Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee <br />September 11, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br />Plans being included in this Comprehensive Plan and some land use definitions becoming <br />much more specific. For example, the Twin Lakes Master Plan could stay in the <br />Comprehensive Plan, but the City Center Plan (mentioned by Ms. Pust) would not. This <br />could and should only be undertaken with a concurrent strong and clear land use <br />definition document. Such definitions would include at a minimum the 100,000 sf <br />limitation on buildings in the Community Business sections and the inclusion of <br />Target and Har Mar in Community Business definition. This was the plan shown at <br />the initial "open house" and was very well received by the residents attending. <br />As for the inclusion of Master Plans within the Comprehensive Plan, there seems to <br />be substantial misunderstandings, particularly with respect to Roseville. First, any <br />reasonable changes can be adopted by a 2/3 majority vote. Given the money, time, and <br />effort represented in most Master Plans it is my opinion that if they are deemed by a 2/3 <br />majority to be significant enough to be included in the Comprehensive Plan then it only <br />follows that a 2/3 vote be required to change them. In the case of the Twin Lakes Master <br />Plan there was no opposition to the plans proposed by Cent Ventures and McGough even <br />though they were vastly different than those proposed by Rottlund Homes. Clearly <br />within the Twin Lakes Master Plan there is room for a variety of variations, and public <br />input should be a critical part of the approval process of any significant plans being put <br />before the Council. <br />The recurring theme promulgated by Ms. Bakeman and Ms. Pust, that the inclusion of the <br />Twin Lakes Master Plan into the Comprehensive Plan resulted in a law suit and the loss <br />of that suit by the City of Roseville is incorrect. The Twin Lakes law suit was about the <br />environmental review that had been done and the findings and changes that had occurred <br />since that review was completed. In fact, the entire focus was on the AUAR and its rules <br />and regulations. It was a MEPA (Minnesota Environmental Protection Act) suit; it was <br />not about the Comprehensive Plan or the Master Plan. (If anyone would like further <br />details or clarification, I can supply them, but for now, the fact is that the inclusion of the <br />Twin Lakes Master Plan into the Comprehensive Plan did not result in the law suit or the <br />city's loss of that suit.) <br />Ms. Pust's discussion of the implications of the City Center Master Plan also contains <br />incorrect assertions. The City Center Master Plan was summarily abandoned very early <br />after its inception with the sale of the 14 acres of city land (the Arona site). This site was <br />to be the new home of the maintenance facility, thus freeing space at the City Hall <br />Campus for a Community Center. With the sale of the Arona site (I believe by a 5/0 <br />vote.) and the subsequent public referendum expanding City Hall and the Maintenance <br />Facility, the plan was totally abandoned and should certainly not be included in this <br />Comprehensive Plan. (Here I accept without confirmation Ms. Pust's assertion that this <br />City Center Master Plan was amended into the Comprehensive Plan.) With considerable <br />
