RCA Attachment D <br />green space has been eaten up by development. The deer are <br />more scare, and the number and types of birds we see in our <br />yard has changed. This correlates directly to the development of <br />the forested land on the east side of Victoria south of Brenner <br />Avenue. This is to say nothing of the acres eaten up by <br />Cherrywood/Applewood/The Pointe and Lexington Landing. <br />One of the lovely things about moving to Roseville was Its <br />abundance of undeveloped land. I have been coming here since <br />my childhood, and was delighted to see some of what I <br />remembered still intact. <br />Nostalgia aside, we all know that wooded and wetland areas <br />earn no money, but provide far more for our souls and our earth <br />than money can buy. Additionally, the benefits of intact and <br />functioning wetlands cannot be replaced or overstated. <br />I urge the powers that be to reconsider an investment in <br />something that benefits ALL and hurts none, vs. a development <br />that will benefit few and damage all. I am sure an argument is <br />that the city can't afford the land. Let's figure out how to work <br />around that. There HAS to be a way. Nature is not expendable. <br />Sincerely, <br />Amy Perkins <br />Unless restricted by law, all correspondence to and from Roseville City <br />government offices, including information submitted through electronic forms such <br />as this one, may be public data subject to the Minnesota Data Practices Act <br />and/or may be disclosed to third parties. <br />Email not displaying correctly?
