Planning Commission Special Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, September 29, 2010 Page 2 questioned the apparent opposition he’d heard from neighbors in his proposed 48 redevelopment of the property; however, he maintained his rights to use his 49 property as he chose. 50 Mr. Lloyd advised Commissioners and Mr. O’Leary that the parcel(s) were 51 currently zoned R-1 (Single-family residential); but was guided in the 52 Comprehensive Plan update to be designated and rezoned to Institutional use. 53 Mr. Paschke reviewed how and why the property was initially identified as an 54 anomaly property with the Comprehensive Plan guiding them to Institutional, but 55 recommended by staff to reconsider designation and rezoning as Low Density 56 Residential-1 (LDR-1). However, Mr. Paschke advised that, following 57 discussions among School District and City staff, it was determined that, given 58 the proximity of the parcels to an Institutional Use (School), it was appropriate for 59 it to be guided Institutional and guided as such in the Comprehensive Plan; 60 removing those parcels from the other anomaly properties being considered. 61 Mr. Paschke advised that Mr. O’Leary’s next step would be to apply for a 62 Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning to change that designation to 63 LDR (Low Density Residential). 64 Member Wozniak questioned why staff didn’t consider the parcels for MDR 65 (Medium Density Residential) since there were apartment buildings across the 66 street; with Mr. Paschke responding that designation and rezoning could be 67 considered if an application came forward; however, he clarified that such a 68 request was not being staff-driven, or City-initiated. 69 Mr. O’Leary expressed his frustration in this information not being provided more 70 clearly before his significant investment of time in attending past meetings; and 71 expressed his interest in proceeding with an application for land use designation 72 and zoning changes; and further expressed his interest in selling his home in 73 Maplewood and becoming a resident of Roseville. 74 b. From the Commission or Staff 75 In the interest of the majority of those in attendance at tonight’ meeting, and with 76 Commissioner consensus, Chair Doherty amended the agenda to move the 77 Public Hearing for Item 5.3 as the first case to be heard. 78 5. Public Hearings 79 Chair Doherty reviewed the purpose and process for public hearings before the Planning 80 Commission. 81 a.

Mr. Paschke summarized the 92 process subsequent to a citizen addressing the City Council in July of this year, 93 seeking to change the current land use designation of those parcels from the 94 existing HDR (High Density Residential) to LDR (Low Density Residential; and 95 the City Council’s support for the citizen’s request and directing staff to proceed 96 through a process to amend the Comprehensive Plan – Land Use Designation 97 accordingly. In reviewing the parcels in conjunction with other parcels, their land 98 use designation, zoning, and the highest and best use of those properties, Mr. 99
