Member Bakeman expressed concern with home height and setbacks along Dionne. Member Stone encouraged broken-up frontages and multiple roof lines, vertical depth and interest. Chair Mulder noted all four sides will be a front of the project. There will be a view challenge. Member Stone asked what neighborhood meetings will be done and how the project will be marketed through the Roseville Senior Linkage Program. Member Traynor said he liked the design concepts. On the east side, near the single family area, how will this be screened or planted? (new landscape plan to be done). Chair Mulder encouraged spending time on landscaping and talking with the adjoining neighbors. A drainage plan is also very important. Understand and demonstrate a sense of scale. Member Ipsen asked why a cooperative and town home mix? Townhomes are nearest to single family homes, and are more adaptable with neighbors. Mike Theis explained neighborhood meetings are the next step in March. b. Set work session date to discuss land use matters with City Attorney. Chair Mulder explained how Scott Anderson would present a seminar - a refresher on Minnesota Planning Law on March 3 or April 7. Staff will check with Scott on availability. c. Discussion on Commission goal setting for 2004. Dennis Welsch summarized issues for the next three to five years and the Commission commented and added to this list: . Quality of Life - What kind of a community do you want for your children in 20 years? What will the city be in the future? Do we simply want to be a "pass through" community? How will Roseville regenerate? Resident age and racial diversity and balance within community; continued strength in city and educational services and programs? How do demographics shape the products and services needed in the community? How can citizens participate in this discussion? . Environmental quality - How will we maintain, improve, and beautify our natural environment? . Transportation - capacity expansion of Highway 36 and Interstate 35Wand county roads/city streets that act as "relievers"; access to Rosedale from Highway 36; how to deal with traffic congestions, noise and air quality. What are the state and county transportation plans and projections? How can our roadways be more visually inviting and present a cleaner, greener image? . Public Transportation in first ring suburb needs city and regional improvement How will public transit assist Roseville in the future? . Twin Lakes - a consensus on what can be done and the need for a redevelopment ethic . Housing condition and value must be maintained; absentee landlords of single family homes are increasing. . Housing for public employees, especially first time homeowners is needed. . Multi-family and rental housing issues: value to community, diversity of types, density, safety, property value, and rental licensing . Retail Centers - There is a change occurring in how we shop. How will Rosedale and our other centers evolve in a market dominated by big box power centers, life style centers, and internet shopping? . Existing Job Center and Tax Base - Roseville currently has between 37,000 and 40,000 jobs. Nearly 22% of our resident workers are employed in the community. How can we continue to compete and maintain our diversified commercial and industrial base? . Two Quality School Districts - Schools have been an integral part (and center) of the community. What are the school districts' visions of the future? How does this help shape the community? How can the city partner with them in a time of declining enrollment? . Community Center - centralized vs. de-centralized; need for sense of place and meeting spaces. . Community Connections - pathways, sidewalks, i-net, meeting spaces
