<br />TOM KOUGH COMMENTS <br />DECEMBER 6, 2004 <br /> <br />COMMENTS ON THE VALIDITY OF THE 2001 AUAR <br /> <br />1. MY JOB IS TO PROTECT THE WELFARE OF <br />CITIZENS - THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON THE <br />DEVELOPER. WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT <br />HARMFUL CHEMICALS AND TOXIC <br />MA TERIALS ARE IN THE TWIN LAKES AREA. <br />WE KNOW THERE ARE HAZARDOUS <br />MA TERIALS IN THIS AREA. THE <br />ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT OF 2001 IS OUT <br />OF DATE. <br /> <br />2. I DON'T AGREE WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S <br />OPINION THAT THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIAL <br />CHANGE TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. BIG <br />BOX WAS NOT ALLOWED WHEN THE COUNCIL <br />APPROVED THE 2001 CHANGE IN THE <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. <br /> <br />3. A RETAIL PROJECT OF THIS SIZE, WITH <br />ALL THE SURFACE PARKING, WILL <br />PRODUCE EXCESSIVE RUNOFF OF POLLUTED <br />LIQUIDS THAT WILL CONTAMINATE <br />LANGTON LAKE. <br />
