<br />TWIN LAKES FINANCIAL ANALYSIS <br /> <br />Subject: TWIN LAKES FINANCIAL ANALYSIS <br />From: ESANDS2612@aol.com <br />Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 11 :06: 19 EDT <br />To: city.council@ci.roseville.mn.us <br /> <br />The attached analysis is based on date taken from Jim Casserly's financial analysis, <br />pages 2 & 4. <br /> <br />Just when you think you know how the world works, it changes. If one wants to apply <br />zoning to arrive at the highest and best use of its land, it is now clear that multi family <br />housing creates twice the market value per acre as does office, and almost 4 times the <br />market value of retail, ash shown by the attached. Then when you figure in fiscal <br />disparities, etc., housing becomes even more attractive as an "engine" for creating <br />property tax base. <br /> <br />During the stakeholder's meeting, I'm quite sure most of us thought that the retail <br />component was to create the money with which to pay for the housing. Quite the <br />opposite is happening. <br /> <br />It's clear to me at least that the retail component needs to be reduced down--it now takes <br />up 41% of the total project. It needs to come down to 10- 20010, with a change in use to <br />housing or office. <br /> <br />There are many housing options not included in the present plans: high rise rental, niche <br />marketing for singles, etc. I now would agree to buffer the housing along Cleveland and <br />C corner with service retail, that would be an amenity to market niche housing. See the <br />article about St. Louis Park's "Excelsior and Grand: A suburban breath of fresh air", July <br />17. Another excellent idea would be a hotel with convention meeting facilities, as Dino <br />suggested. <br /> <br />Too bad our feet are so set in concrete even though we are supposed to be in the <br />planning stage. Too bad we're so locked in to this plan, and these developers. We need <br />to step back and take a breath, get our imaginations soaring, and do what's right for the <br />long term of Roseville. <br /> <br />.Jl{ Sands <br /> <br />1 of 1 <br /> <br />7/19/2004 10:23 AM <br />
