I own an office building in Roseville as well as an interest in an apartment building also in Roseville_ I am also a proponent of commercial industrial development for the greater St. Paul area. I believe the proposed ordinance and the process that has been used to date sends a very negative message to your business community as well as to businesses that may be considering Roseville. I understand this issue has not been discussed at all with your business community. That should be the first step in any effort to deal with a real or perceived problem. I wiH accept that you are trying to deal with a sincere issue. Deliveries and snow removal are often done in the hours your retail centers and office buildings are closed to avoid major traffic issu$S. I understand now you want to curtail that, in effect m lera managing the businesses. I believe there are less Invasive ways to deal with the issue. The issue struck me as similar to the ''flag'' Issue your community receIved so much adverse publicity on. If the issue goes forth. the noise ordinance should also apply to city activities, particularly snow removal should not occur at night either in residential areas. I think if you look at the issue from that etendpoint. you, together with your buainess community and residents, could reach a better solution than what Is on the table. +- Very truly yours, w~ William J.
