Single-Family Residential Lot Split Study Aesthetics of Neighborhood ■ Two older unimproved homes on Parker at the subdivision site were removed. Families/Schools ■ Visibility for the neighborhood and visibility that Roseville can be a place to grow with your family. Fit/Context of Neighborhood ■ Definitely not This development does not fit the neighborhood. Property Values ■ 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. ■ Ultimately may increase value of our home - but that is not clear yet. Other ■ Really too soon to evaluate impacts. Only one house complete. Ask again in 6 months. 4. Have you noticed any negative neighborhood impacts since the subdivision of this lot? 61% Yes 39% No If ,�res, what? Aesthetics • Ugly� Fit/Context of Neighborhood ■ Didn't realize new homes would be so tall. Lot of dust and di�t, but I realize this is part of construction. (They did try to water and clean up Parker whenever they could.) Habitat/Open Space/Trees ■ Noise, trees being cut down, less deer. ■ Even scrubby understory has value in terms of birds, bugs, critters, etc. Too bad one lot could not have been maintained as "wild". I also expect run-off issues with rain snow to worsen with more homes...more impervious surfaces are BAD. Also, I feel bad for the people right next door. I'd feel screwed if I were them. More speeders too! ■ Again, really too soon for full evaluation. Impacts on runoff/flooding to neighboring properties will not be known till construction/landscaping is complete and spring runoff/siimmer rains occur. Impacts to wildlife, however, were evident as soon as land clearing began. Wildlife (deer, etc.) are now barred from accessing wetlands/open spaces from the west. Width passages/corridors blocked, deer are now being seen on streets and in yards more. Roseville should explore wildlife corridors and corridor set-aside width splits to insure a 15' to 20' corridor along the south edge of the split would have helped. ■ Short-term=noisy. Long-term=Loss of natural habitat to wildlife; quality of extended neighborhood suffered with loss of mature trees & buffer zone; low home-per-acre density. ■ All the trees, bushes were pulled out, grass plowed under on the 3 3/4 acres of land. Not environmentally good - animals, birds were displaced. Shame on Mayor Clausing and all the council members who voted for this development. ■ Reduction of trees, bi�d life, some drainage issues are apparent - but too early to tell.
