<br />May 27, 2002 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Thomas Paschke and Roseville Development Review Committee, <br /> <br />I am Jill Ann Peck. I have lived in Roseville over fifty years, over twenty years at 2457 Churchill Street to <br />the south side of2465 Churchill Street, the property you are meeting about today. I ask that you consider <br />my concerns. <br /> <br />Years ago the garages were built to the back of the houses for a reason. I am concerned about moving the <br />garage between the houses and close to the property line. <br /> <br />What will happen to water when it comes to the wall of the garage? The yards slant downhill from <br />County Road B2 to Brooks. Remember this is not just a double garage in width but also a double garage <br />in length. <br /> <br />Over the years, both homeowners have piled snow on the grass area between the driveways. Now I am <br />concerned about where I will put snow. <br /> <br />The plan for a door on this side of the garage will open on to my property. I feel it would be impossible <br />for someone to use the side of the garage without using my property. <br /> <br />Growing and cutting grass will be more difficult. <br /> <br />My living room windows will look at the garage or in to the garage windows. My home will have two <br />sides looking at back yards. One reason I live in Roseville is to have some space and some view around <br />my home. Next to the present garage there has been a pile of shingles, removed from the old roof, for <br />over a year. <br /> <br />Security of our home, for my daughter and myself, is a great concern because of the change of the garage <br />next store. My garage door and side door entrance to the house will be hidden. Then with the extra <br />parking space in front of their house and the addition they plan to build, my entry will be boxed in. Last <br />summer their garage was broken in to and items were stolen. <br /> <br />In the future, if someone else in the neighborhood, wish to make an addition, will we be told no because <br />too much drain area is covered? <br /> <br />I know I would not buy property under these conditions, and I have talked to other homeowners who say <br />they would not purchase my home under these conditions. So I lose some of my selling market. <br /> <br />A simple solution: there is room to build their garage from the house back instead of moving forward. <br /> <br />Thank you for taking time to consider my concerns. Another reason I chose to buy my home in Roseville <br />was I felt RosevilIe would protect all homeowners. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />\f1~/ <br /> <br />Jill Ann Peck <br />2457 Churchill Street <br />Roseville, Minnesota 55113 <br />651-482-8381 <br /> <br /> <br />
