R ri APP Al�� RS Your two alternate proposals for an office building to be located between Hamline Avenue and Albert Street, near Sandhurst Drive, in Roseville, Minneso�ta, have been reviewed by me personally. One proposal is for a 1-1/2 story building, 60 feet by 564 feet on the foundation, while the second proposal is for a 6-story building, 60 feet by 150 feet plus 30 feet by 50 feet on the foundation. The lot size is understood to be approximately 198 feet by 624 feet. The purpose of my review of these two proposals was to deterrrine the estimated ------------ --- - -- --�---- -- -------_ _ _ ------- adverse effect, if any, that the 6-story proposed bui' .�ng would have on the adjacent residential�properties, as compared to the effect of the 1-1 2 sto rY proposed building, assumin �bY -- —,-�__--._______.__ _____________g __oth commercial_developments wuuld be somewhat ---les:s desirable than additional residentia? properties__of similar ualit to those ---------------- already in existence. q---- -Y_--_ It is my conclusion that the view, iight, and air, which are the amenities r�lated — - ------------------------------- to the rEsidential properties in question, would not be effected to an ---- - -�- -" " y greater and _ .. --- -- _ easura E degree by the proposed b story buiiding than b the �-- -- --y- y_. pro Po s e d 1-1 /2 __ ----- story building, because of the reduced size of the former building �n the founda- tion .
