Two houses, one behind the other on one lot? <br /> <br />I watched the Roseville Planning Commission Meeting August 11, 1999. I was surprised to see a change <br />in the sub-division ordinance being considered allowing "flag lots", allowing construction of two houses <br />to be built on one lot. I am happy to say the commissioners present were giving serious consideration to <br />the ramifications of such a drastic change. <br /> <br />We have lived in Roseville for over thirty years and have always thought that existing property owners <br />should be considered when changes are being proposed on lot ordinances adjacent to them that would <br />devalue their property. We would not be affected directly by this, but I would hate to see the City start <br />squeezing one home behind the other on one lot just to allow more houses in Roseville. <br /> <br />No Roseville resident attended the Planning Commission meeting.. To my knowledge there was no <br />publicity or notice to residents that such an action was to be considered at this meeting. <br /> <br />I feel this proposed "flag lots" ordinance should not be allowed on lots with 150 feet of frontage or <br />less. The betterment of Roseville is the goal of this commission, I hope. In this light, I feel the present <br />ordinance should not be changed to allow "flag lots" . <br /> <br />If submitting an acceptable change to the sub-division ordinance is the Planning Commission's <br />responsibility, I suggest the following items be considered with others you deem pertinent. <br /> <br />. Buildable Area <br />a. size, number of sides, dimension of each four sides <br />b. location of each lot has reasonable area for location of the house, attached garage, <br />and associated decks, or patios, and that there is sufficient room for the location of the house <br />to be positioned to minimize the physical impacts of the lot and to be <br />consistent with the surrounding neighberhood <br />. Lots without minimum frontage. <br />Thank you for giving this matter serious consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />.......'-----=-> '~ - --~. <br />I ,--../"" "., . . . <br />'''-.JZ.:/-L.L-t.-J '( ;{~t t!!ACf.(Vcd~-?) <br />Phyllis Christofferson <br />2020 N Prior Avenue <br />Roseville, MN 55113-5440 <br />
