cwiQQia m TI . ChQOln1bog, W). Phys. & Surg. 3430 Glen Arden Road St. Paul, Minnesota 55112 April, 4th, 1984 Jim Andre — Roseville City Administrator Ron Moorse — Roseville Planning Commissioner Gentlemen; (Re; Tile planned shopping center to be developed by the Marco Construction Co.,Jack Adamson, et al at 2191 N. Snelling, Roseville, Mn., the Present site of the 'La,�t Frontier'-adjoinin my property, the Roseville Family and Industrial Clinic. I observe on the plans for the above shopping center that the group contemplates building within 5 (fivel feet of my property. I also note that bore holes for soil testing has been made in two areas five and six feet from my property line. I find that building this close to the _prop— erty line is intolerable for the following reasons; Problem #1 Water Five feet does not allow for proper drainage of this property. Even as the property now stands, it was necessary for me to place a curb on our drivewayto ,prevent water from the frontier property over running our property. I n(ite the intention of draining to the South from the back of the building but this will be of little value after compaction of snow from plowing through the winter — come the spring run off, nor does it i:ermit of proper drainage from the snow that drifts in on the side of the building. Problem 1Y2 Maintenance Five feat from the property lot line will not permit of building- repairs and mak"6enance. Problem ;3 Snow Removal The builderhas made no allowance for snow removal or storage. (please keep in ,hind there are four to five mon$t each. year that we must remove snow off of the drives and parking areas.) As you can see by the site description the only practical way to plow for a large part of the area will be from South to North. In so doing, how will they pile up 10 to 15 feet mountains of ,snow in a five foot area??? This is bound to spill over onto my, driveway and parking areas and cause interference with the use of my property To avoid this, they must leave at least 20' on both the front and rear parking areas on the North side of their lot adjoining mine for Snow Depository., (See area on site plan that I have marked in red). If thisdepository area is not sufficient, the snow will have to be bucketed out or glowed in other directions to avoid damaging my property and the use thereof. Problem �4 e eyt, access, visibility,esthetic appearance The city ordinance states the the building should be no closer to the adjoining property than 10 Feet. Tile ordinance was created for Fire Dept. access in erase of need, for visibility of the properties, and for esthetic value as well as all of the reasons I have stated above.
