Attachment D <br />From:Amy and Mike O"Brien <br />To:RV EDA <br />Subject:question/concerns regarding Edison Multifamily Community proposal <br />Date:Tuesday, May 30, 2017 4:20:47 PM <br />Hello - <br />I am writing regarding the proposal for the Edison Multifamily Community on the corner of County Rd D and Old <br />Highway 8:http://www.cityofroseville.com/3137/Edison-Multifamily-Community. I live at 2940 Old Highway 8, <br />just south of the proposed site. <br />A neighbor just alerted me to this proposal today. We are both concerned because we both recently moved to Old <br />Highway 8 because we saw it as a kind of oasis in the city… large yards with the feeling of living outside the city, <br />yet centrally located and close to everything. We have really enjoyed living here these past four years. Everyone <br />who comes to our house comments on what a great place it is to live… how they didn’t realize it was so quiet and <br />secluded. <br />Lately, we have noticed that Sandcastle Park, down the street, seems less safe for our kids. It seems like every night <br />there is new graffiti in the park, only to be painted over by the city, and then re-grafittied again. We don’t feel as <br />safe sending our kids to the park. <br />Hearing that there could possibly be 209 new families moving onto the street makes us more worried for crime in <br />the park and the vicinity, as well as increased noise and traffic. <br />I have heard from two neighbors already who have decided to sell their homes. This does not bode well for the <br />value of our homes. We have invested much money into our home and would not like to see the value go down <br />because of decreased desirability and less of that “secluded, country-feel” that Old Highway 8 is known for. We <br />had thought about putting a deck onto the back of our house, but not we are unsure whether we want to invest more <br />money into our home. <br />Please let me know where you are at in the approval process for this project, and if there is a better way for us to <br />provide feedback. We are very interested in protecting this pocket of Roseville so that it can maintain that quiet, <br />secluded feel that we desired and now value in our home. <br />Sincerely, <br />Amy & Mike O’Brien <br />2940 Old Highway 8 <br /> <br />
