Attachment D 1:=w From: Cheryl Wallin Sent: Satuirday, MarCh 1 2) 2011 9:39 PM To: *RVCounciI Subject: Josephine Wood slWaII ii n Pulte Homme's "Josephine Woods" proposal Ros,eville Mayor and Council Members, As a resident on los,ephine Road, I was, disturbed to recently find out the Ros,eville Planning Commis,s,ion is recommending approval of a new development "Josephine Woods," which will impact the traffic on los,ephine Road without notification and/or dis,cus,s,ion with all residents, who will be most impacted by this development. While my husband and I are not against this development, we are greatly disturbed in the proces,s, that was used for them to recommend approval of such a development without at least soliciting our input. It is our understanding that the projections, are for this development to generate an additional 286 vehicle trips, per day., some percentage of which will utilize los,ephine Road. Since we are "late to the party". it is unclear to us, why it makes, more sense to add traffic to the intersection of los,ephine Road and Hamline vers,us, opening County Road C2. This change to the proposal would allow this traffic to utilize the intersection of C2 and Hamline which your traffic study s,hows, has two-thirds, les,s, traffic than the Josephine/Hamline intersection (1,05 vs, 35 - A.M. Peak Hour Volume and 70 vs, 25 - P.M. Peak Hour Volume). We are asking that the Mayor and Council Members, recognize the well intended but misguided attempt to get this project approved by the Planning Commission by delaying approval of this project until the April 11th Council meetin . Such a minor delay would allow us, and our neighbors, a reasonable amount of time to research the planning commis,s,ion's, recommendations, as well as to fully understand the traffic study. Thank you for your consideration. Cheryl Wallin 1,255 Josephine Road Page 24 of 25
