Member Rhody asked is there was a change in the development team. (one member). Are there changes in the marketing? (no). Member Egli asked about the change in cost of the new proposal. Member Egli asked where the photo view was taken from. Will all the trees be there after construction? What is the height allowed on the site? Member Egli asked for details of the open space - up to 50% of the site must be open space - how would that be obtained? Chair Klausing asked for clarification on the percent open space; the percent of open space in the previous site. Member Olson asked for details of definition of open space (all green, ponding, vegetation). Member Cunningham asked why other designs were ruled out. Jean Knaack noted that townhomes spread over the entire site. Another alternative had four-story buildings which were not acceptable. The possibilities included an attached senior building adjacent to the church. A project was also reviewed at the southeast corner of the site, which created circulation problems on the site. Member Olson asked for details with engineering staff regarding retaining walls and ponding in comparison to the original proposal. This proposal will fit the site better but more details are necessary. Members asked for details on water capacity and fire access that will be completed as part of the final drawings/designs. Member Egli noted that the existing bike path would be infringed upon. Mr. Pollock estimated the distances to the pathway. Member Rhody asked for clarification of the ownership of the land under the path. Mike McCarthy, 2581 North Fisk, asked if the main impetus is parking; what is the net increase in parking. Jean. Knaack said 151 spaces now, 192 proposed, with shared parking at the senior site. Brent Martin, 2569 Fisk, asked 1. What guarantees the City has that this project will be low to moderate income? 2. Will this project lower property values? 3. Will units facing County Road C be saleable? 4. What happened to hiking paths from County Road C corner? 5. What are parking spaces on hill - how will seniors be able to walk across tiered parking. 6. How will this be different from other project - how many Roseville residents will acutally live on the site? Answers by Jean Knaack: 1. This is not low cost housing, there are no guarantees on construction costs; this is moderate cost housing. 2. (&3) The project will not impact adjacent properties, housing is further away. 4. The hiking path is a "cut-through", what would happen to it? The neighbors from the northeast will use the path. Prince of Peace will work with the City to provide access or move the path to railroad right- of-way. 5. The parking along the south will be flat. 6. The Church cannot exclude "outside" citizens, and has been making a list of Roseville residents. Mark Goheen, 905 transit, asked: 1 . Who is the developer 2. What is the length of the east and north side 3. What is hiking versus biking trail 4. What path would be re-routed, when, if still active 5. How many units are in the building? (56)
