Chair DeBenedet suggested individual members do their own research prior to the <br /> next meeting, for other suburbs, such as the City of Bloomington, MN, as <br /> suggested; and to come to the next meeting with specific recommendations on the <br /> most favorable components to consider for a Roseville Policy. <br /> Mr. Schwartz noted the need to talk about the process as well; how to review it; <br /> whether to use Blaine as a template or another policy; how to obtain public <br /> feedback and the timing and type of meetings for receipt of public comment. <br /> Chair DeBenedet concurred, noting the amount of due diligence that would be <br /> required by the Commission in preparing and recommending this policy; and how <br /> to avoid getting drawn into specific issues when attempting to develop an overall <br /> policy. <br /> Ms. Bloom concurred, noting that, while staff was a strong advocate for public <br /> participation, they were attempting to look at this policy holistically, not with <br /> passion for specific neighborhoods or concerns. Ms. Bloom noted that the public <br /> needed something to react to and on which to provide comment to avoid <br /> difficulties. <br /> Member Stenlund suggested consideration be given to two (2) separate <br /> rating/point systems: one for new construction and one for existing situations, <br /> with two (2) separate scales to determine benefit/cost and incorporating ratings <br /> for retrofits or new designs. <br /> Mr. Schwartz noted that the Comprehensive Plan and the Imagine Roseville 2025 <br /> processes both included considerations for livable neighborhoods and safety <br /> issues. <br /> Ms. Bloom noted that, as the outer suburbs continued to grow, the traffic situation <br /> for Roseville would only continue to grow; and with that increased traffic, <br /> consideration would need to be given for building capacity as well as maintaining <br /> capacity, with traffic pushing into neighborhoods. <br /> Mr. Schwartz concurred, noting that staff had just received word from the <br /> Metropolitan Council that the City's Comprehensive Plan may need amendment <br /> based on the Met Council's most recent system statement related to <br /> transportation, and managing versus expansion, and related impacts to <br /> neighborhoods. <br /> Further discussion on model policies included layout of information and how <br /> effective each component was in the overall picture; and the credibility of the <br /> conclusions. <br /> Page 10 of 12 <br />
