ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION 6 Thursday, December 9, 1993 Mr. Johnson said that Lovell and Grandview Avenues should accommodate 300- 500 vehicle trips per day. This level could double if the majority of the vehicles from the Grandview project used Grandview Avenue. Mr. Johnson noted that, if retail or service uses were proposed on this site instead of townhomes, the traffic volumes along Lexington and Grandview would be significantly more than any residential development. Dan Ogren, Marketing Director for Good Value Homes, explained the changes in the architectural design including new roof lines, two-car attached garage, two different interior designs with one of 1450 sq. ft. and the other of 1350 sq. ft., the inclusion of fireplaces, and the exterior maintenance-free siding. Ogren noted that the price range for these units will be $85,000 to $95,000 each. He said the market for these units will be a broad spectrum of buyers including young professionals, starter-home families, and some empty-nesters. Mr. Peterson explained the site plan in detail especially the open-space area at the north end of the site. Member Rengel asked whether a different design of building, especially a condominium building along the south side of the project with a tuck-under garage parking would be feasible. Mr. Peterson explained, that's not the type of building that Good Value builds. Peterson said that the development could have smaller units and provide more green space. Citizens John Sazma, 1055 West Grandview stated that he was one of four families that has lived at the intersection of Lexington and Grandview for 40 years and found that it is impossible to enter Lexington Avenue in the morning headed south. Residents must go east to Chatsworth first. He noted the project does not solve all of the traffic problems at the site. Mrs. Clair Sazma, 1065 Grandview, stated that Grandview has become the route by which fire trucks, delivery trucks, and ambulances head to the nursing home. There is no parking in front of the homes. An additional driveway from the Grandview project would enter onto Grandview Avenue directly in front of her yard.
