Commissioner Boerigter firr�her opined that the proposed exterior and architectural features and intents expressed by the developer served to mimic the character of the adjacent proposed single-family and existing neighborhood homes. Commissioner Boerigter opined that he could not support putting single family and twin homes on separate ends of the development; found commercial development more objectionable; and questioned the rationale for desired inhabitants of a four-plex. Commissioner Boerigter expressed his personal admiration that the Mounds View School District had attempted to develop the site in a way to provide affordable housing while providing additional single family homes in the community to attract families with children. Commissioner Boerigter further opined that it was an overall good project, and the inclusion of one (1) four-plex was not worth voting against the plan; that it worked well with the land and street layout; and that the development served the neighborhood better than the existing empty building. Chair Traynor clarified that he was supportive of residential development of the site, rather than commercial (office space) development of which there was already a surplus; and other issues with office development (i.e., lower threshold for environmental standards, parl�ing lots, and significant traffic issues). Chair Tray�or spoke in support of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan and desire to maintain families in the area schools. However, Chair T:raynar remained non-supportive of this proposal, and the four-plex. Commissioner Bake�aa� spoke in opposition to the plan as presented, based on the inclusion of the four-plex; and suggested a small professional building (i.e., dental office) on the proposed four-plex site as suitable to include in this development, not as a shopping destination, but as a service amenity ("go-to" business) to the adjoining residential properties. Commissioner Balcernan questioned whether Ramsey County would even consider allowing a curb cut for the four-plex that close to a major intersection; but overall expressed her lack of support for the project due to the four-plex; opining that something not quite that big would be more personally preferable. Commissioner Woznial{ concurred with the comments of Commissioners Doherty and Boerigter; opining that the proposal addressed some goals of the Comprehensive Plan in providing a wide range of housing options; and encouraged young families into the area. Commissioner Woznial{ opined that, while he had some issues with the four-plex, he had faith that the developer would return with a design that works, and included his support for the project as presented. Commissioner Roe opined that this was a difficult project to review, noting the diversity of the neighborhood character and variety of existing homes. Commissioner Roe expressed concern with the four-plex, even though he hoped the developer would come up with an aesthetically-pleasing design. Commissioner Roe further opined that more work was needed on the project related to economics and density viabilities; and expressed his willingness to consider a small professional office complex, no larger than four (4) units with a residential appearance. Commissioner Roe was not supportive of the current proposal, and suggested that the developer take a step back and look at something that may work better on the site.
