City Council Study Session <br />1l~Ionday, August 20, 2007 <br />Page 14 <br />crement financing (TIF) funding under consideration. Mr. Tanning <br />further opined that the neighborhood should have lots of input into a <br />plan, even if it included some retail; and asked that the neighborhood <br />be provided with a walking trail, a nice family restaurant, and attrac- <br />tive, pedestrian and/or bike-friendly transportation options within the <br />development. Mr. Tanning further opined that the City of Roseville <br />had a history of "cramming too much stuff in a small area;" and noted <br />that many long-time businesses had already relocated, and the com- <br />munity and area was emerging as an inner tier suburb, and couldn't <br />remain the way it was previously. Mr. warning opined that the area <br />was a "plain eyesore," with much-needed housing improvements nec- <br />essary, as well as one-level senior housing; and questioned if it would <br />happen in the next ten (10) years, while noting that the market would <br />dictate development, and the plan needed to get done, even if it in- <br />cluded mixed use retail. <br />a Seaberg, 3098 Fairview Avenue <br />Mr. Seaberg opined that he was not a proponent one way or the other <br />for Twin Lakes development and/or big box retail, retirement homes, <br />or offices. Mr. Seaburg opined that the biggest problem with the pre- <br />vious plan was too much in such a small space. <br />Mayor Klausing clarified that there was not a development plan cur- <br />rently before the City Council; and that the purpose of tonight's meet- <br />ing was to determine if the GUAR Update was complete and accurate <br />prior to submission to the reviewing agencies for their twenty (20) day <br />review and comment period. <br />Councilmember Ihlan opined the need to incorporate written and ver- <br />bal comments into the draft to be presented to the Final Draft to be <br />submitted to reviewing agencies. <br />Mayor Klausing suggested that individual Councilmembers provide <br />their recommendations to staff for incorporating public comment into <br />the final draft, for staff input and consideration by the full City Coun- <br />cil at their next meeting. <br />Councilmember Ihlan reiterated her opinion that public comment, <br />some of which was very detailed, be collected as part of the public <br />
