Comments <br />Sin�le-Family Residential Lot Split Study Open House <br />What should single family development look like? <br />■ Owasso Hillstt <br />Nice cul-de-sac. A real shortage of 500K-600K & upper bracket townhomes 500-700K. <br />Small lots, front porches, sidewalks — like Falcon Heights. Let's get into the 21S` century <br />w/our new construction! <br />■ Around open space with irregular streets. <br />What physical impact are you most concerned with from new single-family homes? <br />■ Water & vegetation issues. The seemingly slow process & the mindset of long time <br />Roseville residents that we are out in the country. We are not. We are a 1S` ring suburb and <br />not allowing good single family homes will doom this city to be a renter's haven. <br />• City not moving fast eno�u�h. <br />■ Loss of green space. <br />What is the minimum number of lots a new public street should serve? <br />That is not a fair question, depends on neighborhood. <br />How should Roseville accommodate new residential growth? <br />■ The ambience of Roseville is spoiled by putting 2 houses on a single lot. The building plans <br />are not compatible — look at Acorn Rd. As we remove green space and every split does, we <br />take the livability out of our city. Please provide the physical attractiveness of our city — we <br />are unique. Northwestern College has been allowed to ruin two lakes — stop them nowttt <br />■ The city needs to keep the school system alive, as that affects property values as much if not <br />more than anything else. The best thing that has happened in a long time is Owasso Hills <br />where homes can support larger families. That brings up the affordability issue. If you <br />decrease the lot sizes you can hold down costs and still put up a quality 2 story. Attracting <br />young families is key. <br />■ By becoming a litde more open-minded. <br />■ Carefully with much resident input not with lot splits. People who have platted subdivisions <br />should be able to rely on current density — not neighborhood greed potential on the requests <br />of Met Council. <br />Comments <br />This is a good idea, but not approving development is not to grow & flourish. Our city will <br />die on the vine without more homes to keep the people (families) in our school district — <br />many people have to buy in Shoreview — SAD commentary. <br />No lot splits. Need new housing? Work with space available — new housing techniques — <br />build communities. <br />Single-Family Lot Split Open House: March 15, 2006 1 of 2 <br />
