Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 20,2011 <br /> Page 23 <br /> member McGehee further opined that the City was providing a massive amount of <br /> infrastructure that residents of Roseville would need to pay to maintain, with <br /> many of those residents facing significant expenditures to do something that may <br /> jeopardize development in this area. With further consideration for the possibility <br /> of a Vikings stadium north of Roseville that may make a significant difference in <br /> how and if this area develops, and having a huge impact on what happens with <br /> this roadway, Councilmember McGehee opined that she didn't think the City <br /> should go after federal funds for more staff expenditures that would ultimately <br /> have the effect of impeding development in this area; and further burden residents <br /> required to maintain roadways not designed for their use. <br /> Pust moved, Johnson seconded, authorizing the City Manager to contract with <br /> SFR Consulting Group, Inc. to prepare environmental documentation for the Twin <br /> Lakes AUAR Subarea I Infrastructure Improvement. <br /> Councilmember Pust spoke in support of the motion; opining that it was a great <br /> idea, and since grant funds had already been applied for, and this was one of the <br /> only areas available for development in Roseville, it seemed prudent to complete <br /> the investment already made to-date by Roseville citizens. <br /> Mayor Roe opined that the question as to the need for the roadway had already <br /> been demonstrated by traffic studies completed over the last decade, not thirty <br /> (30) years ago; and whether or not the roadway would impede development, was <br /> up to the developers, even though the roadway had been mapped for years. <br /> Councilmember McGehee opined that this was an example of the piecemeal work <br /> that comes to the City Council one more time to put something in for which there <br /> was no real plan; and expressed her disappointment in spending money on it. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Johnson; Willmus; Pust; and Roe. <br /> Nays: McGehee. <br /> Motion carried. <br /> b. Consider City Abatement for Unresolved Violations of City Code at 2941 <br /> Rice Street <br /> Permit Coordinator Don Munson reviewed the violation at this single-family de- <br /> tached home located at 2941 Rice Street, currently in foreclosure with the owners, <br /> James and Sheril Dunaway, stating they are to vacate the home by July 11, 2011. <br /> Mr. Munson provided an update on this public complaint of a dilapidated garage <br /> and shed in significant disrepair and in danger of partial collapse. Mr. Munson <br /> noted that notice had been sent to the property owner of record, as well as the <br /> bank holding the mortgage, identifying the specific City Code violations, the act <br /> of condemnation, and requesting that the detached garage and shed be repaired or <br />
