Can you provide the locaon <br />of the development and proposed renderings is available of the complex. <br /> <br />I do have several comments regarding the proposed development and the issues with Fields of Arbor Glen complex that <br />was built several years ago. I had purchased my home 4040 Lady Slipper Road when there was no building in the empty <br />cornfield behind my house. I am aware that development would happen behind our homes, but the disregard or no <br />effort to minimize the effect of 3 story building behind our homes was not considered with design, variances granted to <br />the developer that solely benefited the developer, the construcon process and screening between the bu ilding and <br />homeowner’s backyards I know my comments will have minimal affect on how this project moves forward, but hope <br />you would consider remedies to the consistent problems we had during the Fields at Arbor Glen construcon project <br />and how these current and future buildings in our backyards affects our daily lives. <br /> <br />1) Are there any plans for addional road improvements for access around the development. I am hoping the <br />renderings shows vehicle access points out of this new development. <br />2) Can you PLEASE add addional evergreens to the tree line (this tree line is the only separaon between our lots <br />and buildings. We had requested numerous mes duri ng the Fields of Arbor Glen planning to add <br />trees/evergreens between the building and told the developer is not required to make these requests. Again, <br />this is crucial for screening and to provide some type of privacy for all residents. <br />3) For 1 year we had loud music starng at 7 am unl 8 pm for the enre spring, summer and fall during <br />construcon of the Fields We had called the police , the construcon supervisor and the city with no <br />resoluon. When you have small children or work fr om home, windows had to be shut and try to find a quiet <br />place to do your daily acvies. I know this is n ot a major concern with the developer, but when you have 6 <br />months of consistent music echoing in the backyards of our homes it was frustrang. I called the pol ice 2 mes <br />to correct the issue and sent numerous emails to the city to address with the construcon <br />supervisor. Unfortunately, there are no ordinances in Lake Elmo that prevent music from being loud on a <br />construcon site. <br />4) I am not sure on how much trees/bushes will be removed from the natural tree line between the buildings and <br />homes, but please preserve as much as possible. The Fields of Arbor Glen removed many trees/bushes for their <br />building’s set back which defeated any screening for residents. I would highly recommend some type of closed <br />fencing that provides addional privacy and screeni ng on the lot line. We had requested this for the Fields and <br />was told there were no plans for this by the developer. <br /> <br />Thank you for your me and look forward to the docu ments. <br /> <br />Lisa Crain <br />4040 Lady Slipper Road <br /> <br /> <br /> You don't often get email from lisa.crain@jll.com.
