Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, June 02, 2010 Page 17 them to extend the garage forward of the current façade. Ms. Ward-Rannow 816 advised that proposed zoning code language for residential design standards 817 would no longer allow that configuration, and would require substantial revision of 818 their plans and additional costs, and may not make the addition feasible. Ms. 819 Ward Rannow reminded Commissioners of the attraction for young families to 820 purchase homes in Roseville allowing for larger lots and more back yard space. 821 Ms. Ward-Rannow requested that the Commission consider their rationale for 822 proposed design standards, and if they were based only on aesthetics and 823 whether they were practical for Roseville’s older housing stock; and perhaps 824 making other communities more attractive in the long-run than Roseville. 825 Discussion among Commissioners included variance applications; defining what 826 the language “to the extent feasible” meant; necessity for providing flexibility in 827 the zoning code language; and individual concerns with proposed design 828 standards. 829 Jim Anderson, 2085 Marion Street (SW corner of Burke and Marion) 830 Mr. Anderson addressed current and proposed setback language specific to 831 corner lots. Mr. Anderson advised that he was considering a garage on the back 832 of his property (a corner lot) and whether the proposed language would 833 significantly or negatively impact those plans and accesses. 834 Paul Johnston, 1406 Burke Avenue 835 Off microphone, Mr. Johnston spoke in opposition to the Commission’s attempts 836 to codify aesthetics, referencing page 7, paragraph 3 (1003.08 LDR) of the 837 proposed zoning language related to Open Space and utilities, dimensions and 838 other standards. 839 Mr. Paschke noted that each case was different, but that they were all required to 840 meet specific restrictions when making improvements, and that an engineer 841 would determine whether a specific improvement and parcel met storm water 842 runoff mitigation requirements. 843 Mr. Johnston futher opined that, while the Commission noted citizens attempting 844 to dictate what private property owners did on their property (i.e., Har Mar Mall), 845 the proposed zoning language was doing the same thing. 846 Chair Doherty recessed the Public comment section for this item at 10:50 p.m., 847 due to the lateness of the hour, and suggested that it be continued to the July 848 2010 meeting. 849 MOTION 850 Member Gottfried moved, seconded by Member Gisselquist to CONTINUE 851 this Public Hearing and consideration of this item at the July 2010 meeting. 852 Ayes: 7 853 Nays: 0 854 Motion carried. 855 c.
