Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, June 02, 2010 Page 2 Mr. Paschke reviewed the proposed zoning districts, with efforts made to simplify 44 and consolidate the current number of districts, with each district designation 45 renamed to avoid confusion. Mr. Paschke further reviewed the numerous public 46 informational meetings held to-date for public comment. Mr. Paschke advised 47 that staff had compiled approximately sixty-seven (67) anomaly properties that 48 will require further consideration of Comprehensive Plan land Use amendments 49 before rezoning, and that those properties would be addressed at a later date. 50 Staff recommended approval of the City’s rezoning as presented in the DRAFT 51 OFFICIAL ROSEVILLE ZONING MAP for consistency with the recently-updated 52 and adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan. 53 Mr. Paschke indicated to the Commission the Planning Staff calls and e-mails, 54 mostly related to clarifying single-family residential district designation changes to 55 low-density residential (LDR-1) designation. 56 Bench handouts were provided that had been received since distribution of the 57 agenda packet, most specific to the Har Mar Mall area, and/or reconstruction of 58 the Rice Street/Highway 36 area (Calibre Ridge). 59 Discussion among staff and Commissioners included clarifying the specific 60 zoning designation proposed for Har Mar Mall and adjacent southern property; 61 examples of several current zoning map designations that were inconclusive; 62 clarification by staff of misinformation alleging the City’s intent, as alleged in a 63 recent neighborhood flyer, to open up Ryan, Shryer, Skillman, Belmont or Burke 64 for additional access to Har Mar, with assurances that any such proposal would 65 be currently prohibited as well as any future access proposals at that residential 66 location; and additional clarification by staff that there was no intent to remove 67 the existing fence separating Har Mar Mall from the southern residential 68 properties, without a Public Hearing for consideration of amendment to Har Mar’s 69 existing site plan. 70 Additional discussion included the consideration of the numerous “anomaly” 71 properties as possible Comprehensive Plan Amendments, requiring a public 72 hearing process, once their designations had been defined and 73 recommendations were forthcoming for consideration; with final zoning map 74 adoption occurring later in the process. 75 Public Comment 76 A Bench Handout consisting of five (5) e-mails was included as part of the 77 record, attached hereto and made a part thereof. Written comment included e- 78 mails from Heidi and Neil Nelson, 1442 Ryan Avenue W; Steve and Mary 79 Halverson, 1447 Ryan Avenue W; Cindy Schwie, 1383 Ryan Avenue W; Loren 80 Hockemeyer, 161 Elmer Street; and John Duffy, Calibre Ridge Development 81 (intersection of Rice Street and Highway 36). 82 Ilona Rouda, 946 Lydia Drive 83 Ms. Rouda addressed the City’s value of single-family neighborhoods; and 84 expressed concern about the ever-growing number of cars parking on streets in 85 those neighborhoods, and asked if there was any resolution available. 86 Chair Doherty respectfully recognized that Ms. Rouda’s concerns were not 87 unique in Roseville; however, reminded the audience that those concerns were 88 not part of this evening’s hearing, and could be addressed to staff. 89 Jane Apman, 2989 Victoria Street N 90 Ms. Apman requested that staff clarify the proposed land use designations rather 91 than using the acronyms, which Mr. Paschke clarified, specifically overlay 92 districts created for those lots platted prior to May of 1959, and recent proposed 93 revisions to make smaller lots legally conforming as opposed to their current 94 status as legal nonconforming. 95
