Please note that the Roseville Police Department had a representative at
the planning commission meeting and indicated that it has not had any
problems with the existing pawn shop in Roseville and would not expect
any with the new pawn shop. The pawn shop was discussed at great length
at the planning commission meeting.

Thanks Dan for giving residents the opportunity for input. The article
you provided was helpful.
I had never been in a Pawn Shop before reading the article you
referenced but my reaction has always been negative.
Because I have received three phone calls asking what position the
Roseville Citizens League had on this matter I stopped and visited the
one on Rice Street in Little Canada that is called- LINCOLN PAWN- and
visited one of the other businesses close by. Please note that the RCL
has no position and has not even discussed the issue up to this point.
The owner of Lincoln Pawn indicated that he does not deal with items
like car stereos- bikes etc that are more likely to be stolen. I walked
through the place and found it having a lot of items that one would find
in a jewelry or hardware store. Even golf clubs- A business in the same
block said that they had never had a problem and considered the Pawn
Shop a good Neighbor.
I then checked out the one in Roseville at the North West corner of Rice
St. and Larpenteur. One of the Business owners in the area stated that
the Pawn Shop does effect the type of clientele that frequents the area
and that it would be better if they were not there.
It would seem to me that before the matter is considered by the City
Council on the 28th that information be obtained from both the Roseville
& Little Canada Police Depts to see what the history has been as far as
any difficulties- I know that Roseville has a number of empty commercial
buildings so it is not an easy decision. Roger Roger Toogood
