<br /> <br />April 4, 1996 <br /> <br />EVEREST DEVEL()PMENT LTD <br /> <br />.\\11"HI~(iI 'I \11,1,1,8,'\'1'111' <br /> <br />Mike Falk, City Planner <br />CITY OF ROSEVILLE <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />Re: Kath Project <br />SEC Lexington/Roselawn <br /> <br />Dear Mike: <br /> <br />On behalf of Bruce Kath and Kath Companies, this will confirm the applicant's <br />agreement to continue the Planning Commission hearing concerning the noted <br />project until its May meeting. This additional time will allow the applicant to <br />prepare and provide further details concerning the revised site plan which we <br />presented to you earlier this week, and will allow the City staff and consultants to <br />review and comment on the revised plan with respect to traffic, noise, or other <br />planning concerns. Enclosed are 8 1/2" x 11" and 11" x 17" reduced copies of the <br />revised site plan. <br /> <br />As we discussed on Tuesday, the revised site plan provides a 75-foot wide green <br />space/buffer along the entire east lot line of the project site, adjacent to the single- <br />family residential neighbors. This substantial green space/buffer is included to <br />address the concern expressed in the initial staff report for this project, relative to <br />the O.4-acre parcel in the northeast area of the project site, currently designated <br />residential in the Comprehensive Plan, and apparently intended to provide a <br />transition between business and residential uses. We believe the proposed 75' x <br />231' green space area will provide a much more effective and appropriate buffer <br />to the residential neighbors than the 99' x 174' parcel designated residential in the <br />Comprehensive Plan and zoned for B-1 commercial development. <br /> <br />The revised site plan also reorients the car wash portion of the building so that <br />the exit doors face to the northwest towards the street intersection, reducing the <br />potential of noise impact on the adjoining residential neighbors. <br /> <br />In advance of the May 8 Planning Commission meeting, we will be preparing and <br />submitting to you landscape plans and building elevations to further detail the <br />revised project plans. In the meanwhile if you have any questions concerning the <br />revised site plan, please feel free to call Rick Baker or Tim Nelson at Everest <br />(636-5500) or Bruce Kath at Kath Companies (484-3325). <br /> <br />2685 Long I ake Road <br />P.O.
