Woody Johnson, 1047 Dionne Street, expressed concern with additional parking on Dionne for employees, residents, and construction semi-trailers. Thomas Paschke explained the Arona project and recommended construction access from Larpenteur only. Mr. Johnson asked if the project is senior only project? Mr. Theis said the building is restricted to 55+ in age, and in answer to a previous question, construction traffic will enter from Larpenteur. Mike Wolf explained that the townhomes site will be used as a staging area for three years. He expressed concern with traffic entry. There should be a left turn lane from Larpenteur to get into the site. Member Traynor asked if there are peaks for the traffic. (This project has no dramatic peak time impact.) There were no further public comments. Chair Mulder closed the hearing. Chair Mulder said one of the positive points is that this project is a senior project. Traffic patterns are significantly different, not susceptible to peak traffic situations. Chair Mulder was supportive of razing the greenhouse. He also requested a construction delivery and parking plan. The neighbors should be involved with the landscape plan and the developer, as on other projects in Roseville. Member Traynor noted that while townhomes have, in the past, been placed on R-1 lots. He is troubled by this use. Member Stone said a home is a home - the resident is not different in a townhome or single family detached home. Density is the real issue. Roseville land is very expensive. Member Bakeman expressed concern with exterior storage of vehicles while materials are stored in the garages. Member Stone asked if the City Code restricted storage. Thomas Paschke explained that the PUD can regulate exterior storage.

A similar exterior architectural treatment must be incorporated into the design of the town homes.
