Date: From: 11/3/97 City of Roseville, James Addition Neighborhood Task Force Dear James Addition Neighbors, This letter regards the future of your neighborhood (between Fairview and Snelling and between Co, Rd. C and south of Oakcrest) , In March the City mailed you (176 residences and 3 businesses) a letter requesting volunteers to serve on a neighborhood Task Force. Thirteen people, 10 homeowners and 3 businesses, volunteered and started meeting June 25th to learn about and discuss our neighborhoods concerns, problems and options, These Task Force members agreed that our neighborhood needed this update mailing. It is just getting done later than we wanted, The City Council charge to the Task Force essentially reflected the same concerns expressed by the neighborhood survey comments and the 3/5/97 neighborhood meeting which we received copies of Dennis Welsch, the Community Development Director, has met with and helped us greatly by providing information, resources and analysis as well as inviting others with specific knowledge to our montWy meetings, The few comments to date ftom the City Planning Commission, Council and Mayor have been supportive. I appreciate our City Council acknowledging this neighborhoods increasing concerns and pressures by offering this opportunity to provide input about our neighborhoods future, It shows faith, or at least hope, that this Task Force will make reasonable prudent recommendations that the majority of the neighborhood understands and supports, I have prepared for you the attached "Summary of Task Force charges and deliberations to date", The Task Force has meet montWy for a total of5 meetings to date, You can contact a Task Force member (see attached) if you wish to discuss or review anything, I also invite you to my home for discussions and comments on Tuesdays November 11th, 18th and 25th between 7-9 p,m, I'll leave the light on as they say, The future steps are as follows, Discussion with the City Planning Commission at their 11/12 workshop, a quick task force meeting on 11/13, discussion with City Council at their 11/17 workshop and a regular task force meeting on 11/19. The Task Force is trying to provide the recommendations to the Planning Commission in November and the City Council in December to allow action specifically on the proposed National Tire Warehouse business before the moratorium ends on 1/1/98. Hopefully the neighborhood and the City can reach consensus on acceptable solutions to this and the other issues. Sincerely, crfi,~ Neighborhood Task Force, chair 2585 N.
