-7- Mr. V. Johnson stated that he is troubled by the further encroachment of the trucking firms into the residential area, and felt there was a lack of information on the effects of the water runoff, amount of flow, and the general drainage situation, Mr, Kellett stated that he was primarily concerned with the effect on the environ- ment. He would like to see what the Rice Creek Watershed had to say about the pro- posed development. He stated he opposed the vacation of Mt. Ridge Road and would prefer that Mt. Ridge not be vacated until such time that it becomes necessary when there is a proposed development in the area. He also would like to see more of what is to be done not only to keep the lake as it is, but to improve it, Mr, G. Johnson stated he would be interested in more study on the construction of a berm between the trucking industry and the residences, Mrs, Cus~ing agreed with the other Commission members statements and said that she did not go along with all of the street vacations requested, She felt that she did not have enough information at this time to make a recommendation. Mr. Grauel indicated that if this application were approved, the extention of the trucking firms would undoubtedly intensify certain problems that already exist, Mr, Dahlgren stated that he felt it was very important that we all understand the significance of the dedication of the property around the lake. He stated that the opportunity to obtain this property is one that the City cannot affort to pass up. Mr. Hewitt indicated he did't feel the May 1 deadline should be of any concern. We have heard of the deadlines before on this property and they could always be extended, He stated one of the problems that residents have had with the trucking industry is in getting the details. Mr, Bill Muskie, realtor, representing both the seller, Ordway Trust, and the buyer, PIK Terminal, indicated that the May 1 date is a definite date for the end of the option.
