City of Roseville Planning Commission Minutes July 12, 1995 Member Harms stated that enforcement is a problem with this kind of regulation. Chairman Wietecki questioned that if I or 2 areas have problems that the city should not legislate changes. MOTION: Member Rhody moved and Chairman Wietecki seconded to continue consideration ofthis item until August 9, 1995 to allow staff to prepare additional background information on this item. 6. (k) Proposed Amendment of the Roseville City Code regarding establishment of minimum standards for emergency vehicle access. Lon Aune highlighted a proposed ordinance amending the city code to establish minimum roadway widths to ensure proper emergency vehicle access to all areas of the city. Mr. Aune indicated that, during the pavement management programs, the city staff has encountered difficulties in certain areas in reaching an agreed-upon design for streets with neighborhoods, because we do not have minimum design standards. Mr. Aune pointed out that planning staff, fire department staff, and engineering staff have been working together to develop a proposed minimum design standards included in the ordinance. Mr. Aune pointed out that the proposed ordinance would have parking restrictions based on roadway width minimum cul-de-sac design standards which would allow 80 and 100 foot diameter cul-de-sacs, criteria for reduced-sized cul-de-sacs, and alternatives to cul-de-sacs. Member Wall asked what diameter is necessary for cul-de-sac with a landscape area in the middle. Mr. Aune responded that they are mostly 100 foot diameter cul-de-sacs. Member Rhody pointed out that neighborhood street cui-de -sacs are used as open space. Member Rhody also indicated that a problem would be if a fire is not located in the cul- de-sac and then the fire department would have to take extra time to turn the equipment around and get out. 22
