<br />Page 10f2 <br /> <br />Hellegers, Peter <br /> <br />From; <br />Sent; <br />To; <br />Cc; <br /> <br />WIEMANN9@aol.com <br />Sunday, May 01. 200512:13 PM <br />peter. hellegers@ci.arden-hills.mn.us <br />Donna. wie man n@ci.minneapolis.mn.us <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Subject: PC#05-12 <br />Follow Up Flag: Follow up <br />Flag Status; Completed <br /> <br />Dear Peter, <br />I reside at 1406 Arden View Drive which is directly south of the vacant Arden Hills public works building. My <br />husband and I are 30 year residents of Arden Hills.__.a great community. <br /> <br />I have read Ihe rr,aterials about the proposed PUD for 30 office condos and my husband attended the first <br />meeting about this topic. I offer the following comments and request your response: <br /> <br />1. Currently there is considerable amount of vacant office and business space in the metro area. I realize that <br />the proposed condo office will be ownership, however <br /> <br />a) has there been a market study and, fi so. what does the market study say? <br />b) will the City require Royal Oaks Realty to have presold a certain percentage of the space prior to sale of the <br />property or will the development be completely speculative? <br />c) what will be the size of each condo space? <br />d) what will be the sale price per square foot of the condo space <br />e) has the Ctiy received in the recent past inquires from business owners looking for space in Arden Hills____getting <br />back to the question of how likely will the spaces be sold? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. I strongly encourage that the City hold the developer to its maximum height for parking light poles. I am <br />assuming that the lighting will be on at night and would like to know how the lights will impact the residential area <br />to the south to the extent it can be determined at this time. <br /> <br />3. Who will be the property management company for the office condos? <br /> <br />4. Is there a possibility that the # of condo units could be reduced? If a reduced # of condos were developed, <br />e.g 24 condo units, what are the repercussions e.g would the project still be a go, would the numbers work, and <br />so forth. <br /> <br />5. Was the property in quesiton RFP'd? What is the background leading up to the City considering a propoeral <br />from Royal Oaks Realty? <br /> <br />6. Right now there are some dead and dying trees on the CtlY property north of the property line between my <br />home and the former public works maintenace garage. I know they will be removed and want to encourage City <br />staff to really push for plenty of trees to be planted along the south side of the the developn.,ent to insure the best <br />buffer possible. <br /> <br />7. I suggest that the City require the developer to put money in the development budget for insuring satisfaction <br />of the projject development. For example, if there turns out to be a huge problem with the trees or landscaping <br />serving as a buffer, that the developer has money available to work out the problems. Or if there is a problwem <br />wityh drainage and the developer needs to remedy I am certain there are other examples. but this is the only <br />one I can think of at this time. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />5/27/2005 <br />
