Goff Construction 1278 E. County Rd. C Maplewood, Minn. 55109 612.484.2566 June 11, 1985 .Dear Council Member, On June 10, 1985, we came before the council for approval Of putting in Rose Place, We were also to receive preliminar plat approval at the same time. You chose to table the y issue until the next council meeting. We are in a very confused state at this time. We are ' getting mixed messages from people. At this point we don't know which way to turn. One year ago we proposed a townhome development with a cut 'de sac up the middle of the property. We asked for Rose Place to be vacated. We approached asking that Rose Place be vacated. SwHesrefusedon toito s igPetition We were unanaimously turned down by the council for this tde- velopment. This was due to neighbor opposition. We are now requesting to put in twelve homesites or six du- plex lots and you are rejecting that idea. The land zoned R-2, we are proposing less than the allowable densityilimit, we are now proposing, to put Rose Place through, as you refused to vacate it, we are proposing duplexes, as OU wanted duplexes, and now you are rejecting thatstated idea. youidea.hope You can understand our confusion at this point. We stem to be in a no win situation. We have spent the past year workingwith to come up with a feasible plan tht wouldcausur eamount of opposition from the neighborhood and yet still be compatible with the land and we still can't get approval. If you don't approve Rose Place going in you are making the land undevelopable. You won't vacate it and you won't put it through. We would be agreeable with the Mayors suggestion to end Rose Place where it would meet Fernwood Court. We would only be Putting twelve additional families on to Fernwood. A temporar barricade could be placed at that point, allowing emergenc y vehicles access to the property along the public utility edSe- ment. We are sympathetic to the concerns of the mobile home park owner for not wanting the assessments against his property. By stopping Rose Place at Pernwood Court this would ease his burden and still create four developable duplex lots for him.
