(5aurce: Small group <br />discussion reports) <br />. Housing Maintenance and Upgrades <br />� o Housing stock is aging. <br />o Programs are needed to help with basic upgrades (electricity, plumbing, and <br />technology), especially for older housing owned by seniors. <br />o Need more housing options, e.g. townhomes, which have maintenance <br />services for owners. <br />o Rehab proj ect designs for older homes do not always fit in with design <br />character of the neighborhood. <br />. Rental l'roperty—too many owner-occupied, single-family homes are being converted to <br />rental. <br />Regulatory Polici�,s/1Zequirements <br />o Some form of "Truth in Housing" at point of sale could be useful in encouraging <br />maintenance and upgrades for hoines. <br />o Too much regulation could be detrimental and discourage needed home <br />im provements/ upgrades. <br />Housing market <br />o More affordable ($300,000 and under) housing is needed for younger families. <br />o Roseville assets, e.g. location advantage for commuters and quality schools, <br />aren't being effectively marketed to attz�act younger families. <br />What other issues were raised during the Dialogue? (Source:SzxiaLi group discussion reports and <br />large group discussion a�otes.) <br />. Transportation <br />o Walking Paths along less congested streets are needed, especially along South <br />Qwasso and Victoria. <br />o Sidewalks along high traffic volume streets are not pedestrian friendly making it <br />difficult to walk to such places as �ZoSeda,�e or the Har Mar Mall. <br />o Public Transit—more directroutes to job centers are needed. <br />What canthe City do to respond to these issues? (Source:Largegroup discussionnotes.) <br />. Educate people what the code zs —what are requirements. <br />. Do not over regulate—live and let live. <br />. Encourage upgrades—don't increase taxes after upgrade, possibly consider offering tax <br />breaks. <br />. Promote existing housing programs. <br />. Help with cost of upgrade items that don't add market value. <br />North East Area Dialogue Sunm�ary p. 2 <br />Apri119,2005 <br />
