uesday, ebruary <br />• <br />• <br />SIP • : • <br />o: •onna son <br />Dear Council Member, <br />rom: •enrns er, <br />I am writing to you in hopes of opening a dialog re; the planned 22 acre <br />expansion/development of the south side of the neighborhood known as Fox Trace. Many <br />of us Fox Trace residents recently attended a meeting hosted by K -G Development where <br />we were presented with two proposed plans of development. We greatly appreciated the <br />opportunity to review the proposed plans and were able to have many of our questions <br />answered. However, there are two areas of concern we would like to have voice in. <br />The first of these is the desire to have Lino Lakes consider including a public park area <br />within this new development. We feel strongly that the existing city park areas are not <br />easily or safely accessible by the families and children of Fox Trace as we are bordered <br />by high volume and high speed roads (e.g. Ware Road, County Road J, and Hodgson <br />Road). There are currently many families and children that would greatly benefit from <br />such a park area, in addition to the 30 to 60 new families that the new development calls <br />for. <br />Our second area of concern is the proposed plan to include multi - family town homes in <br />the new development. We do not find this plan desirous for the following reasons: <br />1) The addition of approximately 60 new families could bring the burden of between <br />50 and 100 automobiles on our local streets, easily doubling the current traffic. <br />2) The aesthetics of our single family home community would be diminished. <br />3) The relative property values of our single family homes could be diminished. <br />4) The requirement of this type of housing (as called for by Lino Lakes development <br />plans) can be satisfied elsewhere. <br />We would like to make our concerns known to the appropriate Lino Lakes Planning <br />Boards, perhaps in the form of meetings and/or written documents. I would ask you to <br />please advise us on how to proceed. <br />Thank you, <br />Dennis Ricker (et. al) <br />6231 Linda Ln <br />Lino Lakes <br />651- 481 -8866 <br />age: 1 of 1 <br />
