· October 28, 1993 Mr. Dennis Welsch Dire c tor 0 f Community Development City of Rosevi1le 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville~ MN 55113 Re: Grandview Townhome Proposal Dear Mr. Welsch, I have enclosed our preliminary plat-application for a 62 unit townhome neighborhood which we are calling the Grandview Townhomes. The Grandview Townhome proposal which is before you is the res u I t 0 f s eve r a I m 0 nth s 0 f P I ann i n g by 0 u r de vel 0 p men t team. V'é have tried to consider many factors, including neighborhood .impact~ existing utilities, soils, zoning, traffic, demographics, and home design. Several of the is sue s r a i sed a t 0 u r pre v i 0 u s me e tin g s wit h the 'C i ty Staff, Planning Commission and neighbors have resulted in significant revisions to our initial concept plan. The primary issues raised in the ooncept phase involved traffic, density, building design.and open space. Traffic - \fIé decided that rather than concentrate the t.r-itfft~ flow in one direction, it would be preferable to design the driveways to disperse the traffic in 3 directions. Density - \fIé reduced the density on the entire site by 2 unHs with a more significant reduction on the north half of the neighborhood. The north half previously had 34 units as opposed to 22 on the submitted plan. B u i I din 9 Des i 9 n - Two m a j 0 r c h a n g e s we r e. mad e i nth e bUlldlna deslªn. One, the roof line desian was modified to give-it a less massive·feel. Second, the units on the north half near Grandview Avenue were changed from 12 and 8 unit buildings to 4 and 6 unit buildings. to GœD VlliJE HOMES ~~-v~~p Good \ílue Homes Incorporated 9445 East River Rd.
