Roseville Planning Commission Application <br />Miriam E. Stone <br />REASONS FOR WANTING TO SERVE ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION <br />I am committed to seeing public bodies achieve excellence in service. Citizens expect <br />and deserve fresh innovative solutions to the challenges facing their communities. They <br />also deserve dedication to making the most of the opportunities presented to their <br />communities. <br />That said, a planning commission has the challenge of balancing competing land use <br />interests and the opportunity to put into motion the vision and plan of its community. <br />These two broad features of a planning commission are what draw me to seek a position <br />on Roseville's Planning Commission. <br />My legislative and legal experience has been focused on land use, development, <br />redevelopment, environmental regulatory concerns, public financing (special <br />assessments, bonds, utilities, fees), municipal governance, long range planning and <br />personnel. This experience is particularly appropriate for translation into the various <br />tasks assigned to a planning commission - even the personnel issue as there are many <br />interpersonal, data practices and open meeting law concerns that cross through every <br />municipal activity. <br />I want to assist Roseville in meeting the planning needs facing its residents, developers, <br />property owners and businesses. I believe I can bring to the Planning Commission a <br />perspective that is beyond the traditional regulatory box, while respecting the strengths of <br />an established first-tier suburb. <br />MY VIEW OF TFIE PLANNING COMMISSION'S ROLE <br />It appears the rote activities of a planning commission will involve comprehensive <br />planning for the physical development and redevelopment of a Roseville, providing <br />zoning recommendations, suggestions for official actions to be taken to implement plans, <br />and reporting to various decision-making bodies regarding the status of the community. <br />Those activities involve, but are not limited to, recommendations involving: <br />1. Comprehensive Planning <br />a. land use classification <br />b. transportation systems <br />c. housing needs <br />d. sanitary sewer, storm sewer and drinking water infrastructure needs <br />
