~ . April 12, 1994 Mr. Michael Falk City Planner City of Roseville 2660 civic Center Drive Roseville, Minnesota 55113 Dear Mr. Falk: REi AL KEHR'S REQUEST TO CHANGE THE LAND USE FOR HIS PROPERTY ON COUNTRY ROAD C FROM LOW DENSITY TO MEDIUM DENSITY. When is Roseville going to tell this man 'NO, NO, NO, YOU CANNOT BUILD ANY TOWNHOUSES OR CONDOS IN THIS RESIDENTIAL AREA'? I am getting sick and tired of his continued plans and requests to change the area from a single family residential area to a townhouse area, which could probably end up as low cost rental units. I built my home in Roseville in 1968 because it was a very good area to live and raise children. The school district was rated very high and we have been very satisfied these many years. But I cannot believe that you would continue to allow him to brow beat the City Council and the residents of this area into allowing him to build these units. Anyone could tell you that the market is thoroughly saturated with town housß and condo units, no matter where you care to look. AND THEY DO NOT HAVE MUCH RESALE VALUE EITHER. Your own letter states that the current land use allows only four dwellings per acre for a low density and 10 dwelling units per acre for a medium. Does this mean that they would have to be one floor family units, or could he build a three story building housing more than one unit? Besides four dwellings in a one acre area is too much for a residential area anyway. By allowing this building development to be built, it will create more traffic in the area. County Road C has become a race track now with the direct connection from Rice Street, 35W and the access to Minneapolis over the County Road 52 bridge or County Road C. If you doubt this, come and park in my front yard either in the morning or evening traffic times and you will see why we do not need more additional residents in this area. .
