When street and utilit construction commences a next sprin we and Cit staff will inspect the entire site to determine which improvements re repair and/or replacement. As noted in Section I., Para G. of y our Developer's Agreement, ft .. . The repair c an dama to the streets or public utilities b Developer or an o its Contractors or Subcontractors, shall remain the financial responsibilit of the Developer. t.7 Those items re repair and/or replacement shall be done so via an approved chan order or approved additional q uantities to the Cit y 's contract with Burschville Construction, for which y ou are ultimatel financiall responsible. In re to Mr. Ja Johnson's November 18, 2003 letter re street cleanin a review of the site toda reveals unacceptable levels of dirt/mud on all project streets. While these streets are still the maintenance responsibilit of Senior Housin Partners ( i.e., cleanin /sweepin snow plowin etc.), dirt/mud is bein continuall tracked onto existin Cit public streets, namel Nolan Avenue North and Norwich Parkwa and into public storm sewers/ponds. This issue needs to be addressed to the Cit satisfaction immediatel and a routine maintenance pro implemented. 2335 West Hi 36 ■ St. Paul, MN 55113 n 657-636-4600 ■ Fax: 657-636-7311 One last issue that re immediate attention next sprin is the (lack of an) emer over 4D 4-1 flow (EOF) route out of storm water Pond 7. This pond re an EOF be g raded at an elevation no hi than 941.25 to the southwest (behind new Unit No. 5465 at the northeast comer of Nolan Avenue N. and Nolan Parkwa N.). Visual inspection indicates this swale has a been filled in b those responsible for spreadin topsoil. In the event this pond's outlet were to plu or be inundated b a lar storm event, the current EOF route appears to be into the back doors of the four new units adjacent to the west side of the this pond.

Valley Senior Service Alliance has submitted an application for Concept approval for development on land south of 58 Street and west of Oakgreen Ave. The proposed site plan includes 37 — two story townhomes. Building placement and site grading will maximize a vegetation buffer to the south of the new homes and adjacent to the homes on 56 Street. Existing trees will be evaluated to retain those of quality, inferior vegetation will be removed and new trees will be planted to provide appropriate screening between buildings. All site drainage will be directed to run between the new buildings in a northerly direction to a small pond adjacent to 58"' Street, and then under 58 Street to the exiting wetland. The hones will range in size from 1400 square feet to 1800 square feet. Homes will be for sale with a market price ranging between $1.75,000 and $225,000. All units will have two -car attached garages, parking space in the driveways plus 10 visitor parking spaces. An aerial photo has been provided with our application material. Upon approval of the Concept Plan we will conduct the required tree inventory. The total area included in this application is 279,510 square feet. The 37 homes will cove. 70,310 square feet. This area includes the building footprint, decks and adjacent sidewalks. Driveways and guest parking occupy 58,200 square feet. The remaining area of common space, including sidewalks is 151,000 square feet. Since these homes will be offered for sale, we anticipate that construction of one building would begin shortly after all city approvals are in place. Additional buildings will be constructed as units are sold. It is possible that the total project will extend over two construction seasons. Maintenance of common areas and building exteriors will be handled by an association. Appropriate documents will be completed upon approval of the project. 2845 North Hamline Ave. •.- Suite 100 -.• Roseville, Minnesota 55113 ❖ www.seniorpartners.com ❖ (651) 631 -6300 ❖ Fax (651.) 631 -6301 ❖ 800- 891-9126
