Variance Board Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, November 07, 2007 Page 4 together for the overall project; and CVS Pharmacy and the Shopping Center were working in good faith together, developing a ground lease with CVS, and CVS’s intent to operate in the current Setzer space until the new building is constructed, and raze the existing Setzer portion of the structure, and reface the remainder of the facility. Public Comment Maurice Harnett, 243 Grandview Avenue W, Resident of Roseville Mr. Harnett advised that, as a long-term employee of Setzer’s Pharmacy, he was speaking for himself, not on behalf of his employer. Mr. Harnett noted that Setzer’s Pharmacy had been in the market place since 1954, and was a mainstay of the Rice Street corridor. Mr. Harnett sought clarification on the approval process and public comment opportunity for citizens of Roseville and surrounding communities using the current pharmacy, through the Planning Commission and the City Council. Mr. Paschke briefly reviewed the process for Mr. Harnett; noting that the project would have received administrative review and approval, had there not been a need for variances. Chair Boerigter requested that Mr. Harnett relate his specific concerns about the project. Mr. Harnett advised that a Walgreen’s Pharmacy had just opened across the street from Setzers; and noted his concern about the displacement of employees of Setzer’s Pharmacy, opining that CVS didn’t hire to the magnitude or provide the type of service level currently offered by Setzer’s. Chair Boerigter recognized Mr. Harnett’s concerns that the landlord didn’t renew the lease of the current pharmacy; however noted that it was the charge of the Variance Board to review land use applications. Commissioner Doherty encouraged Mr. Harnett, if he so desired, to attend an upcoming City Council meeting and address his concerns during the public comment section of the meeting regarding this issue. Chair Boerigter closed the Public Hearing. Commissioners concurred on deleting reference to the trash enclosure, directing staff to work with the applicant on a satisfactory location.
