From:CenturyLink Customer To:Thomas Paschke; Bryan Lloyd; Lonnie Brokke; Matthew Johnson; Dan Roe; Jason Etten; Wayne Groff; rwillmus@msn.com; Janice Gundlach; Marc Culver; Lisa Laliberte Cc: Subject:Proposed Re-Zoning of the Property at 2395 County Road B Date:Sunday, April 12, 2020 11:51:36 AM Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. I am asking that the Open House for the Re-zoning of 2395 County Road B be postponed until an actual in-person meeting can be held. It is too important of a decision to make from just e-mail or virtual meetings. I was also disappointed that the notice of this was only given to people who live within 500 feet of the property. We live about block and a half away from 2395 County Road B and this development would also impact us. We live on the corner of County Road B and Fulham Street. The traffic leaving our neighborhood down the only outlet of County Road B is already a problem. People speed from the apartments by Hwy 280 all the way to Cleveland Avenue, even though the speed limit is 30 cars speed by at 40-50 mph. We would like four-way stop signs on our corner to slow the traffic down. We are a neighborhood of walkers, dog walkers, and bicyclists. With the addition of about 38 more cars from this development and maybe another 20-30 cars from the Eustis Street townhomes proposed that would significantly increase the traffic on County Road B which is now in bad shape with potholes. I can't imagine how upset the people on St. Croix Street would feel having a street with traffic not only in front of their home, but also a street behind their home. I ask that you consider not rezoning 2395 County Road B for the following reasons and having an open meeting residents can attend: 1.We are a single family housing neighborhood. 2.We would lose the wildlife we have left in our neighborhood after Midland Crest homes took away a significant amount of wood land. 3.County Road B is the only exit from our neighborhood and increased traffic would be a safety issue. 4.The value of the homes on St. Croix would probably go down. Who wants to buy a house with a street both in front of and in back of it. 5.There is no way the developer could replace the amount of trees on that property with new trees planted in a development. 6.We have no parks or walking paths in our neighborhood, except along busy County Road B and for the city to purchase it and make a wildlife area with a walking path would be fantastic. The pocket park on Cleveland and County Road B is not a peaceful place to go to with all the traffic on that corner. This matter is too important to pass through without input from the people whose lives will be changed by it. Thank you for your consideration. I would also like to know how we get the City to send out notices to people within at least 1000 feet and not 500 feet of a proposed project. What do we need to do to get a four-way stop sign on the corner of County Road B and Fulham Streets. Sincerely, Nancy and Jim Nelson Roseville
