January 7 1998 <br /> Kim Lee <br /> City Planner <br /> 2660 Civic Center Drive <br /> Roseville, MN 55113-1899 <br /> RE! PLANNING FILE: ##2963 <br /> PROJECT NAME: Bradley Real Estate, Inc. <br /> Dear Ms. Lee.d <br /> am writing on behalf of my family that consists of my husband Blare and our son <br /> Spencer in regard to the proposed site modifications on the corner of Lexington <br /> and Larpenteur. We are in opposition of this for several reasons. <br /> The neighborhood of Roseville/Como is a quaint area with many people who like <br /> us, use walking as their main mode of getting around. It is nice to beable to wall <br /> to the neighboring businesses, running into neighbors along the way. The <br /> community is a nice mix of the original owners, as well as new families. We were <br /> attracted to this particular neighborhood for that reason. The neighborhood has <br /> been really safe. <br /> The only problems that we have collectively is the amount of traffic that chooses to <br /> tale California and our Alley as an alternate route when frustration has mounted <br /> from sitting in traffic through the park, as well as after leaving the MGM. We <br /> realize that this doesn't sound like a big problem but the traffic that drives through <br /> the aliey often leaves beer cans, garbage and spray painted messages along the <br /> gray. <br /> There has been an increase in mirrors loitering in the alley since the opening of <br /> Papa John's. The young kids hang out, smoke, snoop in the windows of <br /> business' after hours and basically male us nervous. Our comfort level has been <br /> reduces with their presence. We do watch out for the business} in the alley, as <br /> they watch out for us. They are a part of the neighborhood and have been very <br /> good to us. That also includes the MGM staff. <br />
