From: Marilyn Salay a To: Bryan Lloyd, Pat Trudgeon, Thomas Paschke � Hello. I own a home directly across from North Como Church where these "community � gardens" are being planned. � I am very fi-ustrated and disappointed in both the "church" and the "City of Roseville" for � permitting such a unsuitable location for such a project. s I would list all the negatives but professionally you should be aware of the con's since that is you �c as a city employees are getting paid to do. I do feel it indeed a"noble" project but not a good fit � � to the location. The church has not invited the neighbors to the table to inform them as to what � 2 they propose. They have no interest whatsoever is being a good neighbor since they do not live � 3 there in the nearby area to this "garden". And a huge factor is Chatsworth and Larpenteur is a � � busy intersection enough. Trying to enter on to Larpenteur is difficult with 2 lanes of traffic �� both ways, bicycles traveling and people walking the sidewalks. As persons tend these gardens I � F can anticipate their children running about and a accident waiting to occur( which for the � � records, please note for future reference.) i� I deplore the church for the lack of being "neighborhood-friendly" and I also fault the city for not �� wishing to get involved in this 'neighborhood" proposal for the betterment of all residents 2^ involved. Yes, I am aware of your ordinances, etc, but given the scope and location of this ��' garden this is not in the neighborhood interest which as a city you should be involved. 22 The neighborhoods I have spoke with feel strongly about this issue and will proceed as necessary �:� to make our concerns known to the council, thru the media, etc. L� And one last item, I feel it is the City's responsibility to provide public gardens---not the �� churches. Again, why do we pay taxes to the city as to the best of my knowledge the church pays �F� none! !! I do recall years ago when a"garden" for the public was offered off Larpenteur between 2� Dale and Rice. Maybe if the city would take on these "public" ventures, churches would not feel 2� the need. 29 Wake up Roseville!! 3o With respect, 3^, Marilyn 32 North Como Community Gardens 33 Mon 5/11/2010 4:05 PM 34 From: Marilyn Salay s� To: Bill Malinen, Bryan Lloyd 36 I am writing to express my disappointment with the City relative to allowing these Communinity :�� Gardens to be placed in a residential neighborhood area. I did speak with Mr. Bryan when I first 3� learned ot the project and he indicated it was mostly for charitable purposes (food shel fl and ?� there is no charge for the plots. Either Mr. Bryan is not honest or upfront about this proposal or ac the church is not truthful to him. I attended both meetings and was very dismayed about the a; church's not involving the neighborhood regarding this project all along (as they said they a2 followed this one guide and the first step on this guide was to involve the neighborhood. Also I 43 emailed Mr. Bryan but no courtesy reply. Obviously Mr. Bryan as City Planner is biased and a� very supportive of the church--with no regard to neighbor's input.
