They believed it was an appropriate use for the location. Mr. Clark stated Mr. Hellegers had received an email dated February 5, 2005 from Bob May, 1871 Todd Drive, Arden Hills, 651-330-6188 stating: "Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the hearing tonight on project pc#05-04 but wish to make known my concerns, If a service station/convenience store/car wash is built at the location indicated on tbe map, it will be directly across highway 96 from my home in Arden Manor mobile home park. I am very concerned about the lights and noise emanating from such a business. Is there any discussion to erect a sound barrier on the north side of highway 96 from I-35W to highway 10 (or at least to the entrance into Arden Manor)? Also, would access to the facility be directly from highway 96 or from Round Lake Boulevard, which would then funnel onto highway 96 at the traffic light? Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my thoughts". Mr. Clark stated staff had received a handwritten note dated May 20, 2005 from Bill Stuart, 1676 Braebery Lane, stating: "Looks good to me". Commissioner Thompson asked if they had done any further evaluation of the size of the landscaping.
