The plaintiff alleges the city failed to conduct <br />proper envirozunental review as required under the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act. The <br />plaintiff alleges the city's negative declaration was arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable, and <br />unlawful as the proposed project will have detrimental effects to the health, safety and general <br />welfare of the community, living within the vicinity of the proposed project, and because the <br />project will damage, pollute, and degrade the environment. Further, they allege the city failed to <br />enforce existing laws and regulations of both its Shoreland Ordinance and state law.
