<br />this is a reasonable and prudent request, given the many, varied and passionate viewpoints,
<br />regarding the proposal and the impact it will have on our entire community. We would
<br />greatly appreciate your consideration of this request, and look forward to your reply.

<br />Duane, thank you for your reply. I attended the Planning Commis,s,ion meeting tonight. The
<br />traffic impact study was briefly discussed by Debra Bloom, but there was a lot to absorb in a
<br />very short amount of time Bottom line, as you expressed below, your commis,s,ion does, not
<br />believe that this new development is enough of a trigger to warrant opening, up Cty C2 at this
<br />point. Those of us, who live on los,ephine and Fern wood disagree and would argue that the
<br />tipping point has long passed, and that we are disproportionately sharing an increased level
<br />of traffic that we would not otherwise have primarily because Cty C2 is not open between
<br />Lexington and Hamline. This traffic burden will only increase for los,ephine and Fern wood
<br />with the new development. We are not as,king, that Cty C2 bear all the burden, we only as,k
<br />that it help share the burden. I was disappointed that the commis,s,ion approved the proposal
<br />as is
<br />As for the public notice., there was, none. I was, on the phone with Council Member Tammy
<br />McGehee yesterday who personally went to your own webs,ite to look up the information for me
<br />(she was curious,, as well), and your webs,ite stated that an open house date would be posted
<br />In the near future. In addition., the Pulte representative admitted tonight that they'd hoped
<br />to have a community open house 11 prior to tonight I s, meetin , but had not. He then proceeded
<br />to say that he would try to call one in the next week or so., now that they have gathered
<br />input from the community at tonight 's, meeting'. This s,eems, completely backwards, to me, and I
<br />would hope it would raise concern on the part of the Planning Committee and the City Council.
<br />I am curious, as to what Ros,eville's, protocol is for community open hous,es, and what happens,
<br />when it is not followed. Please advis,e.
<br />As I mentioned before, I only learned about the proposal being discussed at this meeting on
<br />Monday of this week. I'm certain many neighbors, still do not know. With so many
<br />s,chools,/families, being on spring break over the coming few weeks,., it does, not feel like we
<br />are being given adequate time to absorb and/or respond to the propos,al.
