<br />, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />4) Requesting specific project information seems prudent given the site's size and shape, <br />existing easements and topography. Consideration does not preclude approvaL <br />Supporting facts and design details should stand on their own merit or be modified as <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />These statements are consistent with my previous comments. Perhaps with a little up <br />front time and effort, Beacon could have "sold" the project to our governing body and <br />citizens. Instead, unfortunately, there is perception that an attempt was made to slip it <br />Ihrough. I honestly hope contention will not impede productive dialog or satisfactory <br />resolution on this issue. <br /> <br />Regarding rezoning of the property, my feelings are mixed. I trust the council to make <br />the best decision as this change is considered. In closing, this may also be the best time <br />to coordinate with preliminary information, if any is available from MNfDOT or a traffic <br />engineer, on planned upgrades to the bridge or freeway width that could effect future <br />changes to the grade of surrounding roads. If that potential exists, it could bear on the <br />most appropriate elevation for first floor level and final grade of a current development. <br /> <br />Good luck to all as deliberations continue. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~~~::=t <br /> <br />3743 New Brighton Rd <br />Arden Hills, MN <br /> <br />PS. It is true that my husband, Jolm, and I own property north of Cottage Villas that <br />Bethel considered purchasing. However, it is not true that my interest in this proposed <br />development is motivated by the fact that they declined on that purchase. It is an affront <br />that public concern is interpreted as a desire to block development. As property owners <br />and taxpayers, we have a vested interest in the quality of our neighborhood and <br />community. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />
