The invitation was <br />mailed or posted to Roseville City Hall, Ramsey County Public Library, Fairview <br />Community and Senior Center, various churches and coffee shops in the neighborhood. <br />In addition an invitation ad was placed in the Roseville Review 12/22/15 edition. <br />Good Samaritan Society was represented from their development team: Mary Stewart <br />and Aaron Bakker, and Lauren Pahnke locally from Good Samaritan Heritage Place of <br />Roseville. In addition, Good Samaritan’s local financing consultant Stephanie <br />Hawkinson and architect Enrico Williams from Kaas Wilson attended the open house. <br />There were 18 that attended from the neighborhood. General comments were <br />supportive of the project. There were questions on design, accessibility, income levels, <br />timing of project, and traffic.The most concerns that were expressed were related to <br />the impact on traffic in the following areas: <br /> Increased traffic on County Road B <br /> Street parking impact <br /> Pedestrian crossing on County Road B and bus stop <br /> Increased traffic on the intersection of Albert and Commerce <br />A traffic study was suggested and we reviewed an intersection with a stoplight just west <br />of the property that was an option for bus riders to cross County Road B. There were a <br />couple of residents that live on County Road B that were opposed to the project due to <br />anticipated increase of traffic. They have difficulty getting on to County Road B from <br />their homes especially during the rush hour time period. They would prefer the site to <br />be a park. One person did not like the design, thought the rents were not affordable, <br />and it was too close to the street. <br />There were 3 phone inquiries that were generated from the mailing. One resident <br />attended the open house. General information was provided and no objections or <br />concerns were expressed by those that called. <br />Attachments to this summary: <br />Invitation that was mailed to the residents <br />List of attendees <br />Comments from those that attended <br />Page 1 <br /> <br />
