Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, November 01, 2006 Page 6 Mr. Paschke reminded Commissioners, and the public, that under City Code, the City issued addresses within the City, and that the Post Office was not the enforcement mechanism for approval. Mr. Paschke noted that, when the individual homes were located on the lot, through the building permit process, staff would then identify the addresses. Mr. Boryczka had further questions on the grading plans, grade changes, location of homes, curbing, and other details. Chair Traynor reminded Mr. Broyczki that the Commission was not deciding the fine points in the process at this time. Paul Romanowski, 2195 Acorn Road Mr. Romanowski advised that he had originally purchased his home due to the low density of the neighborhood. Mr. Romanowski performed his own estimate of the number of trees he determined would need to be removed; and opined that the entire area would “look like a war zone and ruin the entire situation.” Mr. Romanowski presented a petition signed by numerous neighbors, stating,” We, the undersigned, residents of the City of Roseville, hereby petition our City to place a moratorium on the subdivision/platting/rezoning of the following described are of Roseville: that area bounded on the west by Highway 280, on the north by Highway 36, on the east by Cleveland Avenue, and on the south by County Road B. Our reasons for requesting this moratorium with the petition and attachment, attached hereto and made a part are attached;” thereof. James Kilau, 2225 Acorn Road Mr. Kilau advised that he lived adjacent to the property under consideration; spoke to the uniqueness of the property; discussed the width of Acorn Road; and his perceptions that density would not increase in the area. Mr. Kilau expressed his disappointment with the proposed development, threatened to leave the neighborhood if development continued, and questioned what would happen to the value of area homes. Mr. Kilau questioned why staff, Commissioner and City Council time continued to be wasted, following the City Council’s denial of the previous plan. Joel Cheney Mr. Cheney questioned who would pay the cost of the public road. Ms. Bloom advised that the applicant, upon City approval of street design, could construct the road with their own contractors and engineers, monitored and inspected by the City Engineer; or the developer could enter into an Improvement Contract with the City, and the City would build the road. Ms. Bloom advised that the cost for construction would be 100% the applicant’s responsibility; and once accepted by the City, it would become a City street, with maintenance and future repairs the responsibility of the City. Ms. Bloom briefly reviewed code requirements, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, that a hard surface for access to homes needed to be built. Mr. Emerson Mr. Emerson disputed the width of Acorn Road and Ms. Bloom’s statement on the width. Mr. Emerson and other members of the audience expressed frustration with the quality of the audio in the Council Chambers; as they were unable to hear comments from the presentation table. Chair Traynor apologized for the apparent audio difficulties at tonight’s meeting. Nancy Gulden, 2226 W Laurie Road Ms. Gulden spoke against the subdivision, based on safety issues, drainage, environmental
