<br />Mendota Homes, Inc. <br />P.O. Box 416 <br />Forest Lake, MN 55025 <br />(651) 688-6342 <br />(651) 688-3291 fax <br /> <br />April 28, 1999 <br /> <br />City ofRoseville <br />Thomas Paschke, City Planner <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Paschke, <br /> <br />This letter accompanies an application for a Planned Unit Development for a parcel of <br />land located between Old Highway 8 and Highway 88, south of County Road C2, in <br />Roseville. <br /> <br />This parcel is approximately 460 feet long on the south side, 420 feet long on the north, <br />and 125 feet wide. It is covered with asphalt surface, having been used as a parking area <br />previously. The property is bordered by single family homes to the north and the <br />Executive Manor condominiums to the south. Old Highway 8 provides the western <br />border and vacant land, owned by Mendota Homes, Inc., borders to the east. The present <br />zoning of the property is B-1, although the Roseville Comprehensive Plan designates the <br />parcel as high density residential. <br /> <br />This parcel provides an interesting dilemma in that a small portion, on the west end, <br />actually lies in the Village of St. Anthony in Hennepin County. The larger portion, to the <br />east, lies in Roseville in Ramsey County. The area in St. Anthony was originally zoned <br />for light industrial use. However, in anticipation of development, Mendota Homes, Inc. <br />obtained a zoning change to R-4 in December of 1997. We understand that we'll be <br />working with the City ofRoseville and the Village of St. Anthony simultaneously to <br />develop this parcel. <br /> <br />Our development proposal involves construction of twelve, rambler-style townhomes <br />with full basements, to be constructed in three clusters of four units. All townhomes will <br />feature one or two bedrooms on the main level with the opportunity for more finished <br />space in the lower level. The lower levels have daylight-style windows, creating an <br />abundance of light and pleasant living spaces. In addition, all townhomes will feature <br />low maintenance vinyl exteriors, bay windows, skylights, and double, attached garages. <br />Parking for guests will be available in the driveways and along the main drive into the <br />property as permitted by the City of Roseville. <br /> <br />Prices will range from $140,000 to $170,000. Mendota Homes, Inc. is in the process of <br />beginning construction on a 30-unit condominium building, for those 55 years and over, <br /> <br />:-6'~ C\ <br />v\~ <br />
