Peter Moyer, resident of Killarney Drive, noted that it is an industrial property located next to a
park and a big concern is the number of trees that are going to be removed since they act as a
buffer for the neighborhood.
Rose Barnett, 4841 Killarney Drive, had questions regarding lighting requirements and
enforcement. She also noted that the neighborhood is not a commercial corridor and wondered
why this business is not in the 394 corridor. She does not believe it is a good fit for the
neighborhood as they want park space not parking lots.
Shari Brixson, resident of Killarney Drive, believes this project will impact the quality of life for the
residents of Killarney Drive and hopes the Council will take that into consideration.
Mayor Harris closed the public hearing.
Planning Manager Zimmerman discussed code enforcement, conditions of the permit, current
zoning of the property, traffic study, and requirements for tree replacement while noting the
landscape plan submitted by the applicant meets those requirements.

neighborhood if the City can work with MnDOT to manage that intersection better.
The Council thanked the residents for their comments and encouraged the applicant to work with
the neighborhood to be a good neighbor.
