<br />TO: Grandview Townhome Association Residents <br /> <br /> <br />FROM: Stew Thornley, President, Grandview Townhome Association <br /> <br />January 3,2001 <br /> <br />Some of you received a notice about this from the city already, but we wanted to make sure all <br />residents were aware of what is happening with the vacant lot along Lexington Avenue, just to the west <br />of our development. Officially, it is the property at 2330 Lexington Avenue: Lot 4, Block 1, Rose of <br />Sharon 2nd Addition, Ramsey County, Minnesota (pID: 1129233200050). <br /> <br />An outfit called McKinley Companies has requested a "Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment <br />(High Density Residential to Business), a Rezoning (Single Family to Planned Unit Development with <br />a base zoning of B-1, Limited Business District), and Planned United Development 'General Concept <br />Plan review of a five-unit office condominium development.'" <br /> <br />The city sent me a copy of the application, which includes a narrative description that gives us a little <br />better idea of what to expect. Here it is: <br /> <br />The proposed site as seen in the site plans preserves the existing trees, making <br />landscaping in character with the existing conditions. Drainage on the site goes to the <br />northeast corner of the lot, which is the low point of the lot where the natural run-off <br />occurs. The architecture is in likeness to Kinderberry Hill pre-school and the multi- <br />family project (Grandview townhomes) with gabled roof trusses, wood material siding, <br />asphalt shingles, and brick. The new office/condos will be complimentary to its <br />neighbors. <br /> <br />The traffic being created enters into the same entrance as Kinderberry Hill. The <br />building will have a maximum of five different businesses creating a potential of seven <br />personnel per unit, making a small impact on traffic compared to Kinderberry Hill. <br />Because the office/condo complex is office use, the noise impact will simply be car <br />traffic and waste management at the north end of the building. The parking lot will <br />have five proposed lights that will be designed in such a way to avoid interference with <br />traffic on Lexington Avenue. <br /> <br />The demand for this type of office/condo project is great. Considering the research, <br />this type of product has been successful in municipalities, including Roseville on <br />Hamline Avenue and Little Canada on Rice Street. Many small firms like attorneys, <br />accountants, marketing groups, financial consultants, and internet companies find that <br />owning their own space is an asset to the bottom line. <br /> <br />Overall, this doesn't sound too bad, although there are still a lot of issues to be addressed and questions <br />to be answered. <br /> <br />One deals with drainage so that we don't end up with additional run-off in our development. A bigger <br />issue involves traffic and the possibility of getting more unauthorized vehicles cutting through our <br />development, especially since they plan on using the side road off Lexington Avenue, as the daycare <br />
