• � Page 2 of � With regards to the map of the Twin Lakes Parkway, Community Development staff will consult with Public Works staff to try to locate an electronic copy of the map. I believe, however, that the scaled map that was recorded with the Ramsey County Recorder's Office may be the best available document. Please let Jamie know if you have any further informational needs and let me know if you need any further policy guidance. - John Stark, A/CP - Director, Department of Community Development - City of Rosevil/e - 651-792-7071 From: John Livingston [mailto:livingston@cognoscente.biz] Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2007 11;57 PM To: Jamie Radel; John Stark Cc: Thomas Paschke Subject: PUD and Re-zoning application Twin Lakes Dear John, Jamie and Thomas, Thank you for your time today (Friday). Please let this email serve to confirm my understanding of our meeting today with regard to my proposed submission for development of the Xtra Lease property on Cleveland Avenue. I have reviewed with you a preliminary concept for a hotel and restaurant on the parcel which is approximately 3.49 acres in size. You have confirmed the following: 1. The submission only needs to apply for a PUD and Re-zoning (and possibly sub-division) 2. Only 3 votes of the council are needed for its approval. 3. No Met Council approval is needed. 4. No Comprehensive Plan change is needed for our submission (although you mentioned that the Council may feel differently about that) We also discussed ingress and egress from Cleveland. You said approval of ingress/egress to the developed property from Cleveland, as a part of a PUD approval, would need to be reviewed by your traffic department and may not be available at all. You believed that a PUD application might require the development of part of Twin Lakes Parkway and an access point to the Xtra property from Twin Lakes. You also said, very clearly and repeatedly, that Roseville had no current plans to build Twin Lakes Parkway. During our previous meeting on February 7th, I asked you if you planned to build a portion of the Parkway to enable access to the Xtra site and you said no. After that meeting Jamie Radel emailed me a copy of the Officially Mapped Right of Way containing text and a copy of a drawing so I could accurately reflect the impact of the ROW on the Xtra property. However, that drawing can not be used by my land design team as it has neither any reference points or dimensions. Even if it is to scale I doubt it can be used to correctly place the ROW due to the lack of reference points. You said that you do not have any other information about the ROW. You said also that the drawing was to scale but could not have full scale copy and suggested I obtain a copy of the scale drawing from Ramsey County. I emailed you (Friday) a request for your authorization of the release by the survey company and ROW designer of the to scale drawing and electronic file. You asked me to work with you to develop Twin Lakes Parkway and I have offered to cooperate with you and respond to any specific request or direction you may have. I can not, however, engage in roadway development for that is beyond my ability and the scope of this project. I am concerned because you have left me with the impression that permission to build on the Xtra parcel may be contingent upon the Parkway being constructed and there is no plan to undertake that by Roseville. The land necessary for the parkway, even the limited amount needed to provide access, is owned by a private land owner who has never been willing to engage in any discussions with me. This leaves the development potential of the Xtra property in serious question. Your 03/19/2007
