<br />September 29. 2000 <br /> <br />VIA FAX ONLY <br /> <br />City Manager <br />Fax No.: 651/490-2931 <br /> <br />RE: Planning File No. 3251 - Kraus-Anderson Reality <br />For a conditional use permit to conduct bingo at Hamline Center <br /> <br />Dear Sir: <br /> <br />My wife and I are writing this letter to make know our disapproval of any permit being issued to <br />the subject bingo hall allowing it to operate in the HamJine Center mall. <br /> <br />As area residents, we feel that bringing the bingo hall into our clean, quiet neighborhood would <br />be a detriment for all the people living in the area. It may be felt by some that the revenue <br />generated by the bingo hall would be beneficial to the community. but ultimately the bad will <br />out-weigh the good, especially for those of us who live close to the mall. Not only will we, as <br />residents. have to deal with a significant increase in traffic and noise. but also the possible <br />criminal element that could be brought in. <br /> <br />My wife and I pay a significant amount of money to live in this neighborhood because it is a <br />quiet neighborhood, yet we are still in close proximity to many businesses. We would like our <br />neighborhood to remain as it is, but do not see how it could if this bingo hall is allowed to do <br />business in Hamline Center. . <br /> <br />My wife and I both work near Roseville, and are looking to buy a home in this area because of <br />neighborhood and its convenient access to all the shops, stores and restaurants. But any <br />problems that may arise from having a bingo hall in the area would definitely sway our thoughts <br />of staying in Roseville, much less buying a home here. <br /> <br />We support trying to bring businesses into Hamline Center because the mall is already there and <br />could be a nice place to go for shopping, but as we see it, a bingo hall is a business that would <br />only benefit a select few, and will bring nothing positive to the mall or the majority of the people <br />Ii ving in this area. <br /> <br />PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TIDS LETTER TO THE CITY COUNSEL MEMBERS ON OR <br />BEFORE THE OCTOBER 2, 2000 6:30 P.M. COUNSEL MEETING. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Ed and Gwen Chase <br />1360 Terrace Drive, Apt. 303 <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />651/636-2867 <br /> <br />10 39'i1d <br /> <br />Well.:!
