The residents further object to the proposed special assessments on the grounds that the basis for these proposed assessments do not meet the requirements ofM.S.A. chapter 429. We, the residents, have assimilated a great deal ofrelevant information that we will present to the Council at the ,January 10,2000 Public Meeting. We anticipate that tonight's meeting will be extremely lengthy. Because tonight's meeting is a public meeting, we assume that the Council will listen to all of our statements. As stated above, the residents will present relevant information on numerous topics. The information is too voluminous to incorporate into this letter. The information, however, provides the basis for our viewpoint and objections to the Council's proposed plans. All information presented at the January 10, 2000 meeting is incorporated into this letter to the Council by reference. For all of the reasons orally stated, and incorporated into this letter by reference, we believe the Council's current proposed project plans will cause irreversible damage to the environment and/or aesthetic look of the neighborhood; are not economically sound; and are not effective and, therefore, are not warranted. The residents hope that the Council will meet with and listen to the residents and look at alternative methods to achieve objectives. We will also be presenting a Request for Motion to postpone discussions about this project as well as all other future roadway projects until certain issues are addressed in writing by the Council and/or the staff of Arden Hills. So as not to inundate the Council with reams of copies of documents, we have limited the amount of documentation we intend to provide to the Council. However, if the Council wishes to receive copies of any of the reterence material, we ask that the Council contact Linda Swanson, 651/484-4433 who will ensure that the Council receives the requested material.
