of Big Box at main entry to new neighborhood). Chair Traynor asked if LEED standards could be used. How does this project compare? Michael Noonan explained his memorandum on meeting many LEED standards. The U.S. Builders Association has adopted LEED standards: lot designs, energy conservation, HVAC equipment standards, water conservation, and home owners/property management education. --------- Ten Minute Recess -------- Chair Traynor asked Steve Wilson (City Traffic Consultant) to explain the original Stakeholder concept for a jog or disconnect in the Parkway. The Parkway serves to access internal uses. The disconnect increased traffic on County Road C and D. The connected parkways keep more traffic on the Parkway and out of the existing neighborhoods. Mr. Wilson explained traffic capacity of a round-about. He will review this with Joe Samuel and report on this at the next meeting (October 14, 2004). Judy Holgen, 1934 Shryer, asked for details of the health limits on contamination. How will the Lake be managed? How will contaminants be cleaned? Dennis Welsch explained the current remedial action plan progress and the review currently being undertaken by MnPCA. Michael Noonan noted contaminants will be addressed with ponding and filtering. Redevelopment will be an assist to clean the Lake waters. Natasha Walter, 3100 Prior Circle, asked for details of pathways, bike lanes and parkways. Michael Noonan explained vehicle traffic will be distinct from pedestrian. Bike lanes will be constructed and planned with fewer conflicts. Tim Callahan, 3062 Shoreview Lane, asked if valuation was similar to 2001 plan. Welsch explained the proposal of $212M vs. the original 2001 plan of $300-350M covering the entire site. How can buildings be tall within 300 feet of the Lake? Green spaces are shown also as ponds and parks. Is there a difference here? Terry Moses, 1776 Maple Lane, asked what the normal setback from a park property line was. (There is no specific regulation separating the buildings from park property line). Thomas Paschke explained setbacks. Staff will prepare setbacks from the park, adjacent to the property line. B-6 and Shoreland regulations may differentiate the measurement. Tam McGehee expressed concern that the City has no control over PUDs. What control do citizens have? Who can review a PUD? How small a change can be done by staff by comparison to a major amendment? Why does the development not have two story parking ramps for commercial uses? John Johanson explained the economics of parking ramp construction and maintenance. Parking ramps cost $20-$25 per square foot to construct. Underground parking is more affordable with less maintenance. She commented that AUAR comments suggest permeable surfaces and swales instead of storm sewers. Joe Samuel explained surface permeable vs impervious surface water treatment. Can native vegetation be used will be decide as the plans become more specific. Warren Davidson, 2839 Asbury St., asked what the price range of housing would be. Michael Noonan explained that for the financial models, average prices will be lower $200,000 to lower $300,000. Mr. Davidson asked for details of Phase 2 and Phase 3. Chair Traynor asked if a portion of the site might be reserved for affordable housing. If possible (with grants) units could be reserved. Member Pust asked about housing/demographic impacts on school districts. Member Doherty asked if there is housing for young singles (no). There will not be many children in this development. Chair Traynor described the senior housing marketing and linkage in Roseville. Member Doherty asked ifthere is a market saturation in senior housing. Michael Noonan explained the strong appetite for senior housing because of the baby boomers. Member Pust asked what will happen to the housing after the baby boomers are gone. Housing is an asset which may refresh or be renovated to another type of housing at that time. Judy Honen, 1809 Stanbridge Avenue, explained Fairview traffic back-ups. What is Roseville doing to reduce impacts of growth and traffic? Steve Wilsen explained that there will be additional traffic on Fairview, regardless of what is done by the year 2020. Background traffic continues to grow without new development in the nearby area. Judy Honen asked what the peak and off-peak traffic might be for different uses throughout the 24 hour period. Peak traffic is 10% average but more in office areas, less in retail. A mix of uses spreads the peaks. Steve Wilson will bring back peaks by uses. Hank Wells, 1615 Millwood, expressed concern about visual pollution. The Park has best views looking from north
