RCA Attachment D <br />Greetings Mr. Thomas Paschke and Roseville Planning Commission; <br />I am writing today as a owner of a residential home at the corner of W Owasso <br />Blvd and Victoria Street N. I attended the first neighborhood Electronic Meeting on <br />this subject. I also brought forth at that meeting the following information. <br />I have lived here since August of 1979 and would like to share information about <br />the Reiling property that the current Planning Commission may not be aware of. <br />I do not remember the exact year, but George Reiling was still alive. Mr. Reiling <br />decided to build on the property in question and started bringing in dump trucks of <br />soil to fill in low areas along Lake Owasso and increase the size of the lots. <br />After a day of hauling fill, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resourses arrived <br />and put a halt to the process. I believe they sighted reasons as changing the <br />natural area in regards to the high water level of Lake Owasso. <br />Mr. Reiling attended the next available City of Roseville Council Meeting and the <br />topic of the plot and fill was on the agenda. I attended that meeting as a curious <br />resident. Once the topic came up, words were exchanged and Mr. Reiling left <br />yelling something to the effect - "I will never build anything again in Roseville." <br />(please note, this is not an exact quote -- it was much more 'colorful' than that.) <br />Mr. Reiling was forced to remove the fill and return the land to the previous state. <br />If the proposed housing will not fit the area without additional fill being brought in, <br />I was wondering if the MN DNR had been contacted with regards to this proposed <br />development? <br />I hope to attend the Electronic Meeting. <br />Bruce Nelson <br />2887 W Owasso Blvd <br />Roseville, MN 55113-2123 <br />Page 5 of 65 <br /> <br />
