Silver Dawn Gallery Har Mar MaIl ~{.;S)nl~q ~~ May 1, 1999 Thomas Paschke 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113-1899 Dear Thomas Paschke, I would like you to seriously reconsider supporting the development of Har Mar Mall by allowing Cub foods to locate and build on this property. As a group of merchants and individually, we recognize the need for a nice grocery store in Roseville. My famify and I shop in Roseville. As business owners and consumers we would appreciate a grocery store that is easily accessed and up to date. The opinions of my customers, employees and their families are that they sometimes purposely avoid both the Larpenter and Snelling Rainbow locations, because it is difficult to get in and out, and the stores are often very busy and crowded. Some travel to a more suburban store because of the trouble. We have discussed with Bradley Real Estate, the viability and usage of the space at the 'quiet end' of our mall. Bradley Real Estate has always shown a great interest in keeping our mall active with leasing which helps promote continuous traffic. This is the kind of management that keeps residential interest in tact by keeping business right in the community. Har Mar has always had the community in mind as it remains a meeting place for events and activities, for fun and business. Without the addition of Cub Foods, we will most likely see a slow but steady deterioration of the 'south end'. This would cause struggling businesses to close which will affect the whole center. The concerns of the City officials do not seem to be quite on track or realistic. For instance; access, traffic and parking. Access or traffic through residential streets has never been a consideration and it seems to become a major worry of some residents. We are understanding of our residents and their rights to ask questions, know how 2100 North Snelling Roseville MN 55113 (651)639-9144 "7\A~
