<br />---DRAFT--- <br /> <br />Findings <br />People like living in Roseville. Most have lived here for several years and most intend to <br />stay living here for many years to come. Concerns raised were grounded in experience. <br />People were pleased to have the opportunity to express concerns, but also reminded us <br />that overall, Roseville is a very good place to live. <br /> <br />Residents want to preserve what is good about Roseville - its neighborliness, quality of <br />life, good environment, proximity to resources and amenities, and overall sense of <br />community. They also, however, have seen many changes in Roseville and believe <br />change can occur that maintains what has been important for them over the years. The <br />biggest concerns related to the impact of growth, changing demographics, market values <br />of houses, and accompanying traffic and other stresses on current practical and aesthetic <br />issues. <br /> <br />Most of those participating in the meetings have been long-term Roseville residents. <br />They have experienced in their own lives the need for life cycle housing. This issue was <br />an overriding theme. There is a gap between current household needs and lifestyles and <br />existing housing types and costs. Residents hope that through longer term planning, <br />more strategic or targeted programs and policies, and greater communication and <br />participation the gaps can be addressed. <br /> <br />Most people were very familiar with their own neighborhoods and eager to know what <br />was going on with specific lots or development projects. They offered very concrete <br />suggestions for improvements along specific roads, at intersections, with particular <br />developments, lots, and open space, parks and City codes. They hope that with more <br />information, some education for newer residents, and better coordination at city offices <br />they can maintain the quality of their neighborhoods, be engaged in being part of the <br />solution, and welcome those who wish to move into and become part of the RosevilIe <br />Community. <br /> <br />Business owners who attended the meetings most often both lived and worked in <br />Roseville. Their loyalty to RosevilIe is significant. Their recommendations for fairness in <br />treatment, more attention to the economic and business implications of development <br />decisions, and greater community and partnership between business and City offices <br />were specific and constructive. A primary interest is in the long-term perspective and a <br />desire to see that perspective reflected in City and RHRA polices and programs. <br /> <br />Almost unanimously, participants believe that government and the RHRA specifically <br />has a critical role to play in maintaining the quality of RosevilIe, planning for its future, <br />and in using public funds strategically to anticipate and embrace the changes in the <br />foreseeable future. They also unanimously, found things that the residents could do to <br />be better partners in creating and sustaining the future of Roseville. Residents were <br />eager to participate, interested in information about their communities, and willing to <br />seek information and offer suggestions for informed and sustainable resolution to issues <br />they identified. They further believe that leaving things alone isn't sufficient-several <br />things need to be strategically done now in order to ensure a healthy future for <br />Roseville. <br /> <br />Executive Summary ---DRAFT--- May 17, 2005 <br /> <br />ii <br />
