<br />Is the proposed high population density bad:
<br />I bel!eve it is. Will such a concentration of 3pclrtment dwellers increase or dpn-ease
<br />the NET 'ev~r.ue to RoscvillPo I believe 1t will CO~: the c~unity m~ney over a long
<br />period Ot time. 1 know that Roseville made a study 01 the number of chIldren re~iding
<br />in aphrtments and determined that the apartlllent tax p.lid for their schooling:. Rl T
<br />all of our apartments are relatively new - as the unlts ~rown older and competItion
<br />from nt>~er and more luxurious units force tht. rf'nts Ilown- r.lorl:' large f.3111iUt>s will
<br />uove into them--especially 1nto the 3 & 4 b~!droo:n units planned for the II1gh rist by
<br />Vi"'.... Con- ilnd that the end result will bl,) that th(l education cost for these children
<br />wIll exceed the real estate tax. (As an example 1 know that ~orth St. Paul is eyeing
<br />the large Viking Village lIpartsnents wlth apprf!hC'nsior.-their studies ha'Ie indic.1ted that
<br />as this complex ages tht' per child occupancy ha... ill<.rcasl'd greatly _ to J. per unH-
<br />and since that is their break even point whl'rl: t he taxes::" thf' school cost= if the
<br />per unit ('hUd ocC'upancy continues ItS pre:;'lnt IIp''ard tr~/llj .. it will be a ltabiUj.y)..
<br />
<br />Doe'3 not a large area of apartment buildings dl'precJitte the ("l~Jnity \':lOre titan a
<br />large area of hOllIeS? Look at St Paul - arco'!- fillf'd with 30 j<.>ar old apartments are
