Honorable Vern Johnson Mayor, City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 ~ May 4, 1994 Dear Mr. Johnson, We are writing in opposition to the proposed rezoning of Mr. AI Kehr's property at 674, 656 and 646 West County Road C from single family residential to planned unit development. As you are aware, the Roseville Planning Commission at its meeting on April 13 voted not to change the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan designation for this property and the surrounding properties from low density residential to medium density residential. The Planning Commission made its decision after hearing unanimous opposition to the proposed land use change from the property owners in the affected area. Members of the Planning Commission based their decision partly on concerns that this land use change would make "islands" out of single family dwellings adjacent to the proposed development and that the values of these properties would be adversely affected. We are asking that the City Council adopt the recommendation of the Roseville Planning Commission to retain the low density residential land use designation and zoning for these properties. We are concerned that the proposed development will adversely affect the character of what is now a quiet, single-family residential neighborhood. We are concerned about increases in traffic through the area, particularly if Avon Street is opened to Dale Street as part of the ongoing redevelopment of the area. We have recently completed a substantial remodeling of our home. Our decision to invest in our present home rather than to buy elsewhere was based in large part on our appreciation for the quiet character of the neighborhood. We are concerned about the effect of the proposed development on the value of single family homes in the area. As property owners in the neighborhood affected by this zoning change, we request to be notified in advance of any further City Council discussion or action on this matter. q¡G~ Æ.-Ca.A\.0 ..¡7 ~ Jack and Diane Paulson 2561 Fisk Street 'lfs - b~)
