He noted he was concerned about noise and lighting. He added he was concerned about <br />a possible outdoor break room. He stated he was concerned about going from a 100-foot buffer to <br />a building 14 feet from his house. He noted the construction would take down everything that <br />buffers the property. <br /> <br />He added he was not against development. He distributed photographs. He stated that if they had <br />wanted to buy a home with lots of buildings around it, they would have stayed in St. Paul. He <br />noted he appreciated the time to speak. He added he was concerned about the ramp going down <br />next to his bedrooms. He stated he was willing to do whatever it takes to stop this project and get <br />it better negotiated. He noted he would rather not have it there at all. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked how high the trees were on the property. Mr. Ristow responded <br />they were 60 feet tall. He stated the trees inside the woods are 100 feet tall. He noted he was <br />concerned that the developer would be taking half of those trees down. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked if the trees currently block the sunshine. He stated the building <br />would provide more sunlight. Mr. Ristow responded are enough gaps in the trees to allow <br />sunlight. He stated they have a pool for the kids. He noted he would like to see an 8 foot fence <br />from the back of the site to very front. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson stated his goal is to have it as an office building from 8 to 5 on Monday through <br />Friday. He noted it is a light use project. He added they did submit a concept plan. He stated it <br />was always going to be a partial two-story structure. He noted the parking lot was 10 foot off the <br />north property line. He added it was moved to the south so there was room for some snow <br />storage on that side. <br /> <br />He stated there is a building across from Mr. Maguire that is two-stories and 37 feet tall. He <br />noted there are people on the second floor. He added they have already lost some privacy to the <br />west. He showed a view ofMr. Maguire's backyard. He stated Mr. Maguire has a large garage 24 <br />x 30 behind his home. He noted Mr. Maguire also has a dog kellllel and an icehouse back there. <br />He added they looked at a scalloped fence with a softer design. He slated they could not do that if <br />the fence was taller. <br /> <br />He noted he had asked his landscape architect about an 8ft fence. He noted the architect stated a <br />fence over six feet had a significant amount of engineering problems. He added there was more <br />area for the wind so they had to beef up the timber. He stated these fences are unattractive. He <br />noted the Landscape Architect thought that with the trees going in on the north side there should <br />be sufficient privacy. He added they are using River Birch trees, which are fast growing. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson explained that when he started the project two years, he met with all the neighbors. <br />He noted the former owner ofMr. Maguire's home met with him and was in favor of project. He <br />added the project has not changed except that the building has been pulled back 4 feet. He stated <br />his civil engineer told him that people have been dumping into the ditch. He noted the <br />neighborhood would have to find a new outlet for their yard waste. He added that on the east side <br />as well, people have been dumping timbers, clotheslines, and TV antellllas. He stated it was a <br />
