City of Roseville - Planning Commission Minutes for October 5, 2005Page 4 of 11 Jim Saxerud, 1033 Shryer, is opposed and expressed concern about privacy and wildlife. Stay away from back property lines. The woods from Victoria to Lexington Avenue are a 'highway for deer'. The trees on the back of the lots will be removed and will destroy the animal flow through the wild. Member Doherty asked if the owners of existing lots could build homes or accessory buildings to the back of the lot? (Yes) Angie Franks, 985 Parker, explained that the quality of new development by Ron Anderson is high. The change is good, bringing in new younger families and improving property values. The proposal will improve this neighborhood. However, Parker Avenue traffic from the Baptist Church is a significant issue. Kevin Vesldahl, 960 Parker, had a plan to build at the back of the lot until working with Ron Anderson. Andrew Stark, 1009 Parker, noted the lots proposed are small (30 feet between homes) and kids will play in the street. He prefers four new homes on Parker. Dave Pestel, 1080 Parker, asked if a speed bump or stop sign could be put on their road. Motor bikes are an issue. Could the city create a 'green zone' or thin park along the adjoining rear property lines? Could there be a trail down the rear lot lines or a connector to existing parks? Wilbert Pantsari, 1000 Parker, explained that he is concerned about sanitary sewer capacity. Can this system handle 10 extra homes? The city has an easement on his property. He has a storm sewer on his site as well. Bill Marmish, 2054 N. Lexington, said he bought the property thinking the land would remain as is. The green spaces (public or private) are unique and should be preserved. Michelle Flickinger, 1027 Shryer, expressed concern about wildlife and privacy. Codes are guidelines to her. How can the beauty of the neighborhood be written into a code. Privacy and landscaping is a significant issue. How will kids cut through from the cul-de-sac to Shryer to the Pioneer Park? Could fencing be added? Traffic on Shryer has increased dramatically. Could there be less than 10 homes? Chair Traynor thanked the developed for trying to work with the neighbors. He asked Ron Anderson what the plans are for the south property line and what the landscape plan will be. He will attempt to retain as many trees as possible. Member White asked Mr. Anderson if five new homes were possible (not financially feasible. The homes will be 1,800-2,600 SF and $500,000 to $750,000 each. Hearing no further public comment, Chair Traynor closed the public hearing. Member Doherty said he supports the project as being similar to the Iona Lane subdivision which is an asset to the neighborhood. There will be many empty nesters who move into this project. The same concerns were expressed about the Iona Lane site. There are no complaints now. These will be very nice homes. The drainage plan will be followed. Member Boerigter also supported the project. These are private property rights issues. The project will benefit the city in total. The city needs more expensive homes. Member White supports the project. Other projects could also occur on Parker based on current codes. He likes the 'green zone' concept, prefers 5 new homes. The homes may bring in new families to the city. Member Wozniak supported the project as per comments of Members Boerigter and White. He http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2005/pm051005.htm12/27/2005
