Ms. Ward Rannow reminded 966 Commissioners of the attraction for young families to purchase homes in Roseville allowing for 967 larger lots and more back yard space. Ms. Ward Rannow requested that the Commission consid 968 their rationale for proposed design standards, and if they were based only on aesthetics and 969 whether they were practical for Roseville's older housing stock; and perhaps making other 970 communities more attractive in the long -run than Roseville. 971 Discussion among Commissioners included variance applications; defining what the language "to 972 the extent feasible" meant; necessity for providing flexibility in the zoning code language; and 973 individual concerns with proposed design standards. 974 Jim Anderson, 2085 Marion Street (SW corner of Burke and Marion) 975 Mr. Anderson addressed current and proposed setback language specific to corner lots. Mr. 976 Anderson advised that he was considering a garage on the back of his property (a corner lot) and 977 whether the proposed language would significantly or negatively impact those plans and accesses. 978 Paul Johnston, 1406 Burke Avenue 979 Off microphone, Mr. Johnston spoke in opposition to the Commission's attempts to codify 980 aesthetics, referencing page 7, paragraph 3 (1003.08 LDR) of the proposed zoning language 981 related to Open Space and utilities, dimensions and other standards. 982 Mr. Paschke noted that each case was different, but that they were all required to meet specific 983 restrictions when making improvements, and that an engineer would determine whether a specific 984 improvement and parcel met storm water runoff mitigation requirements. 985 Mr. Johnston futher opined that, while the Commission noted citizens attempting to dictate what 986 private property owners did on their property (i.e., Har Mar Mall), the proposed zoning language 987 was doing the same thing. 988 Chair Doherty recessed the Public comment section for this item at 10:50 p.m., due to the lateness 989 of the hour, and suggested that it be continued to the July 2010 meeting. 990 MOTION 991 Member Gottfried moved, seconded by Member Gisselquist to CONTINUE this Public 992 Hearing and consideration of this item at the July 2010 meeting.
