redevelopment intentions. The proposal includes four structures of two units (eight total units) that would be constructed on the parcel (this proposal is approximately 5.5 units per acre). Access would be via a private road (24 feet wide) from Oakcrest Avenue. Units would include two stall garages facing the access road, except for the center four units, where the garages would face in a north/south direction. The proposed town homes are a rambler design with a full basement and approximately 1,620 sq. ft. on each floor. Greg Stull, Meadowbrook Homes, illustrated one story floor plan and front elevation. Driveways and garages set in opposite directions to conceal. Meadow View Homes will market to empty nesters. Chair Traynor asked for details of materials. The buildings will be custom built with full basements. The exterior will be brick, stone and vinyl siding. Total square footage will be 3,000 to 3,200 sq. ft. There will be a home owners association. Mr. Stull indicated that a neighborhood meeting will be held prior to concept consideration by the Commission. Chair Traynor noted the need for one level empty nester housing. The City attempts to find life cycle housing choices. Density change is modest and will not change character of neighborhood. Member Blank and Member Peper supported the garage and design alternatives. No further comments. Mr. Paschke explained the need to complete a Comprehensive Plan amendment, a rezoning, a PUD, a subdivision. Member Bakeman stated she was in favor of amending the Comprehensive Plan but encouraged neighborhood meetings. She has concerns about trees to be removed and noted they will be replanted when construction is complete. No further action needed. 7d. Planning File 3539: Request by the City of Roseville to rezone all park land from their current designations of R- 1,Single Family, R-3A, Multiple Family Residence District,B-1 Limited Business District, PUD Planned Unit Development District, 1-1 Light Industrial District and 1-2 General Industrial District to POS, Public Park and Open Space District. Chair Traynor opened the hearing and requested Dennis Welsch to present verbal summary of the staff report dated January 7, 2004. In July and August of 2003, the City held public hearings/readings and created a new zoning district called "Public Park and Open Space" or "POS". The original request came with the Vista 2000 report and has been carried forward within the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and the Park Systems Plan. The Park and Recreation Commission have endorsed this concept. Within Roseville there are nearly 1,200 acres of some type of park and recreation or open space use. The City has 657 acres of parks as well as the Cedarholm Golf Course (26 acres). The County has the majority of the remaining publicly-owned uses such as beaches (18 acres) and open spaces (133 acres). The other large open space is the privately-owned Midland Hills Golf Course at 160 acres which is excluded from this amendment. The "POS" district was established as a means of clarifying and protecting lands actually located within City and County Park and open spaces. Uses allowed within this "POS" district are public park uses and buildings and those uses within the adopted master plan for the site within the Parks System Plan Parks and Recreation Director, Lonnie Brokke, answered questions. A general discussion ensued. There was no further public comment. Chair Traynor closed the hearing. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Peper, to recommend approve of the amendment to the official City of Roseville zoning map, designating city and county park and open space parcels as listed by parcel identification number and on the attached map, as "POS", part of the Public Park and Open Space zone within the City of Roseville City Code Chapter 1004, Section 1004.11. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried 6-0. 9 Adjourn: The meeting was adjourned at 10:40 p.m
