ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION December 9, 1992 Paget 2 should be public or private and whether they could be connected to Dale street and snow removal. The Commission also discussed project density and whether the comprehensive plan should be amended to show medium density all the way to Dale street. Citizens Victor stumo, 686 Wheaton, questioned if the ponding area would cause problems and how snow storage would be handled. Mr. stumo stated his concern that the project would deteriorate over time. John Borgstrom, 644 County Road C, questioned what action would be taken tonight and whether the Planning Commission could be bypassed. Mr. Borgstrom expressed concern about the inadequate setback of the driveway and parking adjacent to his property, and stated the road should be 50 feet away from his property. Mr. Borgstrom testified that 2 story buildings do not fit the area and that snow storage and drainage would be a problem because his property is lower. John Foster, 675 County Road C, stated that the neighborhood has organized to protect the neighborhood and questioned how the Commissioners would feel if the development was being proposed in their neighborhood. Mr. Foster also pointed out that they moved to the site because it was a single family neighborhood and that the proposal would change that. Mr. Foster also stated that more appropriate development is possible. Harold Vansicle, 686 County Road C, pointed out that they moved to the area because of the large lots and open space. Mr. Vansicle stated that the project is too dense, that there is inadequate setback adjacent to his property, that the project would add to traffic problems on County Road C, that the design doesn't fit the neighborhood, that the project would an enclave in the middle of a single family neighborhood, and that it would set a precedent which would allow development of the American Legion property. Jan Chelstri, 690 County Road C, expressed concern that the project would result in the loss of open space, wildlife and the park like setting which they moved into the neighborhood for. Karen Foster, 675 County Road C, stated they had moved out of st. Paul to get away from the noise of traffic and dense development of the inner city that the proposed proj ect would create. Mrs. Foster also was concerned that the development would tower over the single family neighborhood. Jill Berquist, 701 County Road C, indicated she just moved into the neighborhood 2 weeks ago and would not have bought if she had known about this proj ect. Mrs. Berquist stated she was concerned it would set precedent and that new development would isolate the neighborhood. She also stated increased traffic would be a problem.
