Boston Scientific is <br />a committed corporate citizen of this community and takes its adjoining neighbors’ concerns seriously. <br />We want to assure the City of Arden Hills, and its residents, that the expansion project will not impact the <br />quality of life enjoyed by its resident, nor cause any environmental impacts to the surrounding habitat. <br />Towards this end, we have addressed each of the resident’s concerns in detail below. Additionally, we <br />intend to continue this important dialogue with the community at the April 7, 2021 Planning Commission <br />meeting. <br /> <br />As background, following the December 14, 2020 Neighborhood Meeting, hosted by Boston Scientific, <br />residents set out specific concerns relating to the perceived increase in noise emissions and <br />underdeveloped landscape screening at the facility. Boston Scientific heard each concern and <br />implemented immediate measures to correct current conditions and alter expansion plans to address the <br />remainder of the issues to fulfill our neighbors’ requests. It was our understanding that all the proposed <br />changes, as well as the immediate remedial efforts, fully addressed the residents’ initial concerns. It was <br />not until the February 17, 2021 Arden Hill Residents’ Letter that Boston Scientific was made aware of the <br />perceived environmental concerns related to the expansion project. We have provided a detailed <br />response to each of these concerns below; however, we want to assure you; the City of Arden Hills; and <br />its’ residents that Boston Scientific is committed to achieving environmental excellence which it <br />demonstrates by the superior environmental track record maintained at this facility. <br /> <br /> Attachment F
