JulY 8, 19H9 HR MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMB~RS AND NEIGHBORq, I WWE LIVED IN ROSI:.V1LLE WITHlN 1/2 MIL.E or THE PRC:'~lSED PRO.JEeT FOR ::!3 OF MY ::!9 YEARS. I HAVE SEE~ MANY DIFFERENT TiPL~ uF DEVELOPMENTS COME INTO THIS AREA. IN EACH CASE 1 RECALL. THF CITIZENS OF THIS AREA EXPRESSING CONr~RhS OVER THE PRESERVATION OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS CASE IS NO OIFtERENT. I FtEL THE BEST WAY TO PRES~RVr. THE TYP~ OF NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAKES ROSEV1LLE SUGli ^ GREAT PLACE TO LIVE IN IS TO CONTINUE fO BJIL.O SINGLE FAMILY OWNEk OCCUPIED DWELLING OR THEIR ZONING EQUIVALENT. THE PLAN THAT Ie BErORE YOU NOW DOES NOT PRESERVE OUR NrIGHBORHOOD. I HrUt ~REQUENTLY HEARD lH~ TERM "OVERALL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN" USED BY THE PLANNING C~MMIS5IQN AND lHOUE OF YOU ON THE COUNCIL. IN MY OPINION THE COUNCIL SHOULD TAKt A GOOD LOOK AT THIS PLAN. NOT ONLY THE AREA TN QUESTION B'H FOR ALL Of< RUSEVIL_LC, 1{~:ErIUG IN MIND m....T TliE PLANS TO DeVELOP SHOULD REFLECT THE WISHES OF THE PLOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES. THE PLANNING COMM~SSION WAS SURPRIseD AT n1~ CAP BETWEEN TH~ ~!TY'S IDEAS or A PLAN ANQ lHE RES10EN1S OCSIRt FOR OEVELOPHfNT. SOME SPECIFIC EXAMPLCS or 1!1E DIFFEReNCE 9ETWEEN WHAT IS ~~CPOSED AND WHAT THE COMMUNITY oeSIRES AHE: 1, DO NOT OEV~LOP TN RGDEVILLE WITH TAX INCREMENT FJNANCING. ~. 00 NOT CONTtNUL LOUNT) RQAD C-~ THROUGH OR CONNECT TO DEveLOPMENT. 3. APPRUVE REZONING BACK TO R- 1 10 DEVELOP AS OWNER OCCUPIED HOMES AS THE DEVELOPER HAS STATtD. APARTMENTS IN ROSEVILLE ARt KNOWN TO UETERIORI'lTt:: OvER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE DEVELopeR PLANS TO BUILD "UP-SCALE" BU! L DINGS. BUT AS lJL ALL KNOW IN 20 YEARS THESE APARTMENTS WOULD BE NO BETTER THAN TH~N CUNRCNT DAY CQUNTER?ARTS. I BELIEVE Th~T [)EIERIORATION or NLlGfUlORHOOllS OCCURS ONLY WHEN THEY "hE INJECTED WITH NON-OWNER OCCUPIED DWI::LLINGS. AN rNOIVIDU~L WliO OWNS THEIR HOME MAINTAINS A GETTER QUI'lLITY or CARE I'lND tNHANCES THE AREA.
