Rosedale as the dominant mall on the northern side of St. Paul solidified the <br />pattern of land use in Roseville. Commercial and industrial land use dominates <br />the west side and is associated with the I-35W corridor. Residential land use <br />dominates in the eastern and central sections. High-density residential <br />developments have been added where space permitted and the Rose Drive-In was <br />converted to mixed retailing and service activities. <br />Residents of Roseville have been encouraged to organize around Central Park. <br />The area is about 220 acres and is slightly north of the actual center of the <br />community. In 1981 a tornado devastated the landscape of the park. This disaster <br />provided a new focus for life in the area. Thirty-five organizations and some 300 <br />people became involved in the restoration of the landscape and a new band shell <br />was constructed. In addition, a community festival was developed to <br />commemorate "Replanting Our Roots". This traditional Central Park seems well <br />suited to this grid-patterned, inner-ring suburb. In a city with few physical <br />amenities and large numbers of people, the expanse of open space provides much <br />needed social spaces for residents. The park's amphitheater and band shell clearly <br />calls for music, which is provided each summer by the Roseville Community Bank. <br />Thus, in many respects the suburb of the 1950s has captured the essence of <br />community life in the 19"' century: large public recreation spaces, volunteerism and <br />performances by members of the community in shared spaces. <br />THE LAND AND ITS PHYSICAL CONDITIONS <br />A. Topography and Water Drainage <br />The glaciers helped form the current land surface of Roseville. More <br />than 10,000 years ago, Roseville evolved into a series of bluffs and <br />upland hills which also define the adjacent lowlands - a network of <br />drainage ways, lakes and marshes. The topography of northern <br />Ramsey County (and Roseville) is irregular with ground elevations <br />varying approximately 150 feet: from 1,000 feet above Mean Sea Level <br />(MSL) near County Road B-2 and Western Avenue to a low of 840 feet <br />above MSL south of McCarron's Lake. Because of this topographic <br />change, the City of Roseville lies within three major drainage districts: <br />Rice Creek Watershed District in the western portion of the City, Grass <br />Lake Watershed Management Organization in the northeastern <br />portion of the City, and the Capital Region Watershed District <br />(formerly Central Ramsey Watershed Management Organization) in <br />the southeastern portion of the City (See figure 2). <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan — 2001 Update The Land and its People -Page 5 of 24 <br />
