to south. Can the developer prepare views looking from C-2 causeway to the south a next meeting (yes)? Tim Kotecki, 3078 Mt. Ridge Road, asked if there is a parkway design adjacent to a big box. Is there a purpose for the bikeway? Where will the pathways connect? Will there be a bridge over Cleveland and over County Road "C"? Deb Bloom explained that the City has a master bike path plan for all roads with more than 1 0,000 ADT to place new pathways (Dale Street, B-2, C), connecting to downtown Minneapolis. Mr. Kotecki asked if the proposed development will generate one-half the traffic of the AUAR scenario. Does the traffic on county Road C change the most by comparison of AUAR to Rottlund proposal? AI Sands, 2612 Aldine, asked where the park dedication land would be in the proposal. Could the developer prepare some indication of where that might occur? Could the plan be "locked" in concrete? Is the height of buildings too high? When will specifics occur? Terry Moses, 1776 Maple Lane, asked why and what the zoning would be? How can the City get what it wants without zoning control? Has the developer worked on a Costco project? ( California, Colorado and others). There is no control as to whether a Costco would occur if the zoning is approved. It could be other retailers. John Johanson explained the Costco market and compatibility within the market. The layout and materials can be regulated. Catherine Smith, 1784 Maple Lane, asked if the questions can be summarized for the next meeting. How are Planning Commission decisions made and by what criteria? Comments Terry Moses said the City has spent much time and energy on the Twin Lakes issues. Big Box retail was not recommended by Dennis Welsch in the 2001 master site plan. Thirty acres of land will be low value redevelopment. Why do the planning if we do not follow it? Traffic exiting to freeway is one issue, but traffic entering the neighborhoods will be a threat. Saturday is a low traffic day on Fairview. Office (as in the Plan) would be consistent with the plan and allow a quiet neighborhood on the weekends. Pat Alexander, 2165 Midlothian Road, said there will be more traffic through the neighborhood - accept it or move. Steve Burwell, 2284 N. Albert, asked that next week the meeting start with audience comments. Gordon Godbout, 3110 Mildred Drive, said round-about is a bad idea; a four-way stop works better. Traffic on Fairview and County Road D will be too large an impact. Ray Wallum, 1732 Millwood Ave., asked how this project is being funded. Pollution is an unknown cost; who will fund it and what will be the impact on Roseville residents? Tim Kotecki suggested residents will move from Roseville. Chair Traynor noted at the next meeting there will be opportunity for more public comment.
