Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 29, 2010 Page 7 Lana Marks, 2123 Fairways Lane Ms. Marks, as a long -term employee of an infusion- related pharmaceutical company dealing with clients experiencing mtltiple respiratory issues, asked that the City Council consider businesses operating in the area that they may not even be aware of. Ms. Marks opined that, once an approval was granted, there would be no second chances to remove the negative impacts of odors and emissions being faced from the asphalt plant opera- tions. Ms. Marks noted that an aging population would only get sicker and sicker and impacts from such odors and emissions would only affect more people unless steps were taken to prevent and/or eliminate those negative impacts. Emma Jeanne Kydd, 2224 Eustice Street Ms. Kydd noted when she had purchased her property, the surrounding area was an office park, with no major highways adjacent to the property, while recognizing that things change. However, Ms. Kidd opined that an asphalt plant was not appropriate to the community of Roseville, specifically this area that served as the western gateway to the City of Roseville. Ms. Kydd noted potential negative impacts to sports activities, pede- strians and bicyclers, children playing outside in surrounding playgrounds; and possible additional unknown negative and cumulative implications from those already brought forward. Ms. Kydd also noted negative impacts to the broader area with golf courses, the University of Minnesota research plots, the Raptor Center, and the flyway for songbirds, in addition to honeybees. Ms. Kydd opined that an asphalt plant didn't belong in Rose- ville; and the treasured City of Roseville needed to be preserved. Ms. Kydd thanked eve ryone for their excellent, educational study of the issues; and commended staff and the City Council for that research; and asked that the City Council consider the broad impli- cations and dramatic impacts to Roseville residents by such a proposed use.
