I would like to know the specific schedule of th <br />recycling operation. I have heard that there will be two periods of <br />activity approximately 10-14 days in length each. I would like to know <br />these dates so that I can monitor the activity. I am extremely concerned <br />about the trucking activities and associated noises at the site. My work <br />schedule begins at 7 a.m. in the morning and I greatly value the peace <br />and quiet that this neighborhood provides. I have numerous previous bad <br />experiences with trucks entering that site and dumping after 9 p.m. <br />Needless to say, I value my sleep and I am concerned that all the <br />activity at the site will adversely affect my previously quiet evenings <br />in the neighborhood. I am asking for assurances that this activity <br />(especially trucks dumping) will end at 5 or 6 p.m. at the very latest <br />Monday through Friday with no activity on the weekends. I absolutely <br />never expect to be awakened by these dump trucks after 9 p.m. or early <br />on weekends. <br /> <br />To give you an example of how bad the noise can get, I was walking my <br />dog one night on the cuI de sac at the end of Wagner nearest this site <br />when a dump truck dropped its load and the back gate of the dump truck <br />crashed back and forth so loud that my dog ran home from the noise. The <br />trucks can dump just up over the hill and the beeping from backing up <br />and the back gate of the trucks crashing closed can be extremly <br />annoying. <br /> <br />I really wish the Council would settle on an appropriate use of this <br />property. How about selling it to some real estate developers that will <br />put up some beautiful single family homes adjacent to the park and give <br />us current home owners a break! Ever since I have lived here, the area <br />has been an eye sore and since they dr~ined the area in front of my <br />house, we have more mosquitoes than ever and the trees are dying because <br />of excess water drained from the site and excessive soil erosion of the <br />artificial sound barrier that was created at the site. <br /> <br />As you can see, I have many concerns about the use of this property, <br />most of which have to do with maintaining my peaceful neighborhood. I <br />need the specific dates of this project so that I can monitor the <br />activity and be assured that the agreement on your end is held up. I <br />will ask the Roseville police to ticket any trucks dumping after the <br />Roseville noise curfew of 9 p.m. and before 10 a.m. on the weekends. I <br />think these are reasonable expectations, given the circumstances. I feel <br />that you would react the same if you had lived in my house for the past <br />12 years and loved the peace and quiet this very special neighborhood <br />provides! If you would prefer to address these concerns with me by <br />phone, I may be reached at Fairview University Hospital Pharmacy <br /> <br />Department at 612-273-6808, 1 <br />
