David Fellman, 1540 St. Croix, not against residential development against site, feels the project needs an EIS in regards to the peninsula, stated there are springs and deep seeps on this peninsula, requested a 30 day delay so he can get a copy of the hydrologist report from the developer so he can analyze it, asked why we are using less strict regulations for development of this site, feels they are doing dynamic compaction over an old swampy area that may be a collection area for water that supplies Twin Lakes asked for a survey of the peninsula not just aerial photos of the site, would like to know the high water marks, asked how much grading will have to be done, what erosion control will there be, stated the present site is full of debris, requested the City select an expert to determine where the springs are coming into Twin Lake. Faith Woodman. 1420 Spring Valley Road, distributed copies of the January 28, 1997 response to the EAW from the developers attorney, and questioned why they were very much the same, asked what is the role of the Staff in the process, if the best interests of the public have been served, and wants the City to hire independent environmental consultant to be paid for by the developer and supervised by the City Attorney. Glen Halgerson, 1241 Toledo Avenue North, stated this area is a gem to the City and Minneapolis, feels the development will have a serious environmental impact on the area, concerned for the nesting area of the wildlife, feels the EAW doesn't adequately cover these, feels that more than 30% of the trees will be taken down for the development, feels development will change the water quality and that more time is needed to be taken to study the effect of the development of the site. Regular Meeting of the City Council February 4, 1997 Page 5 Public Hearing - Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW� - Results and Recommendation - Hidden Lakes - Continued Hugh Maynard, 1420 Spring Valley Road, opposed to further development on peninsula, frustrated by the lack of governmental protection of the environment in the process, questioned who has the authority of the property the City of DNR, and compared the City's environmental rules to the DNR, expressed concern over the number of homes, the road setback requirements, the protection of the mature trees on the site, the amount of open space, the plans of the developer to move the road, the impervious surfaces, public access to the lake, would like the developer to provide precise surveys, and soil borings on the peninsula, asked where are the springs, are they high or low, how big are they, where is the recharge area, and feels the PUD should preserve the environment. Allen VanDellen, 6432 Westchester Circle, express concern about the adequacy of environmental investigation, questions if the EAW has adequately considered the historical and cumulative effect of changes in the area over the years, showed USGS topographical maps and aerial photos of the site from 1901 to the present day and reviewed the changes in each of the displays, asked if the developer had interviewed the longtime hospital personnel and stated he learned the initial fill was medical, and hospital trash, and refuse and highway construction debris was added on top, feels the elevation of the depressed area changed over the years by 40 feet, requested the Council consider an independent consultant to review the site and feels the Council should not rush to judgment. Larry Miller, 3016 Lynn Avenue South, showed pictures he had taken of the site and expressed his concern over the water quality, aquatic life, wildlife, and cutting of large trees on the site. Barney Rosen, 4820 Killarney Drive, expressed concern over the water quality of Sweeny Lake and thinks that pollution will come from this development, stated there is a big difference between Sweeney Lake and Twin Lake and feels there is a need for an EIS and the project should not go ahead too soon. Rob Devolve, 9110 Golden Valley Road, reviewed the developer plans, and requested the developer provide two plans, a single drawing, drawn at a scale of 50' or 60' to the inch and showing the project boundary, one foot contours, spot elevations, especially around the crest of the ridge, the ordinary high water mark, the wetland boundary and the 14 springs that were recently discovered and not shown on any plan, a separate drawing showing survey points that the surveyor has developed the contour lines from with XYZ coordinates.

David Hanson, 1030 Angelo Drive, feels the preparation for the meeting was done by the staff or by the attorney was done very well and is very pleased with what they are generating, feels there are a lot of little details that still need to worked out but feels its a good project for the neighborhood and will stabilize the neighborhood and something should be done promptly. Cory Austed, 1231 Toledo Avenue North, asked if we are willing to risk the environment for money, asked what are the potential benefits for the environment, feels that cutting trees, forcing out wildlife, potentially polluting water, harming undergowth are not beneficial and the Council should be responsible stewards of the environment. Bobby Griffin, 1326 Spring Valley Road, the developmental guidelines for development for the City are stricter than the DNR and the City guidelines should be used, feels this is a rare piece of property within the metropolitan area, feels no one is against some development on the site, but it should be developed with thought and care and take the time to do it right, requested the Council reject the proposal, make what is one of the most precious pieces of land in the Twin Cities a model to be demonstrated to the rest of the cities in our area as to what can be done with a really undeveloped and a really charming piece of property that can be jewel of the City. Paula Pentel, 941 Angelo Drive, agrees with many of the comments given by the previous speakers, that this is a gem and it would behoove us to take it slowly and to look at the long term stewardship and environmental impacts of developing this piece of property, concerned the City has not received the surveys it needs to make a decision on the environmental impact of developing that peninsula, as a citizen that sits on one of the boards downstream from the Council and from this meeting she now has a laundry list of about 20 items that need to be covered at my public hearing, that has not seen any information on yet and is concerned that this is moving forward too quickly, would like to make sure that we are working with accurate information, agrees with the things Mr. Devolve had to say in terms of what he thought were necessary items of information for the Council to have in order to assess the environmental impacts of developing the peninsula. Regular Meeting of the City Council February 4, 1997 Page 7 Public Hearing - Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA1N� - Results and Recommendation - Hidden Lakes - Continued Linda Fisher, representing the developer, Hidden Lakes, including a team of environmental professionals that we are very proud of we want to go on record as indicating that we believe that the EAW that is prepared is of the highest quality and that it meets all applicable requirements and that is establishes a very strong basis under the legal criteria in state law that the City must follow for acting on an EAW, and it establishes a very strong factual and legal basis for the negative declaration that is proposed in the resolution, thinks that the record contains ample support for making the findings and the four criteria outlined by the city attorney and requests action on a negative declaration. Under our direction and the direction of the developer, met with city staff and regulatory agencies and asked for input on the consultants that should be assembled as part of the new team after the original EAW was prepared, the comments were received and the expertise that has been brought to bear on this project in terms of water quality, wetlands, wildlife habitat etc., we think is unparalleled and we are very proud of the team that has been put together.
