George Bednar, 2940 N Ha�nline Mr. Bednar expressed his concern with density on the site; and his preference for a professional office complex; opining the neighborhood impacts with the future demolition of the Ha�-�aline Center and that proposed use for future housing. Faye Deuel, 3037 N Hamline Ms. Deuel expressed her preference for Roseville staying the way it is. Ms. Dueul opined that if housing was built, children would follow. Ms. Deuel expressed frustration with the content of and in%rmatio� provided at the three neighborhood meetings held to-date, with the majority of the discussion and presentation being about the contamination on the site; and limited time azadlnr discussion of the proposed housing units on the site or land use intent. Ms. Deuel questioned the future appearance of single-family homes versus a four-plex on neighborhood aesthetics.

Staff and the developer responded that, as part of the Concept Plan review process, the City and Ramsey County would review traffic and safety issues; proximity of the driveway and street intersections; curb cut locations; and noted that the Concept Plan had received verbal comments from Ramsey County, with formal review pending, based on development of the Concept Plan. Bob Willmus, 2932 Hamli�e Mr. Willmus advised that he had provided written comments as well. Mr. Willmus noted the reduction in units from fifteen (15) to fourteen (14}, but expressed concern regarding the four-plex.

Ms. Willmus concurred that the neighborhood meetings held to-date had been predominantly related to the pollution aspect, with very little time spent on land use and the proposed Concept Plans themselves. Mr. Willmus opined that il�is was an important development, and recognized the expertise of the developers, but encouraged that more neighborhood involvement be provided before the project went forward to address the proposed land use, neighborhood concerns and density issues.

Mr. Moser noted that while the School District had facilitated the neighborhood meetings, he and
