. Arden Hills Council 5 July 12, 1993 A representative of David Rushenberq, 3168 Shoreline Lane: I have a letter from the Rushenbergs to submit to Council. (The letter was read aloud and posed the questions of who is advocating this concept, what benefit it will provide to the neighborhood, who will pay for improvements, and how it will improve safety; and voiced concern as to potential for increased traffic, increased exposure to vandalism, etc. , and disturbance of a peaceful country-like atmosphere,) Tom LaNasa. 3153 Shoreline Lane: I echo the objections already expressed this evening by affected citizens. Bill Bachman, 3187 North Lexinqton: I have lived in this area for 49 years actively serving the community and raising a family. Our neighborhood is a well-protected environment. Warren Hanson has submitted to the City a plan for sewer extension that does not require what the City is proposing. I question why the City would force taxpayers to spend money needlessly, If the City pursues what is being proposed this evening, I will attack it though all avail abl e legal . avenues. I have fine neighbors that have been a close and harmonious neighborhood and we want to be left alone. Neither I nor Tony Andersen have any interest in developing . our property and if we did we might possibly have a different arrangement in mind than what the City has presented. I question whether the City is being honest with us and I wonder who stands to benefit from this proposal. Albert Hohmann, 3154 Shoreline Lane: I have lived in this neighborhood for 33 years and support the comments of all the previous speakers. One point that has not yet been made is that opening up Shoreline Lane would create more through traffic entering/exiting on either Edgewater Road or Lexington Avenue via West County Road D, Those approaches are already hazardous and steps should be taken to minimize the use of those approaches rather than intensify their use. Dennis Trooien. representinq the Bachman and Andersen properties: Warren Hanson's June 7, 1993 petition is only for sanitary sewer connection, not water connection, and he has suggested connecting to existing manholes which would not require the crossing of either the Bachman or Andersen properties. It should be assumed that when the City approved Warren Hanson's subdivision, attention was given to the availability of services to the lots created. It should . be noted that the concept presented this evening by the City Engineer and Planner showing a potential of nine lots in the study area is apparently the City's preferred concept plan, but is not a concept created or endorsed by Bachman,
