We realize that the land owner and dftTeloper Ihould be able to bu11d on their property. But why apart.lnt.? W. .us!e.t that each counol1 member Tlsit apartmeRts th8~ art 2S to 45 year. old and then des1de 1f thi. ls the lesaor ~hat you want to leaTe for the futare of RoseTllle to our &hl1dren and srandehl1drluI In .hecklng out the older apartments we think that you wl1l t1nd a hlt;hpr trl.. rate 14 tho". areas. (Checlt wl th other po- llee de~rt.ents.) There art many thin!. that could be built ~uch a. townhouses etc. These would give 1..ed1ate tax reyenuf,' to the city. It they ar~ 9.110wed to build as requested I where does the additional money come fro2 tor polioe-flre protection. Also. street ..1ntenance. etc. It they haTe a seven year tax exempt status ~~y should the eltizens of ROI.Tl1~e pay for these additlonal serTices with Tary little benefit to them?

Don't underectlmate how important an issue this is to us. Don't underestl.ate how intensely we feel about this hlgh den- slty deTelopment. Come election tlae. W. wl11 rea~.ber. Thls 1. not a petitl~n, but the opln1on of many RoseTl11e Tax payers.
