Please distribute copies of it at the meeting. <br />..... Original Hessage ..... <br />From: GaW Maxson [mailto:gaw.maxson@itaScasystems.net] <br />Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 7:36 AH <br />To-' Sylvia Frolik <br />Subject: National Growth- Rum River meadows <br /> <br />Thanks. <br /> <br />Sylvia, <br /> <br />I will be out of town during the planning commission review on Jan. 6th SO I would like to pass on a few of my <br />comments/concerns. <br /> <br />I am an existing home owner on the adjacent ,single family homes community north of the proposed sketch plan. <br />My comments/concerns are as follows: ~ <br /> <br />-The townhome density seems very high compared to the adjacent housing development (Zoned R1). When the <br />roads, wetlands, ponds, etc. are subtracted it would seem to be much higher then the adjacent development, <br />which are approx. 1/3 acre lots (3 per acre). <br />-I have concerns about drainage problems during a heavy rainstorm. Will the proposed ponds affect the existing <br />drainage ponds of the adjacent development? The drainage pond of the adjacent existing development will back <br />up as far as lot 9 during heavy rainstorms'(probabl~/a lot more then what was planned). Will all this drainage <br />cause damage to the existing wetland during a heagy rainstorm? <br />-Townhomes 6,7,8,16,17 are extremely close to the existing single family homes. <br />-There are 28 townhomes, not 20 as stated. <br />-My last comment/concern is what this will do to the traffic funnel to hwy 10. Backups are 1-2 miles every morning <br />and evening. Are the developers having to contribute to the eventual (hopefully) road upgrades? Should we be <br />rezoning when we already have huge traffic problems? <br /> <br />Thanks, <br /> <br />Gary Maxson <br />5910 157th Lane <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Ph. 763-427-0300 <br />Cell: 612-801-8962 <br /> <br />/5/2OO5 <br /> <br /> <br />
