<br />Roseville Planning Commission <br />Roseville City Council <br />Attention: Dennis ~elsch <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville,MN 55113 <br /> <br />- ~ C\tJ <br />~ <br /> <br />December 3, 1998 <br /> <br />Dear Friends: <br /> <br />I am a resident of Rosev~lle, and a member of Prince Of Peace Church. I have <br />tried honestly and fairly to look at the proposal our church has made for <br />senior housing nearby and expansion of our parking area. As I am also a <br />senior citizen, you will probably think that I am prejudiced. That I would <br />accept housing on any terms, even if it ruined the beauty around us.This is <br />not true. I love nature and am proud to live near Central Park. I do believe <br />that the 2nd proposal you are about to receive is more feasible. The land is <br />N~ of the sanctuary and not as visible. It would serve the housing needs just <br />as well as the SE location. <br /> <br />I cannot see the complex spoiling views of .fireworks in this location anymore <br />than a growing tree. ~hen I first moved to Roseville, the trees in the <br />neighborhood were young. ~e would sit on the first floor steps and watch the <br />fireworks nearby at Central Park. Today, these same t~e~$,tQwer 100 feet over <br />the countryside, and I can rarely see any except the . tallest displays and <br />rockets from my window. If there are any parking spots left at Prince Of - <br />Peace Church I occasionally park there. <br /> <br />I doubt if there will be many (if any) objections to our expansion of park- <br />ing facilities. I hope not. ~e need parking badly! Sometimes I am running <br />late, due to last minute phone calls from out-of-town. ~hen I drive to church, <br />I am saddened that there is no place to park...absolutely none!And I am <br />forced to return home with an empty heart. <br /> <br />Many members of the church feel challenged to help with this missiDn . , and <br />are excited with the prospect of next-door housing. Seniors without transport- <br />ation can take advantagepf the wonderful park, add to the tax-base and nearby <br />bus service for Roseville Shopping!~e welcome persons of all faiths to the <br />housing and to use our facilities. Please take this into consideration and <br />approve the sorely needed housing and expansion. of our parking area. <br /> <br />Thank You for your consideration, <br /> <br />~d. ~~g~~ <br /> <br />Mrs A.
