Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, November 08, 2010 <br /> Page 11 <br /> with a number of those children having mental and /or physical handicaps. As a <br /> former lawyer, Mr. Rivard asked that the City Council put their actions, if any, in <br /> writing, expressing his distrust of Presbyterian Homes in keeping their verbal <br /> word. <br /> Ms. Kris Kauffman, 3122 Shorewood Drive <br /> Ms. Kauffman advised that she was not a Roseville or Arden Hills resident, but <br /> was a property owner bordering on Shorewood Drive, but had inherited that prop- <br /> erty from her mother who had lived there for eighteen years. Ms. Kauffman <br /> opined that the proposed project would change the entire scope of the neighbor- <br /> hood; was proposed to be a four year construction project with heavy equipment; <br /> additional traffic would be detrimental; and that the proposed screening for the <br /> new buildings offered little screening for at least seven years. Ms. Kauffman also <br /> expressed concern regarding the health factors with construction dust over a long <br /> period of time. <br /> Mayor Klausing thanked speakers for their comment and proposed a letter from <br /> the Roseville City Council to the Arden Hills City Council, highlighting the fol- <br /> lowing points: <br /> Asking for a proposed traffic study south of Wheeler Street and Shorewood <br /> Lane; <br /> Asking that Presbyterian Homes consider closing the road from the brown- <br /> stone buildings to the main road; <br /> Asking that consideration be given to moving the driveway further west so it <br /> doesn't directly align with Wheeler Street; and <br /> Asking that the City of Arden Hills facilitate conversation between the Rose- <br /> ville residential neighborhoods and Presbyterian Homes (Councilmember Pust <br /> request). <br /> Councilmember Johnson suggested that consideration perhaps be given to desig- <br /> nating the exit onto County Road D as right turn only to alleviate traffic onto <br /> Wheeler Street. <br /> Councilmember Pust expressed concern that Roseville residents impacted by the <br /> proposed redevelopment had been excluded from notice of the project. <br /> Councilmember Roe questioned how state and local municipal requirements were <br /> taken into consideration when the radius of notice was determined. <br /> City Attorney Mark Gaughan advised that notice requirements didn't stop at polit- <br /> ical boundaries. <br /> John Merkens, Representative of Presbyterian Homes <br />
