I am a <br />resident of Roseville and a regular user of Central Park. I live less than <br />one mile from the park. <br /> <br />From what I understand of the proposal, the senior housing would be nestled <br />right up to Central Park, but inobtrusively so. The roof line would not be <br />visible from across Bennett Lake, for example. Also, the land exchanges <br />would give Prince of Peace Lutheran Church more parking. The increased <br />parking would also not be visible from the rest of the park. <br /> <br />It is a fact that the demographic profile of our community is changing. <br />More and more people are living longer lives, and as the "baby boom" <br />generation moves into its golden years, the need for senior housing will <br />increase. In my opinion, this project would be a great benefit to both <br />seniors and the community. Seniors would be able to continue to live (and <br />pay taxes) in Roseville. The presence of more seniors in the Roseville <br />community would be a stablizing influence. <br /> <br />Furthermore, the opportunity to live close by Central Park would be an <br />attractive option for seniors. A solidly built and well managed residence <br />just a stone's throw from the park would have no trouble attracting quality <br />tenants. And what could be a happier way for a retired person to begin the <br />day than with a walk around Bennett Lake? <br /> <br />In conclusion, I believe it is in the community's best interest to support <br />this project. <br /> <br />Thank you for listening, <br />Chris Lyman <br />2836 Merrill Street <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />Phone: (651) 604-9342 <br />Email: chris.lyman@pclink.com <br /> <br />1 <br />
