Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, October 01, 2008 Page 15 District 10, Twin Lakes District and perimeter areas, Section 4-21/22 (Request of Mr. Rancone, via e-mail September 29, 2008, for re-designation of land parcels in the Twin Lakes area along Cleveland Avenue and County Road C to “Regional,” or “Community Mixed Use” designation) and public comments by Mr. Regan related to similar concerns. Chair Bakeman specifically asked Mr. Rancone and Mr. Regan for comment, following elimination of the 100,000 square-foot-designation. Mark Regan Mr. Regan opined that elimination of that restriction helped, but further opined that the “Regional” designation provided more opportunity beyond “Community” use. Mr. Regan opined that, if the Commission justified HarMar and Target as regional, it would seem that, due to their relationship to I-35W, those Twin Lakes’ perimeter parcels would seem to be equally regional in nature. Commissioner Boerigter clarified that the 100,000-square-foot requirement never applied to “Office” designation, and that “Regional” only related to retail use by definition, thus there would be no impact to office uses. Mark Rancone Mr. Rancone opined that the “Regional” definition was the broader choice of the two. Commissioner Boerigter opined that the multi-story office shouldn’t be included in the definition, based on provision of goods and services, as it didn’t appear compatible. Chair Bakeman opined that a better argument was in the last sentence of Section 4-8, with Twin Lakes fitting the “Regional Business” designation. Chair Bakeman reopened the Public Hearing at this time: approximately 10:53 p.m. Discussion included intent of the Steering Committee. Chair Bakeman referenced District 9, Section 4-19 and the area west of Rosedale, and potential uses by definition as offices, rather than actual retail businesses, with the Steering Committee intending to have a broader application. Discussion ensued on uses and intents for regional versus institutional or community uses; and differences in business park and office uses. Chair Bakeman closed the Public Hearing at 11:00 p.m. Mr. Trudgeon spoke to the Steering Committee’s intent in providing the “Mixed Use” designation, rather than “Community Mixed” or other segregated uses, to allow for more flexibility with the Twin Lakes master plan on a general basis, while accommodating that flexibility and variety for future development. Mr. Trudgeon noted that there was some objection to the 100,000 square foot restriction, but opined that with elimination of that restriction, it may become a moot point. Commissioner Doherty concurred with Mr. Trudgeon’s observations. MOTION Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Doherty, to delete Policy 5.3 from page Section 4-3 (Land Use Chapter) as it was redundant with Policy 5.4. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried. MOTION Member Doherty moved, seconded by Member Wozniak, Section 4-2, Goal 1 under “General Land Use Goals and Policies;” to simplify language as follows: ? “Goal 1: Maintain and improve Roseville as an attractive place to live, work, and play by promoting sustainable land use patterns, land use changes, and
