Caroline Cash, 2743 Dellwood, why is Scott Bergs of Falcon Heights on the Task Force? Mike Flanagan, 1016 Woodhill Dr., asked if nothing will happen in 4 years? Can the City say there is a "sense of pride" in the community? Karla Miller, VFW member, asked why the residents at the meeting were not asked to participate? Delores Ford, 2734 Dellwood, asked what guarantee is there that the City Center District will not be expanded in the future? Member Wilke asked if the Task Force was asked to study a specific site? (Lexington and C). Member Egli noted that the 1994 Comprehensive Plan did specify this area? Steve Webster asked why the mobile home court was not brought up as a strip center? Why re-zone to high density? Laurie Carr, 2733 Dellwood, noted that Roseville has small parks and projects; when considering a City Center, would it change the scale? If zoning changes, will the requirements not change? Jean Urman, 1025 Woodhill Dr., asked for clarification regarding zoning. Pam John, MnDOT, stated that she had not heard of the mass transit proposal. What action would be taken to establish an ordinance regarding the mobile home court? George Warner, 2658 Huron St., asked what would be the zoning of Howard Johnson Park? John Kyslycian, Victoria Ave., asked for details of the cost of the consultant contract? What is the final cost? When is the final phase of the Task Force? (In the year 2000) What is down grading of zoning in the mobile home park? Sheila Mahnken, mobile home park, asked why the process is reversed? What are the number of years to build a city center? Why did the Task Force not look at St. Paul Recreation Centers? Why is there a "market place" included? Why is the area south of "C", west of the mobile home park not included? Who are the organizations that will be contacted to provide input? Why should businesses pay for renovations? Not many of the organizations listed were located in the study area. Did resident or city needs start the process? Wendell Brown, Griggs Ave., explained that the Task Force has planned and fairly treated the topics. Dick Houck, 1133 Roselawn, stated this is premature because all Roseville residents have not been told what will happen and what it will cost. Nine months planning is too short of a time. He explained that the city previously held citywide meetings on the road reconstruction. Table this. Do not give the City Council a recommendation. Take no action. Bill Lonsky, 2725 Dellwood Ave., stated no action should be taken. Postpone your recommendation and vote. This is a confusing project. Why should the vote be biased by the Task Force? Karen Bahniman, Lexington Ave., said she was opposed. George Warner, 2658 Huron St., stated the project was premature and should not be recommended. The area should be smaller and include only the city site. John Kyslycian, Victoria St., stated that the issue should be tabled. There are questions to be answered. The area is too large, should start smaller and with a finite plan. The Burlington Northern line will be abandoned. The state and state agencies, then county have first options on the railroad line. Light rail time-lines are a guess. There are assumptions that have been made. The trailer park ordinance (ss327c) is unclear. The county sheriff and state may ask to build a building on the city center site. The county wants a countywide dispatch and police facility with jail and courthouse. Buildings are not a source of pride. Karla Miller, 2133 Avon St., said she was not allowed to speak at the Task Force meetings. She is a VFW and American Legion member and bikes to work. She likes Roseville as it is. Tonya Lafollette, 2599 Lexington, asked the Planning Commission to think of the people who this will impact. No further comments were offered. Chair Klausing closed the public hearing.
