Dear Bill and Council Members:
In looking forward to the days ahead it is with both regret and with thanks that I am tendering my
resignation from the Rosemount Planning Commission. My last meeting will be March 23,
2004.
My wife and I are moving out of Rosemount and I felt that I should give as much notice as
possible so that you as a planning body, could fill my role as Planning Commissioner and Vice -
Chair, sooner rather than later, as you will be filling out our Jeff, our Chair's, position as well.
It has been a very rewarding and challenging experience to serve as a Planning Commission
Member. I would like to thank you Mayor Droste and the Council for allowing me to serve the
residents of Rosemount.
I commend the job Jeff did in chairing the Commission and the fine job, time and commitment
that Terry, Myron and Jason have done as well. While we may not have always agreed on things
we all had a successful working relationship that got the job done.
The city should encourage others to serve as part of one of the city's commissions to become
more aware and involved in the issues that make Rosemount such a special place to live.
I would encourage the Mayor and Council to keep the residents and taxpayers interests in mind
as you move forward towards development of downtown and new neighborhoods throughout
Rosemount. Diversification of the tax base with more businesses and jobs is needed to keep
Rosemount's tax base from a continual rise that only residential development creates.
Furthermore, decisions should be based on the good of the community and be council driven not
developer based. You are responsible to the residents and taxpayers of Rosemount not the board
of directors of some LLC or Corporation.
Again my sincerest thanks and best wishes for all of you for continued success in Rosemount.
Sincerely,
David Anderson
