MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTII'4BER 5, 1995 <br />will be housing on Rice Street. This is a shi£t since <br />Rice Street was envisioned as a commercial corridor. <br />Scalze again stated that she disagreed with the 3 to 5 <br />year time period. Scalze felt that time period <br />indicates that the City wants to see something happen <br />quickly. <br />Pedersen pointed out that the residential use alonq <br />Rice Street is what causes the node concept versus <br />strip concept. <br />Morelan agreed, and stated that he had no problem with <br />residential development along Rice Street provided is <br />was the right type of development. <br />Scalze was concerned about the interpretation of <br />residential development, pointing out that to some <br />people this would mean a 3-story apartment complex. <br />Pedersen pointed out that if the residential is <br />acceptable on Rice Street, the Planning Commission <br />should take this into consideration in their work on <br />the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Knudsen pointed out that having residential between the <br />commercial nodes is critical to the picture being <br />painted, that is the sidewalk and trail development <br />proposed. <br />Barraclough pointed out that the target markets listed <br />are in priority order with regard to market demand. <br />Fahey questioned the statement on page 3.13 which <br />indicates streets would be designed to be a place for <br />human activity. Fahey asked how this was done. <br />Chamberlain replied that the attempt is to show streets <br />as an important public place. Streets will tie the <br />nodes together. <br />Morelan suggested that it would be beneficial if the <br />speed limit on Rice Street were lowered to 30 miles per <br />hour. <br />Schroeder agreed, and indicated that this <br />recommendation would be included in the Guide. <br />Pedersen pointed out the sidewalk development occurring <br />on the Roseville side of Rice Street. <br />12 <br />
