January 30, 1989 Mayor Frank Rog 1589 Roselawn Avenue Roseville, Minnesota 55113 Dear Mayor Rog: It is my understanding that the Planning Commission and the Roseville city council will be meeting this month to consider the expansion of Pavilion Place. As a resident who is directly affected by this development, I urge your . upport for the expansion. I have lived at 1630 Brooks Avenue for the past six years and have witnessed dramatic changes to a lovely residential section of Roseville. The once aesthetic scenery is currently dominated by a 40 foot brick wall, (the rear of Pavilion Place and the former fresh, clean air has been overcome by the gas fumes emitted from the ever-increasing number of vehicles. on Snelling Avenue. The garbage and debris thrown daily by movie-goers and shoppers going to and from the malls is a constant frustration to local homeowners. When the Roseville City Council approved the Loehmann's Plaza and Pavilion Place development projects it actually signed a death warrant for the Brooks -Bruce area, as residential property. To continue to identify an area completely surrounded by commercial activity, as residential, is contrary to good public policy. When Loehmann's Plaza and Pavilion Place were built, the market to which my property would appeal was drastically limited. My investment in a residential property was seriously devalued. A review of the discussion which preceded the approval of these commercial sites would reveal that both the Planning Commission and the Roseville City Council recognized and acknowledged that the Brooks -Bruce area would be adversely affected as residential property and should be viewed as potential commercial sites. To leave the homeowners on Bruce and Brooks r-%venues stranded on a tiny residential-ismi rc literally surrounded by commercial development, watching their long-term investment rapidly diminish is neither responsive nor responsible government. I thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this proposed expansion and urge you to provide my neighbors and myself with a method to recoup our losses ana! relocate to a truly residential area. Thank you, e",& 64� aYG4_1__ Carole Pagones
