<br />July 8. 1996 <br /> <br />~r. ~ichael Falk <br />City Planner <br />City of Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />~oseville, M~ 55113 <br /> <br />Dear Mr'. Falk: <br /> <br />Once again, the city is to take another look at the proposed <br />de,~lopment of the property at 1912 North Lexington by Bruce <br />-Kath. It is my hope that this time the scaled do~n version <br />~lll be approved ~ithout hesitation. <br /> <br />-I am of the opinlon that this is indeed an appropriate use of <br />this property and that it is the decision of the <br />o~ner/developer as to ~hat will be a profitable and economic <br />investment. Of course the city should have an input and <br />appro\al process on such city developments, ho~ever, it seems <br />an ,infrIngement on the o....nership of private prGperty if tr.at <br />pro~ess becomes too restrictive. <br /> <br />This pIece of property has been a service station. for at <br />least 70 years that I am aware of and this is an improvement <br />of the same bUSIness and construction. It is to the credit of <br />the o~~er that they wlsh to make a major investment and <br />upgrade on this corner and I believe that the city should <br />....ant to see that happen also. Although the surrounding <br />nel~hborhood may have some concerns in this regatd, the <br />primary responsibility of a profitable and reasonable <br />develG~m~nt rests ....ith the property owner. I belleve and hope <br />that thIS de,'elopment flts into both categories and that th~ <br />Planning Comffilssion and City Council feel like....ise. <br /> <br />s;:;:;w <br /> <br />R.
