6. This development contradicts some of Roseville's Residential Policies as outlined in section C. of sta�s report to you. (de�sities/setbaci�s} 7. Price points of the twin/quad homes will lead to these properties becoming rental propertieswithin a few years. This area does not need any more rental property. 8. As a condition of a�'UD can Roseville require a"deed restriction" requiring the housing units to be owner occupied? Mounds View has held several "Neighborhood Meetings" regarding this development. The vast maj ority of the meetings have been centered on the sites pollution. The pollutant has been identified as Perchloroethyleneor "Perc", a solvent used in the printing industry. According to Mounds Views experts, this pollutant will dissolve on its own, with time. As described by Mounds Views experts the public is not at rislc unless they would be using a well for drinlcing water. Very little time has been allocated to a discussion of the "Land Use" aspect of this development. It is only at the last meeting on July 27, 2006 that any real discussion toolc place, it lasted about fifteen minutes. I understand Mounds View is under no obligation to engage in any discussion with neighbors, as to their plans. However, if they are going to put forth the perceptionthat this project considersthe neighbors concerns, it is false. In the end I thinlc this project could move forward with the blessing of the neighborhood, given some real bacic and forth discussionbetween the neighbors and developers talces place. Attached to this letter you will find a slcetch I made using one of Moser's proposed plats. It includes two three plex homes (6 units total, located to the westerly edge of the parcel) and seven single family units. Given today's property tax rates, these seven single family lots alone, would generate about seven to eight thousand per year to the City of Roseville. I have also attached a copy of some recent MLS listings of single family homes located at Oal�c;rest and I-�arza:lin�e Ave. Both of these properties have sold within the past six months. One property sold at $545K the other $489K If an office building was to be considered, a 37,000 to 40,000 sf office building would have a marlcet value in the neighborhoodof four million. This would generate (on the low end) about thirteen thousand in property taxes to the city of Roseville annually. At this time I would aslc the commission to deny the four motions before you, or table their request to allow a dialogue between the development team and neighbors. �i�c�crel sr �� rl �ii] rnr,�s
