(Planning File #2963) is planning for the <br /> � <br /> 159 La nteur' Ave. W. From a standpoint of the plans for the facelift of the main <br /> pmf� at r <br /> . e Shopping Center it is long overdue and will be a welcome addition to our neighf (bood. <br /> building of#� I�p <br /> Furthermore the demolition of the Fina Gas Station and the demolition of what was formerly the <br /> Margolis Nursery has also enhanced the overall appearance of the Shopping Center. <br /> Since we <br /> live in what is undeniably the cicset residential area to the south of the proposed protect we <br /> are most <br /> concerned as to the impact the proposed Taco Bell would have on our properties and our <br /> everyday lives. <br /> We have no issues with Taco Bell, anybody who has eaten at one of their restaurants know that they <br /> Serve a g meal at a reasonable puree. Although a do have several concerns, most importantly <br /> being hours of operation. We feel any late night operation of this restaurant would trot he in keeping <br /> rail feel and corrtinu' of our neighborhood.Anything after 10 PIVI weekdays and 11 pm on <br /> with the overall would be catering#�the after <br /> the weekends. Wouid not be serving the sunmunding neighborhood but � <br /> bar cmwd. <br /> 1 personally drive by the Taco Bell at 565 Snelling Ave. N. after midnight on my way home from work. <br /> I see cars lined up <br /> at the dare thr u with radios blasting and people loitering in the parking lot. They <br /> are,pen until 1 <br /> AM weekdays and 2 AM weekends. l called the Taco Bell In Stillwater and they close <br /> at 1 gprn everyday. <br /> We feel that would be more in keeping with what is a residerftial area to the south <br /> of Larpente ur. <br /> The anther issues we have ,mostly dead with traffic and pedestrian flow in what is already a very <br /> pa <br /> congested parking lot and hope the City of Roseville does something to address those issues. <br /> g <br /> W e <br /> We hope that the planning commission takes these issue into consideration when making its <br /> recommendation to the City Council <br /> Sincerely, <br /> i r <br /> - .1 -- <br /> Brian D.
