Summary of Arona/Hamline Neighborhood Master Plan Components <br />Discussion with Roseville City Council Members 8� Mayor <br />Source: Community Development Staff February 5, 2002 <br />1. What is important for the planning area and specifically the Arona site? <br />♦ Agreement that the Arona site reuse is/was a prudent investment for the <br />City and possibly the Community Center <br />♦ A key component in the success of the master plan must include the <br />redevelopment of Hamline Center, perhaps a separate private sector <br />phase of development. <br />♦ The City (and its staff and resources) should concentrate on the Arona <br />development. <br />♦ Input from the neighborhood is important. <br />♦ A diverse mix of housing and affordability units should be disbursed <br />throughout planning area. <br />♦ Affordable senior housing should be a component with a mix of different <br />housing types. <br />♦ Profit generated from the sale of the property should go toward community <br />center or be paid back to community development housing fund. <br />♦ Developer incentives or subsidies should not be necessary as the property <br />is very valuable with limited land available in Roseville. <br />♦ Innovation in uses and design is acceptable; providing a mix of uses that <br />can be connected is very important. <br />2. What are likes and dislikes about proposed concepts so far? <br />♦ The mix of uses seems to strengthen the neighborhood diversity. <br />♦ There is some possibility of a trade option; staff should explore it. <br />♦ The Arona site is an important link to the rest of the neighborhood; there <br />should be no sale outright without control through a master plan or other <br />method. i.e. know what the city is getting before selling. <br />♦ More review of the development proposals with neighborhood should <br />occur to gain understanding and support. <br />♦ Connections are important. <br />♦ More curves in roads make the site more suburban in nature, vistas are <br />needed, and larger super blocks are not. <br />♦ Public spaces should include some green area near to or accessible to <br />properties along Centennial and Judith. <br />♦ The detailed design and use must be market driven; selected and <br />promoted by the developer. <br />♦ Provide a mix of townhomes (especially one level) and apartments <br />
