RCA Attachment D <br />about 28000sft for water absorption (IÓve never tried to put six houses/three twinhomes plus one existing in a <br />space platted for two, so IÓm not familiar with the impervious surface requirements here in Roseville. I just <br />know what works & doesn't work from 40yrs experience. Currently, we ALREADY have drainage issues here. <br />All the back lots are lower than CoRd C2 & Old Hwy 8 and the natural storm water run-off is basically south to <br />north. The back lots of 2991, 2951, 2945, & 2995 Troseth & that is with normal rain and snow melt (depending <br />on soil saturation). The back lots at 2991 & 2995 often support a normal, heavy rain, or snow melt (depending <br />on soil saturation) small pond which the local ducks quite enjoy. With Mr.Brama's proposal the runoff will be <br />MUCH more into these two back lots. There is a swale that runs from Old Hwy 8 along the line between 2994 <br />Old Hwy 8 across the back lot lines of 3015, 3009, 3003 Troseth and turning and running along the lot line <br />between 3003 and 2999 Troseth and exiting under Troseth between 3004 & 3002 Troseth then flowing north to <br />a pond at the rear of 3040 Troseth. Drainage minimally works now because thereÓs enough NON-impervious <br />surface to handle some fairly hard "normal" rains (again depending on soil saturation) without flooding. With an <br />added loss of pervious surface and the way the snow would be plowed (a whole winter of plowed snow to the <br />low side) in his proposed plat ALL of the melt will flow at the bottom of that swale I just described and into <br />2991 & 2995 Troseth back lots. That is with normal (?) rains and snow. But now there are Ðclimate change <br />issuesÑ. IÓve seen big snow pack with heavy spring rains and heavy summer rains flow like a river down the <br />swale, fill the ditch to Troseth with flooding to 3003 Troseth & flooding to 3004 Troseth. Keep in mind, all the <br />drainage along Highway 88 converges into the pond at 3040 Troseth & there have been many times with the <br />heavy rains where 2996 & 2998 Troseth came VERY close to flooding in their back lots and their basements. <br />As that swale becomes overwhelmed it flows over Troseth to the storm drains which sometimes wonÓt keep up <br />and IÓve seen 3000, 2998, & 2996 Troseth flood from the front. Plan for the worst and hope for the best, right ? <br />Not in the case of Mr.Brama's plat. <br />According to Mr.BramaÓs plat, how will you get emergency vehicles in a cramped area. ESPECIALLY, with <br />how many cars will be parked in the way on the "private" access ? Every home is likely to have at least 2 cars or <br />(most assuredly more). There is no place to turn around. What happens when winter hits with the BIG snows. <br />Old Hwy 8 will be plowed, if overflow cars from these buildings aren't parked there, but how about the <br />ÐprivateÑ access ? Fire, heart attacks, etc. always happen when conditions are perfect, right ? Our area seems to <br />be becoming a little more crime ridden (I lost $5K in tools, others have lost cat-converters & even attempted <br />break ins) than in the past. Are RosevilleÓs Finest (The Police) going to pull into and back out of this, "private <br />access" setup on routine patrols ? We see Roseville's Finest infrequently enough now. <br />The elevation of the proposed twinhome behind the 2994 Old Hwy 8 house will be about 2-3 ft lower than Old <br />highway 8 and the one to the south of that will be about 2 ft below Old Hwy 8. Effluent hasnÓt started flowing <br />UPHILL, even with climate change. WhereÓs the lift station going ? How about fire hydrants ? Say one of the <br />two lower twinhomes caught fire & their location so near to adjacent properties & tree line with no real access <br />other than the private drive, what else will be set aflame ? Maybe Mr.Brama can use his garden hose until <br />Roseville Fire finds a way in with all the vehicles that will most likely be in the way. <br />Kind of the unspoken code of the GOOD developer is to make your neighborhood better. Wouldn't a good <br />"developer" talk it over in person with the neighbors rather than the neighbors finding out about it at a proposal <br />meeting ? If Mr.Brama is a ÐdeveloperÑ heÓs a sorry excuse for one because he is not. He's a rental landlord <br />trying to turn this neighborhood into yet another crowded rental area to the benefit of ONLY Mr.Brama. I've <br />seen this countless times in my line of work. Mr.Brama is looking for a cheap way to gain more rental income <br />at the expense of those who live here for the little extra room. <br />Please consider the folly of this proposal and vote to DENY it. If the three existing houses Mr.Brama owns now <br />were offered for sale they would sell in twenty minutes and Mr.Brama could move on with close to a million <br />dollars at current high demand prices and go ÐdevelopingÑ a new rental neighborhood that was designed for <br />medium to high density rental property. Mr.Brama isnÓt concerned about the neighborhood or bettering it. <br />Mr.Brama cares ONLY about Mr.Brama and trying to turn this area into one of his marginal rental plats. <br />3 <br />Page 34 of 35 <br /> <br />
