reasonable to me. And it seemed reasonable to Scott Roste, <br />Acting Chair of the Midland Grove Condo Association, when in a <br />June 3rd letter to the Planning Commission he recommended <br />medium-density. <br />In fact, planning staff do not even make an effort to make such <br />a case for high density residential: it made the case that this <br />project may have site problems but so did nine other high <br />density housing projects the City has approved, some going <br />back to the 1960's. This smacks of over-reaching for reasons to <br />justify this project, and, risking over simplification, seems to <br />suggest that this project has the same problems as these other <br />approved projects. <br />Staff seems to be confirming that the real Roseville precedent <br />in reviewing high-density housing proposals is: You can <br />continue to make mistakes as long as someone else has done it <br />and gotten away with it. <br />In Section 6.9 of the Staff Recommendation appeals to the <br />"higher authority" of basic planning principles, and raises the <br />specter of the Metropolitan Council's expectation that Roseville <br />add 1,912 new households by 2030. The staff recommendation <br />fails to mention, however, that last year this Metro Council <br />requirement was fully appreciated by the Comp Plan Steering <br />Committee when it drafted Roseville's new Comp Plan for 2030. <br />The new Comp Plan provides additional building sites for multi- <br />family housing throughout Roseville to meet this standard, <br />without feeling the need to mention this site. <br />City Council Remarks July 13, 2009 4 <br />
