Paschke. Thomas From: Keith_C_Hug@graco.com Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 9:35 AM To: thomas.paschke@ci.roseville.mn.us Subject: Sunrise Assisted Living Inc. Thomas, My name is Keith Hug, I'm a resident of 1671 Roseplace, not far from the proposed Sunrise Assisted Living site, planning file #3159. My wife Sandy and i feel that this type of structure certainly adds more value to the neighborhood than the current 2555 property. The 2555 property is an eye sore in our opinion along with the 2560 property. It is our opinion that the 2555 grounds are not well maintained. Bags of garbage are regularly seen under the trees at the West end of the parking lot, traffic is noisy to and from bingo sessions, and until last summer, shrubs around the building were overgrown and unsightly. We would welcome seniors to the neighborhood. Further, we hope that the city will take a hard look at rezoning the 2560 property. Currently vacated, this property is "out-of-place" in the residential neighborhood and a further source of traffic problems. Members of the athletic facility had a tendency to drive at excessive speeds with loud music blaring from vehicles. We hope future consideration will be given to either destroying the building, rezoning or incorporation with the park. We would like the City Council to take into consideration redesigning the entrance to Oakcrest to slow traffic. Additionally, we would like the Council to consider appropriating funds to continue the bike/walk path that tracks along the East side of the park. The path is regularly used by walkers/bikers but ends at Oakcrest. People frequently use the path to access the shopping center south of the neighborhood but have no paved access. While an access road was built to the East of the 2525 property it is gated. Please consider continuing the path for pedestrians.
