<br />T\vin Lakes <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />November 14,2003 <br /> <br />2. As the Inaster developer, we would be responsible for the preparation of a nlaster <br />plan, reflective of the aspirations of a number of parties and stakeholders, but <br />nlost inlportantly, reflective of the vision of the City. <br /> <br />3. As the master developer we would be responsible for coordinating the efforts of <br />specialized developnlent firms such as Roseville Properties, Welsh Companies <br />and the Ryan Companies. Given the complex nature of infrastTucture <br />improvements required to suppOIi the development such as transportation <br />ilnprovelllents, stornl water management facilities, etc. a Blaster developer is <br />required to balance these costs to insure all parties contribute fairly to the overall <br />development. Specifically, we are cUITently working with the Welsh Companies <br />and the Ryan COlnpanies in other developnlent projects throughout the Twin <br />Cities. <br /> <br />4. Someone has to accept the responsibility and burden for insuring the <br />implementation of the long-ternl nlaster plan of Twin Lakes. The master <br />developer provides the City with direct accountability and responsibility for the <br />realization of the vision, goals and objectives of the City's plan. <br /> <br />5. Significant environnlental clean-up work is required to allow the development to <br />go forward. Since this environmental clean-up work does not follow property <br />lines currently or as part of the Twin Lakes plans, one entity such as the master <br />developer is best equipped to complete this work on a timely efficient and <br />economical basis. <br /> <br />In the interest of nloving the T\vin Lakes Redeveloplnent forward, we \vould ask the <br />Council to designate The Rottlund Company, Inc., doing business as David Bell1ard <br />Builders and Developers, as tentative master developer, pending the conlpletion of a <br />formal development agreement consistent \vith the objectives of the T\vin Lakes <br />Redevelopment Area Plan. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or cOTIlIDents, please feel free to contact me at 651-638- <br />0500. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />Todd M. Stutz <br />President, David Bernard Builders and Developers <br /> <br />enc <br />
