Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 18, 2007 Page 21 Mr. Brian Carey provided comment on the success of their previous Roseville senior housing projects; existing waiting list of thirty peo- ple; and their enthusiasm to work on another project in Roseville. Mr. Carey advised that the current plan was solely in response to the request by staff and the Park and Recreation Commission to provide access to Langton Lake Park, with the developer's preference being the original plan that provided transition for single-family homes by including the twin homes south of the co-op building. Mr. Carey ad- vised that if the City Council thought the first plan was more appro- priate, the developer would be willing to work with the City on that option. Councilmember Ihlan suggested that the City Council consider an ex- tension of the 60-day land use review, opining that there seemed to be a huge number of policy questions and environmental issues that needed to be considered, and additional information provided to the City Council before they could make a decision. Councilmember Pust questioned the intent of the developer and their preferred design layout; and whether they were presenting this site plan, or wanted to return to their previous design; and whether the de- veloper should seek to delay Council action on the proposed site plan before them tonight to allow time for the developer and staff to work out more details. Mr. Carey clarified that, while the developer would have preferred a Study Session with the City Council as the plans developed, the de- veloper was before the City Council tonight requesting approval of the plan before them with staff support, rather than delaying the project further. Mr. Hall noted that, by eliminating the twin homes for the project, and compromising by including the access road to the park, the developer had significantly reduced their profit potential by approximately $1 million.
