To: The Roseville Planning Commission <br />The Rosevitle City Council <br />John Kysyly¢yn, Mayor of Roseville <br />2660 CivicCcnter Drive <br />Roseville, MN55113 <br />I support putting a nsw Ctib supermarket in the Har Mar Matl and ask that you apprave the variance that <br />will allow the Coh to be bnilt as soon as possr'ble. The addition of a Cub to the Har Mac will pcovide locat, <br />coavenient acx;ess W a supem�arket, improve the stability of the mail anci help W ensure that Roseville has a <br />stable tax b�se of bus�incsses. <br />The Har Mar mall bas been in exietence since 1962. The e�t%ct of tbe mall on local properiy values has <br />long since been cbne. T7re mall is and bas baen a commes'caa1, retail propeity for alsnost 40 years. The use <br />of the sp�oe far a st�amarloet is appropriabe and provides bencfits for local re.sidents. <br />Somo of the local nsidants canoerns abo�ut the Cub i�lude inaeased traffic oongestion, ooise and soorm <br />nm-o�ff. Tl�a owaers of the mall, Brsdtey R�al Estate, l�ave worked with local n�ide�s to understaud tbe <br />nesidents' concerna. Bradley and Cub ha�e ad�ed all of the issues withsolid (and oostly) solutions to <br />Potential probiems• <br />I would like the Har Mar to oontinue as a suooessful shopping center. Smaller sltoppi�ng malls in the 'Itivii► <br />Cides have boen closing. We c�ead stories thart are publishecf in the local newspspers describung the <br />pmoMems of th�e samll malls. The Har Mar is mt exampt from tl�e,se pc�oblems. 'Itirnaver af busit�esses in <br />the Her Mar bms also been observod Tl�e additiott af a Cub mark�et will lulp ensure a�ta�nciallY sound <br />maU tbat is a viable r�etail anter in tt�e fattue. We would p��fer to not have a vscaiu mall in the <br />naghborlwod. Not am�y wou�d a vacant m�all d�uact from the neighborhood, but ti� po�ential loss of tax <br />dollazs from tlu mall «�uuld result ia a lugher tax rate for Roseville citizens. <br />� <br />The mall pa+ovid� many benefits: a walkitig area for raideats w uee for exerase du�ing the l�g vvinter <br />months, speoe for a local fare�ers n�ark�et in the s�awner, a lacal movie thestre, a variety of r�a��a�s, a <br />]arge �donai chaia booicstorq and wffee sbop ta naa� only a few. One o� the benefits of living ia an <br />u�n eavir+onnunt is to bave easy access to sho�p�ing, re�uants and �t. <br />I ucge you to vome W approve tlu constcuction of the Ctib market at the Har Mar mall immediately. <br />�/I,( � .ts ,r nr i ��f,Q� / <br />�- �, ''i, '� I �'�,I <br />� I�. <br />i �i,� � � _ 'u � ���� �, <br />, �; <br />''� I MA 1 0 2000 !l� f� <br />�'� �I �� � <br />� <br />/�� f� <br />
