Single-Family Residential Lot Split Study <br />Traffic <br />■ Even scrubby understory has value in terms of birds, bugs, critters, etc. Too bad one lot could not have been <br />maintained as "wild". I also expect run-off issues with rain snow to worsen with more homes...more impervious <br />surfaces are BAD. Also, I feel bad for the people right next door. I'd feel screwed if I were them. More speeders too! <br />■ Loss of privacy. Increased noise (traffic & construction). <br />5. If you were in the market to buy a house today, would you buy one in your neighborhood? <br />61% Yes 28% No 8% Yes and No <br />Whv? <br />Affordability/Diversity of Housing <br />■ Too expensive. <br />Aesthetics <br />■ Nice neighborhood with great locations. However, I would not purchase a home within visual proximity of this <br />subdivision <br />Families/Schools <br />■ Great location - central for Mpls. and St. Paul; younger families are moving here = more kids to grow-up and play <br />together. <br />Fit/Context of Neighborhood <br />■ All the old smaller homes are being torn down and ugly big homes replacing them. I liked the small town older <br />neighborhood feeling when I moved in. Now it's gone! <br />■ It's a great neighborhood - except we didn't appreciate the big houses (4) that were built on our dead end. <br />■ The developer may try to entice more homeowners to sell, to build more developments on the street. 10 McMansions <br />built on 3 3/4 acres - isn't this a bit much? <br />■ Financially I had (and still have) the ability to live in any community I choose. In 1996 I chose to purchase my 1-acre <br />lot because of LOCATION. It was QUIET, on a semi-private road, and all of the surrounding neighbors appreciated <br />(and paid for) the luxury of large, quiet lots. Roseville has few areas like the Chatsworth/Shryer area. It has been <br />forever damaged and my allegiance to this area had been damaged. I attended all city council meetings to have a voice <br />and address this issue and signed petitions, yet the city council chair railroaded the issue. <br />Habitat/Open Space/Trees <br />■ But not one of the 952 to 978 homes. We love our long lot with woods and animal life at 928. I would buy in this <br />location if one had such a wonderful lot size. <br />■ House (lot to build) was chosen for convenience of location and size for gardening. Might not buy in Roseville if <br />available lot sizes become too small for large gardens. <br />Location <br />■ Convenient location, quiet. <br />■ Roseville is convenient, established, good schools, good public services (fire, law, etc.), well thought out. <br />■ Great location - central for Mpls. and St. Paul; younger families are moving here = more kids to grow-up and play <br />together. <br />■ Nice neighborhood with great locations. However, I would not purchase a home within visual proximity of this <br />subdivision <br />Property Values <br />■ Not in the specific location we are at It ruined our property. <br />Traffic <br />■ Damn right I would! Roseville, especially this little nook, is a great place. Even in a soft market, people snatch up <br />homes here quickly. Please, if only we could get a sidewalk and traffic calming techniques on Northbound Lex, from <br />Parker to B!! Please, please! <br />Other <br />■ Maybe. <br />Uratt 3 of 3 <br />
