By consensus, the agenda was approved as amended. 3. Public Comment Mayor Klausing called for public comment by members of the audience on any non- agenda items. A bench handout was provided, attached hereto and made a part thereof, consisting of two letters dated August 9, 2010 from Stonecrest Homeowners Association to Minnesota Pollution Control .Agency (MPCA) representatives related to the proposed asphalt plant. a. Walter Dziedzic, resident of NE Mpls., retired politician Mr. Dziedzic spoke in opposition to the proposed asphalt plant directly across the street from Gross Golf Course in NE Minneapolis and parallel to the fifth and sixth holes and greens. Mr. Dziedzic disputed the company's statements that the plant would not be odorous; and spoke in support of those expressing their oppo- sition, referencing arecently-distributed neighborhood flyer. Mr. Dziedzic opined that any such plan should be located in a rural, not urban, area; and suggested that a regional park would be more of an asset to the community; further opining that former Parks and Recreation Director Frank Rog, would certainly be more sup- portive of additional recreational activities and areas in the community. Mayor Klausing noted that this item is currently being reviewed by the MPCA based on a petition by a citizens group seeking an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the proposed plant, with preliminary public comment taken until August 11, 2010, and not coming before the City Council until that review by the MPCA had been completed and a recommendation set forth by their agen- cy. Mayor Klausing noted that there was a link on the City's website to the MPCA for additional information and comment.
