Our goal is to redesign buildings to appeal to the "graying" pop- ulation of Roseville, and simultaneously to correct the problems that have occurred on this troubled site. In discussions with adjacent neighbors, and as a result of marketing research through ads in the paper, we have determined that the most desirable units would be single level living with the option to have additional bedrooms on the second story. Working with the city planner and staff, we have arrived at a decision that the best long term development of this general area should include completion of a public road, Rose Place. This would better facilitate the future development of the land to the north and south of the property. While it is possible to develop both of these projects with private roads, in the interest of fire protection,.city control, aesthetics and conformity, logic dictates that a public road would be a better choice. Sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer are al- ready installed in Rose Place. Union Bank, the owner of the property, has the proposal of a public roads, only if it property owners. Their thinking is that z road would be roughly the same as the cost road that was approved several years ago. go with a private road if we cannot assess equally. agreed to go along with is assessed 50/50 to both of the cost of a public of the original private Union Bank would elect to both property owners Tax Increment financing was considered for the public road in hopes of keeping the cost to a minimum, and to insure support from both Union Bank, and the owners of the trailer park on the north. There seemed to be a lack of the needed support to accomplish this, and therefore that idea was dropped. The plan as submitted shows private parking and driveway without the use of curbing. The feeling is that we would like to maintain the small residential appearance associated with single family, or duplex's where curbing would not be used. I recognize there are some advantages to using curbing, but I would like to make that decision at a later time. Part of my decision would be based on the advice of town house maintenance companies, and also on what the competition does. As soon as we get council approval on the P.U.D., we will complete construction on the existing condo, and begin our efforts to sell the units. Construction on the 12 townhouse units will not start until after the condo units are essentially sold out. Our plan at this time is to finish the exterior of the existing condo with aluminum siding, similar to the siding to be used on the 12 new townhouse units.
