Chair Rhody opened the hearing and requested Thomas Paschke provide background as per the project report dated January 2, 2002. Each year in December/January the Roseville Planning Commission and City Council affirm the Comprehensive Plan changes that have occurred during the previous year. During the year, public hearings are held on all plan changes before the Commission and Council approve them. Most amendments are then sent to the Metropolitan Council for their review (if they have not been sent earlier). In order to keep track of amendments to the Plan, the Planning Commission has annually scheduled a hearing on the affirmation of the changes. If approved, the changes are included on an addenda sheet in the front of the Plan. The Planning Commission is also required by State Statute 462.356 to hold a public hearing to review and determine whether the City of Roseville Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the upcoming year (2002) is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. On November 14 and December 12, 2001, the Community Development Department presented the Commission with information regarding the 2001 reaffirmation of the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Capital Improvement Plan. Since those two hearings, city staff has completed all the necessary changes/modifications, which are discussed below and attached (new information only) for your review and comment Chair Rhody asked for comments from the public (None).

The request before the Commission on Wednesday, January 2, 2002 is to informally review the Sketch Plan for the proposed redevelopment of the former Kath Oil (Phillips 66) gas station site and the 2 adjoining parcels. The applicant seeks to construct a 16,000 square foot two-story office building for medical/dental and other general office use in the northwest portion of the site. The applicant also seeks to construct a 22 unit three story apartment complex for the handicapped in the northeast portion of the site (see attached information). The two projects would share a joint parking area. Entries to County roads require a county permit. Watershed approvals will also be needed. Mike Cronin, representing Accessible Space Inc.
