Distance from adjacent properties: The Proposed building will be appro�mately 97 feet from the SF home on the east (Enzler property), and appro�mately 124 feet from the townhome on the northeast corner (Stenson property). The closest point of the proposed building from Midland Grove Condominiums to the north is over 200 feet away. The building setback, height revisions, and design changes that we've made soften the visual impact of the project from both roads as well as from the adjacent homes that are in pro�mity to the project. Housing Op�ortunit� This development will be a useful addition for the City in retaining Roseville's senior community and adding additional quality housing stock This will allow for many Roseville residents who may want to downsize into maintenance-free living, the option to stay in the community. We believe the location serves a good demographic as well as a wide geographic area. While housing starts are slowing, we are confident this quality active senior living concept featuring many amenities, will be affordable, and marketable. The City will benefit with an estimated $11 million taxable project compared to an e�sting single-family home with a taxable value of $300,000. This location is well suited for a high-density project, and no subsidy is being asked of the City/taxpayers. Note: Census information indicates that Edina, St. Anthony and Roseville have the highest percentage of seniors in the Twin Cities metro area, with over 21% of the 34,000 Roseville City residents over 65 years of age. `The Orchard' density is less than five senior housing proposals approved in Roseville. Develo�ment densities for other senior housing�rojects in Roseville are as follows: • Rose Pointe 6-story (148 units on 5 acres) _ • Applewood Pointe II 4-story (94 units on 3.4 Acres) • Applewood Pointe I 4-story (95 units on 3.6 Acres) _ • Greenhouse Village 3-story (102 units on 4 Acres) _ • Good Samaritan Society (50 units on 2 Acres) _ • The Orchard 3-story (55 units on 2.23 Acres) _ • Midland Grove 3-story (174 units on 9.25 Acres) _ The proposed Roseville Community benefits of this project are: 1� Increased taxable value of approximately $11 million. 29.5 units/acre = 27.9 units/acre 26.4 units/acre 25.5 units/acre 25 units/acre 24.5 units/acre 18.8 units/acre 2� Quality life cycle housing opportunities for the active senior living community. 3� Highest and best use of this underutilized in-fill site; is an efficient user of the City's infrastructure; and will have a minimal impact on City systems. 4� Will allow for greater opportunities for families to live in Roseville by freeing up larger homes that empty nesters and seniors may not want to maintain anymore.
