Single-Family Residential Lot Split Study ■ The lots in this area are large, and the loss of privacy, the increased noise & increased traffic was unwelcome. Those lots are out of proportion to the rest of the neighborhood. ■ Added traffic, trees removed, construction noise. 10 houses is too much. Housing market has changed. ■ Improvement to neighborhood. ■ Increase surrounding property values. ■ Originally 16 townhomes were planned for this site, when neighbors banded together to oppose rezoning, approval by the City Council was denied. (City staff supported the rezoning and PUD plan, initially). That developer sold the property and another developer was able to meet setback requi�ements and subdivide the lot to 4 single-family lots. ■ Because the City Council voted to keep the area zoned "single-family" instead of "medium density" (townhouses) to override the Planning Commission action. ■ I was supportive of the original plan to build four twin homes on the property, but not of the final decision to build four large homes. They do not fit with the other homes in the neighborhood. ■ Originally they wanted to put town houses on the property. I was opposed! I am glad they put single-family homes on the property. They turned out very nice. ■ Lovely homes came into the area and helped our values. ■ We were extremely happy when single-family homes were built. We were not in favor of multiple housing. ■ First they were going to build townhouses then they divided them into four single-family lots. I think four lots were too many. ■ Want to support families with children. Single-family homes most likely to bring in families with children. Supportive for single-family homes. Opposed to apts, condos, townhomes - do not fit into environment - look of the street. ■ Why not? ■ Because it was a big lot and can easily [be] subdivided to a single family home. 3. Have you noticed any nositive neighborhood impacts since the subdivision of this lot? 41% Yes 57% No If ves. what? ■ Indifferent. ■ Only from one source did I hear any positive feedback - supposedly my property increased in value. I'll let you know in 20+ years! This was from a realtor passing by. ■ Nice looking homes have improved look of neighborhood and values. ■ New house on County B is much more attractive than old one. ■ They have built two nice new homes. ■ Housing stock has improved! ■ Older house upgraded to newer high-value home. ■ House looks better than the lot that was there. ■ Everyone says it looks like a park now and 1VIrs. Bucher really enjoyed the landscape till she moved. The property is much improved, and very enjoyable to have. ■ Absolutely not! ■ One more family in neighborhood. ■ I hope they don't think they can split the lot next door. There is not the room. ■ These home/lots are so high priced, it will buoy my home value. I also expect these new homes will add a greater property taY base than the current housing stock. ■ Two older unimproved homes on Parker at the subdivision site were removed. ■ Visibility for the neighborhood and visibility that Roseville can be a place to grow with your family. ■ Really too soon to evaluate impacts. Only one house complete. Ask again in 6 months. ■ Definitely not This development does not fit the neighborhood. ■ Ultimately may increase value of our home - but that is not clear yet. ■ Hamline Ave. "looks" better. ■ Nice people in 3 of 4 homes, well kept properties. ■ Four high-quality houses were built and sold immediately to qualified buyers. ■ All of the neighbors were happy that single dwelling homes were built on the property. ■ Our neighbors are very pleased to have single-family homes in such a busy traffic area. �lL�lLUU l 1)r� 2 of 5
