter from Kines, a neighbor. <br /> <br />Shardlow pointed out that neither the Planning Commission nor the <br />City can keep people from renting property. <br /> <br />Edwards said that there was dissent in the neighborhood. He <br />stated that he does not like the proposal. <br /> <br />Goedeke stated that two people he talked to voiced no opposition <br />to the project. <br /> <br />Shark, a neighbor, stated that the proposal could also bring more <br />pets in the neighborhood, causing more problems. <br /> <br />Berry questioned whether they were asking for a rezoning because <br />the project was using a single lot line. Shardlow responded that <br />rezoning is needed because the project is a duplex in an R1 zone. <br />It is adopted policy that whenever a 2 family house goes into a <br />single family neighborhood it is rezoned. <br /> <br />Goedeke stated that the city is in dire need of this type of <br />housing in Roseville, and that it is aesthetically pleasing and <br />good housing. Goedeke moved and Berry seconded to recommend <br />approval of the rezoning. <br /> <br />Roberts commented that this area is zoned single family, that is <br />why people moved into it. He added that the Commission should <br />keep these peoples views in mind when making a decision. <br />
