Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 18, 2007 Page 28 Staff recommended DENIAL of the request by Cent Ventures and AmWest Development LLC, based on the absence of pertinent infor- mation necessary as identified and detailed in Secrion 9.0 of the staff report dated June 18, 2007; and recommendation of the Planning Commission on a 4/2 vote for denial. Councilmember Ihlan questioned calculation of, and staff clarified, the 60-day land use review scheduled to expire on August 3, 2007. Councilmember Ihlan expressed frustration that staff had already is- sued the extension, and that option was no longer available to the City Council without the applicant waiving their rights. Councilmember Pust referenced the staff report dated June 18, 2007, and questioned why the application was before the City Council when it appeared that application was yet deemed incomplete. Community Development Director John Stark reviewed Minnesota State Statute and Roseville City Code definitions of the completeness of application materials; and staff s interpretation of the materials as being insufficient to make informed decisions and to provide analysis. Councilmember Ihlan sought clarification, and staff provided their in- terpretation, on what the applicant proposed and what staff deemed necessary for a systematic and comprehensive analysis of traffic study alternatives and projections. Councilmember Ihlan expressed concern that the applicant was re- quired to submit traffic studies related to Twin Lakes Parkway and ex- tension of Mount Ridge Road when neither road was in existence, and their only access point for the site was on Cleveland Avenue. Mr. Paschke reviewed staffls interpretation of this project as Phase I, and their need to determine how this site fit in with future develop- ment of the entire Twin Lakes redevelopment area and how current proposed roadways and traffic impacts could accommodate future needs; noting that Twin Lakes Parkway was an officially mapped roadway, even though not yet constructed, and whether traffic impacts could trigger whether or not the Parkway needed to be constructed in
