FW: Twin Lakes development. >what's left of the park will be TOTALLY destroyed. > >Lastly, you have planned for Senior rental units similar to these >which were just built in Falcon Heights, just few blocks fi'om my >residence. Many of these senior rental units were built through out >the cities these past few years and they all show vacancies. Go to >Dale and Maryland, Rice Street and Little Canada Road and see for >yourselves. What make you think you'll have more success. >Considering the traffic inconvenience, noise and nuisance, all >things that our elderly fii.ends try to avoid, I do not know if your >building will have more success. Many of myoId neighbors mends >actually refuse to move into such units: they own their houses! Why >would they start paying rent again? > > Y ou came to live in a city and came to enjoy what it had to offer~ >its beauty and its parks. Wouldn't you think it would be fair for >your kids to enjoy the same environment? If you don't enjoy these >park, is this fair to deprive those who enjoy them, or moved in >these neighborhood because of them? Do you plan to live a long time >in Roseville and do you want your children and grandchildren to have >a chance to enjoy the peace, quiet that these parks bring. Do you >think that more revenues (still to be proven) that will profit only >few and maybe the city budget will make their lives better? > > We all have to realize that sustained development has to become part >of our everyday thinking. This project holds many risks and >uncertainty in addition to destroying a natural habitat for plants >and animal, habitat that disappear more every day. Please reconsider >your positions in these matters. I apologize if my letter was a >little irnflammatory, but this area needs so much our protection for >future generations to enjoy. > > Thank you for your time and consideration. > >Best regards, > >Jean-Paul SchirlC-Keller > 12/5/2004 11:01 PM 20f2
