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 />z <br />5. Before discussing the 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 information from the <br />Post Office regarding the details of the proposed <br />development, anticipated traffic, the timing and frequency <br />P p <br />at <br />- s and other data that <br />o truck deliveries and pick <br />-ups, f p p <br />
