-6- Mr. Frank Reese, architect, representing the applicant, indicated that the filters and tanks to be placed on the property for filtering the water before it would enter the lake, would have to be cleaned from time to time by the developer. The filters would be located on the developer's property. He stated that the filtering process would remove the oil and gas before the water entered the lake. Discussion One of the residents in the area questioned how a wood baffling system was going to cdilect the oil and gas from the water. Mr. Ed McCarty, 1894 County Road C-2, commented that the noise pollution in the area during the night hours was very bad especially during the summer when the windows of the homes are open. Mr. Harold McCarty indicated that the oil and grease from the truck lines has been going into the lake for many years and that it has created a very polluted situation. Mr. Ken Wessenburg, 1840 County Road C-2, indicated that he can hear every word said on the loud speakers used by the trucking firms during the nite. Mr. Kramer indicated that the City Engineering Department would recommend that there be an additional dedication of right-of-way on the north end of Prior Avenue for constructing a cuI de sac. He also recommended that a berm be placed around the filter tanks to pre~t them from spilling over and that the outflow to the lake be constructed to prevent erosion. Mr. Steve Walsh, 1984 County Road C-2, presented a petition to the Commission with 21 signatues opposing the proposed development. He felt that a much nicer industry CGuld be located in the area. Mr. Don Hewitt, 1794 Maple Lane, Chairman of the Fairview Heights Civic Association, asked the Commission to continue the application and ask the applicant to consider expanding the prea to be dedicated. Also to give more specific information on the means of filtering the water before it enters the lake. Mrs, Carol MacLean, on behalf of the Roseville League of Women Voters, presented a written statement to the Commission in which the League expressed their approval of the property to be dedicated to the City for open space purposes but voiced concern about the quality of the water which would be leaving the parking lots and draining into Langton Lake. Mr. Wally Greensten, representing Midwest Motor Express, supported the application. He stated that his trucking firm has no problem with the runoff of gas and oil, Mr. John Buckley, 1866 County Road C-2, commented that the dediation of the property for open space was certainly a good gesture. However, he opposed the project because of the pollution of the lake and noise pollution. If this development were approved, the pollution problems would be increased. Mr. Pikoski indicated that the option his firm has with the present owner, Ordway Truck, expires May 1, 1975, and he was not sure whether the option could be renewed. Mrs. Pat Johnson indicated that she would like to see a larger dedication of proper- ty to the City on the west side of the lake. Mrs. Carolyn Fisher, 2939 Mildred Drive, inquired if Hyman would consider dedicating a portion of the B-1 property running east to Fairview Avenue as an access to the open space. Mr. Pikoski indicated that they have not given that any consideration, Mr. Membrez stated that there appeared to be a lot of unanswered questions 0
