Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, August 23, 2010 <br />Page 14 <br />2) Current number of issues with adjacent communities and agencies that were <br />not originally factored in (e.g., U of MN; City of Mpls. Park Board; other ad- <br />jacent communities); <br />3) A lot more information is now available than before, due to the MPCA <br />processes; <br />4) It appears that a lot of original information was not accurate compared to most <br />recent documentation <br />Dick Click, 2099 Fairway Lane (home abuts first green at Midland Hills) <br />Mr. Click requested consideration of decreased property values in the affected <br />area, and offered data to staff from other properties affected when within a 1-2 <br />mile radius, and their specific references. Mr. Click noted available data regard- <br />ing noise tolerance within a 1 mile radius as well and impacts to surrounding <br />properties. <br />Ham Ramalingen, 2280 Acorn Road <br />Mr. Ramalingen expressed disappointment with MPCA staff available at recent <br />meetings to answer questions; and questioned their professional expertise and <br />their data sent back (e.g., noise decibel data). <br />Mr. Trudgeon advised that staff would also like to request authorization to speak <br />to the Air Emissions Permit comments as recommended by Mr. Neprash. <br />Further discussion included the EIS and Air Emission Permit processes and time <br />periods for comment; with Councilmembers concurring that the City should take <br />a leadership role in seeking additional information and/or clarification as indi- <br />cated. <br />Pust moved, Ihlan seconded, authorizing staff to write and submit a letter to the <br />MPCA requesting additional information and commenting on Bituminous Road- <br />ways EAW and Air Emissions Permit; and if indicated for formally request an <br />EIS. <br />Councilmember Ihlan spoke in support of the motion for staff to request an EIS, <br />opining the importance of such a request coming from the City, not simply a <br />compilation of citizen comments. <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Ihlan; Pust; Roe; and Johnson. <br />Nays: None. <br />Recess <br />Acting Mayor Johnson recessed the meeting at approximately 8:08 p.m. and reconvened at ap- <br />proximately 8:17 p.m. <br />13.
