ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 7 Thursday, December 9, 1993 Bev Kroschal, 1085 Grandview, stated that it was hard to get onto Lexington Avenue from Grandview, and the traffic from Lovell uses Grandview. She stated that the plan is a vast improvement from past proposals. Mary Ann Mark, 1039 Grandview, stated that the traffic is the most difficult part of this project, especially at Lexington and Grandview. If this project were approved, what would stop the project from being used as a rental project. No further comment was offered from the public. Chairperson Keith Wietecki closed the public hearing. A general discussion ensued among Planning Commission members regarding density of Calibre Ridge and at other sites throughout the community. The Commission also discussed traffic movements to the north onto Grandview and the amount of headlights that would be flashing into homes along Grandview. Commission members asked for more details regarding open space and the amount of ponding on the site. Member Thomas asked why yield signs are placed on Grandview, and wondered if creative ways could be developed to move traffic. In particular, she asked if Grandview could be designed as a one-way to the east. Chairperson Wietecki expressed concern with the traffic on the site, but understood that more traffic would occur if the project were zoned and used for business purposes. He also expressed concern about the density on the site and said that ten units per acre on their own "footprint" is too dense. MOTION: Wietecki moved, seconded by member Thomas to continue the public hearing to the January 12, 1994, meeting, and asked that the developers consider more creative land uses with the same density and more open space, more details on landscaping, more details on the architectural elevations from the northwest and from the northeast, and more details on storm water and ponding methods. Roll Call: Ayes: Sandstrom, Rengel, Thomas, Wall, Wietecki
