Attached is a series of three drawings illustrating the <br />proposed development of the land, platting of the <br />property, and a landscape plan. Also attached is a <br />statement from Mr. Kaufhold outlining his proposal for <br />development and the sale of a portion of the land to the <br />City for park purposes. <br />5. Before discussing th.o specifics of the proposals, it may <br />be helpful to review some of the background as it relates <br />to the Post Office question. <br />Several years ago representatives of the Post Office <br />system visited the staff indicating their desire and <br />intent to seek a new site and build an expanded Post <br />Office to serve the Roseville area. The first objective <br />was to find a new site as close to the previous site as <br />possible since that site was considered ideal except for <br />its size and capability. We discussed some possibilities, <br />one of which was the Lexington School site. <br />Another option was some of the single-family home sites <br />fronting on Hamlin Avenue, south of the Wilbur -Chandler <br />Vault site. After several visits we did not heard from <br />the Post Office representatives until the current <br />proposal. <br />6. During November of this past year, the Post Office people <br />:from the regional office in Chicago put out a request for <br />proposal to area land owners or developers to submit sites <br />for the Post Office consideration. Land area and building <br />size criteria were included in the proposal. Mr. Kaufhold <br />submitted the 3.5 acre site as indicated on the attached <br />drawing for their consideration. Subsequent to that the <br />Post Office people selected this site as it best suits <br />their needs. Though we requested from them the other <br />options that were considered, they do not as a policy <br />disclose this information. <br />7. We have attempted to give you more <br />Post Office regarding the details <br />development, anticipated traffic, <br />of truck deliveries and pick-ups, <br />information from the <br />of the proposed <br />the timing and frequency <br />and other data that <br />
