From:Mimi <br />To:Matthew Bachler <br />Subject:Pres Homes project #14-031 <br />Date:Saturday, September 20, 2014 12:19:32 AM <br />Dear Mr. Bachler: <br />RE: Project: PC#: 14-031 Presbyterian Homes 3200 Lake Johanna Boulevard <br /> <br /> I'm writing to state my objection to Presbyterian Homes building four more Assisted <br /> Living apartment buildings on the subject property located at 3200 Lake Johanna <br /> Boulevard. The currently planned setback for the Brownstones, without these <br /> additional rental units, would help to create an "illusion" that we still live in a <br /> residentially zoned neighborhood. Ample open space, particularly public parks, <br /> between multifamily and single family developments create value for everyone. Future <br /> home buyers, I believe, will judge our neighborhood by it's surrounding land use <br /> impacts and this development is a big one! Why make the problem bigger? <br /> <br /> The negative visual, traffic and decreased property value impacts that surrounding <br /> homeowners are feeling as a result of this tall, sprawling, multifamily complex are <br /> significant without the Brownstones or apartments. <br /> <br />The speed bumps also need to stay in place, in addition to the Wheeler street closure, <br /> since this complex has, in effect, been inserted into the middle of our low density, long <br /> established, single family neighborhood. <br /> <br />The construction of more apartment buildings will further hurt our residential property <br /> values, while Presbyterian Homes rakes in $big rents. This PUD amendment, if <br /> approved, will represent poor community planning where, once again, corporate profits <br /> take precedence, over property rights of taxpaying citizens! <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Marian Stewart <br />Latest Homes LLC <br />3088 Shorewood Lane <br />Roseville, MN 55103 <br />mimistewartellis@gmail.com
