May 18,2006 <br />Honorable Mayor Klausing <br />City of Roseville <br />RE: Letter in Support of Twin Lakes Crushing Permit <br />Mayor Klausing and Council Members, <br />� <br />���'�� � JI �r�•jl ;� � Li�� <br />J �� {� ��1 4J <br />We were once again amazed to read in the May 17,2006 Star Tribune North of activists attempts <br />to derail, delay and create roadblocks for the Twin Lakes redevelopment project by attempting to <br />create fear and scare residents into believing the proposed crushing operation will be a public <br />health threat. That is preposterous! Redevelopment of the underutilized truck terminals at <br />Cleveland Ave. and County Road C will be one of the best steps the city can tal{e to protect the <br />public health. The proposed crushing operation is just one small step in the larger redevelopment <br />process. Through the redevelopment process, significant environmental contamination will be <br />cleaned up and managed according to all applicable state rules and regulations – including the <br />proposed crushing operation. <br />The proposed reuse of concrete and asphalt on the site as road base and parking lot base is the <br />only wise, prudent, and environmentally sound action to take. It is unbelievable to us to think <br />the Council would even consider adding over 17,000 truck trips to our roads, filling the landfills <br />with 60,000 tons of valuable recyclable material, and adding enormous cost to an already <br />financially difficult project. Allowing the crushing of the recycle material on site is the right <br />decision. <br />We support the proposed application for an Interim Use Permit to allow crushing and ask that <br />you VOTE YES to approve the request. <br />Thank you, <br />� , � <br />� ' <br />� <br />Cal and Ann Ross <br />2189 St. Croix St. N <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />651-487-9210 <br />— � � � <br />
