ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION December 9, 1992 Paget 3 Roger Sadecki, 667 County Road C, testified that concerns raised at prevlous Commission meetings including spot zoning, density setbacks, greenspace and aesthetics have not been addressed. Mr. Sadecki also pointed out that a broader population is needed and that the proposed housing should be more affordable. Mr. Sadecki testified that the density is not appropriate to the neighborhood. steve Britz, 634 County Road C, stated he would be concerned if Borgstrom property became part of development because he would then be adjacent to the property. He stated he doesn't want to be part of land use change and showed the Commission an 8 lot single family plat which would work on the property. Jim Bodsgard, 720 County Road C, said he moved into the area because of openness of the area and chose to remodel instead of moving away. He opposed high density housing in the area and stated concerns about fire hydrant location and ability of the Fire Department to access the hydrants when cars are parked in front of them. Fred Booth, 626 County Road C, stated he had been through this before and was still opposed to it. He said that a townhouse development should not be dropped into the middle of a single family neighborhood. Dawna Longendyck, County Road C, stated her concern that the development could set a precedent for the vacant property behind her property which would push them out. George Merrill, American Legion, stated that the executive board of the American Legion has no objection to the project. Mr. Merrill added that they would like to see the parcel developed to help eliminate problems with young people on their property. Don Dexter, American Legion, pointed out that the Legion may want to develop their parcel in the future to offset high taxes they pay. He stated that the new development would be something to help continue the philosophy of the legion such as a medical clinic. Mr. Dexter stated they are not in a mood to sell property at this time. ADDITIONAL ISSUES The Commission discussed what building height and density would be allowed under present zoning, setbacks, what precedent approval of this project would set, whether Rose Place was platted through the Legion property, and the purpose of PUD's. Commission members expressed opinions that the proposal was too dense at this point in time, is an enclave in middle of single family area, that additional work on drainage and landscaping is necessary, that there is inadequate setbacks and buffering, and that snow storage issues need to be addressed.
