We currently offer three age levels of child <br />care and open our facilities for many community functions. <br /> <br />An opportunity became available for us when our neighbors moved <br />to senior housing in Shoreview and wished to sell their property. We <br />viewed this as an opportunity to serve more of the community by <br />developing a quality senior housing facility. We have seen favorable <br />church growth but have peen hampered by lack of parking at crucial <br />times and no available overflow neighborhood parking. This is our only <br />opportunity for the senior housing development, future expansion and <br />additional parking. <br /> <br />We have worked very hard during the past many months to develop <br />plans that are both workable for the community and our needs. We have <br />met with the Planning Commission, the Park Board, and conducted focus <br />groups for the neighborhood. . Based upon the input we have made a <br />number of changes to improve the project and to answer objections. <br /> <br />We are now presenting our proposal. We feel that it serves a <br />need both within the greater Roseville community and for our church <br />community at Prince of Peace. <br /> <br />We request your acceptance of this proposal and invite anyone <br />with questions to visit the site at Prince of Peace. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />r ~q-L <br /> <br />Jean Knaak <br /> <br />Distribution: Roseville Planning Commission <br />Roseville City Council <br /> <br />A Congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America <br />
