The building will be , around 559000 sq•• ft, located on over 5 acres of land north of the Soo Line and 'west of Lexington.

Come on , guys, this is really stupid. Parents, could it possibly be Your kids? Most of the damage has occured after 10:00 p.m., so let's all keep an eye peeled. This may be "fun" for the kids, , but it sure is expensive to repair. Discussions are going on about the proposed pedestrian -bicycle trail along the 50' NSP easement which angles northeast from Cleveland and G►lenpaul,1 crosses Stowe, and runs to County Road E. Of course, people are already using the land as is, but if we want to improve it, there is a possibility of. get- ting a 60%-90% funding from the State. The question is: should we go ahead and apply for a State grant to improve this trail? Many residents of this area appeared at the July 10 Council meeting, each with his/her own idea of what should be done. Some want the trail left as is; some want a nice, paved, 8 foot wide walkway. The recommendation of the Parka Committee is a 6' meandering path of crushed limestone (which packs down hard), with some sort.of controlled access to keep out motorized vehicles. There will also be benches, plantings and some fencing. The biggest concern of the residents (and of the Council, too) is that an improved trail will encourage -*otorcycles. It was --argued whether or not strict patrolling for a year or two would significantly reduce this problem. One lady said that the motorized vehicles on a trail by her home have been reduced in numbers over the years; the Council said no amount of patrolling ever cleared up Honda Hills.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the move. The Council hesitated to disagre ITwith the PC, but could see no good reason at this time that anything should be changed from the original plans. Anyway, as of July 10, the Council requested the Building Code Enforcement Officer to see that the trash enclosure is located 'according to the plan approved under the Special Use Permit. The discussion on this took nearly half -an -hour at the Council meeting.
