ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Wednesday February 13, 1991 Page 9 provided the concrete. Johnson closed the public hearing. Johnson stated that some consideration is needed for the neighborhood. Johnson asked if Ross had any ideas. Ross stated his willingness on a day to day basis to deal with issues. Ross pointed out that some areas have been addressed and others are an ongoing battle. Ross stated that Tanurb takes issues seriously and that an individual problem tenant would no longer be there under a current proposal. Berry stated that Ross has made every effort to deal with neighborhood concerns but that she was troubled with continuing testimony from residential neighbors about problems at adjacent shopping centers.

Shardlow also stated that it would be appropriate for the Planning Commission to suggest that the Council work with the applicant and the neighbors on the possibility of adding a solid screen wall along the northerly property line and that as part of that, it may be appropriate to eliminate the brick screen wall and have the applicant contribute to the construction of a wall along the property line. Shardlow stated that it was in the best interest of the neighborhood and the applicant to move the application along to the Council. Johnson suggested that the Planning Commission could take action and suggest that staff research the history of the project and
