Desire the natural area to be left as It Is. <br />2. Poor fill already dumped in the park; request It be removed. <br />3. A valuable place to dump; requested re-negotiatlon of the <br />original proposal at more favorable terms for the Village. <br />4. The area Is beautiful and fascinating. There are only a few <br />acres left that provide natural habitat for waterfowl. <br />5. Desire preservation of our natura! environment. <br />6, Ordinance regulations prohibiting this type of land-fill should <br />be considered. <br />7. Improvement of other parks, such as Valentine Park, Is needed <br />first. It needs fill, and the water contractor should be <br />requested to remove his equipment and stock piles of dirt from <br />the park. <br />8. Many people enjoy the natural area 365 days a year. Ball fields <br />are used by only a few and foroniy a few months a year. <br />Opposed to destroying beautiful natural areas for ball fields. <br />9. How will requests for filling of other areas be handled If <br />this fll i is permitted? <br />10. Filling this area may affect other villages In the Rice Creak <br />Water Shed; therefore any disturbance of the natural water shed <br />Should be carefully considered to prevent flooding elsewhere. <br />II. Landfill Is lucrative, permitting this fill will set precedent <br />for future requests. <br /> <br />The fOllowing spoke In favor of the proposal; <br />Mr. Glen Beggln. 1818 Gramsie Road <br />Mr. Jerry McCauley, 1925 Jerrold Avenue <br />Miss Susan Covnick, Midwest Planning and Research, Inc., representing <br />Mr. Richard Schutz. . <br /> <br />Statements and Comments favoring the ~ro~osai: <br />I. Arden Hills has no ball fields or other developed recreation <br />areas for 13 to 18 year olds. <br />2~ Valentine Park Is not large enough for teen-age recreation and <br />must be Improved for use by younger chi Idren, before It can be <br />used. <br />3. Scho.ol facilities are not maintained in the summer and cannot <br />be privately maintained. <br />4. Surrounding villages provide parks tor ball teams, including <br />Arden Hills teams.

The proposed plan would direct the flow of water, not obstruct <br />It. . <br />7. The park Is not large enough, In ItseH, to retain waterfowl <br />and wild life when the surrounding acreage, not owned by the <br />.
