Their children have <br />grown up and left home and they are looking for a smaller place to live in. <br />They can also appreciate the fact that all of the building and yard <br />maintenance will be done by the townhome association. <br /> <br />We feel that changing the zoning from R-1 is not out of character here <br />because directly to the west is the American Legion which is zoned business <br />B-1, just one lot to the east is a multi-family unit zoned R-2, and just three <br />lots to the east at the corner of County Road C and Dale Street is a three <br />story condominium building zoned R-3A (Ramsey Square Condominiums - <br />240 units) and this is bordered to the north and east by another townhome <br />development (Westwood Village - 163 units). <br /> <br />Approximately one-half of the proposed site is overgrown with various small <br />trees, weeds, and shrubs and does not give a very attractive appearance. <br />We feel that this development would enhance the appearance of this part of <br />the neighborhood. <br /> <br />It is also our understanding that there is a need for housing for our target <br />market in the City of Roseville. These people would not be objectionable but <br />would be good neighbors. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~J).",-...~~4:~ ~..~r~""""r:'", <br /> <br />N <br /> <br />c. <br /> <br />1360 Energy Park Drive <br />Suite 300 <br />SI.
