Attached is the proposed schedule for the process. We are anticipating that the draft document will be ready for Council action to authorize distribution at the June 27, 2005 regular meeting. Meetings have been set up with the Environmental Board and AUAR Advisory Panel on June 7 and June 9, respectively for their review of the document. Comments received will be provided to the City Council. Hardwood Creek Development Site Planning for the development site has been suspended, for the most part, pending completion of the AUAR process. Following release of the DAUAR the development team would like to recommence neighborhood meetings for the purpose of gathering public input on the development design. There are no requirements within the AUAR process that would preclude these meetings from taking place. There has also been interest expressed by neighboring property owners to begin this dialogue. It is anticipated that the overall master plan for the site will be shaped by the public input and the AUAR and Mitigation plan. We are anticipating, following completion of the AUAR process, an application requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the site and rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD). Staff would like to discuss the process and council expectations for the development project review.

Noren letter of May 6, 2005 1 • • • May 6, 2005 Mayor John Bergeson Councilmember Donna Carlson Councilmember Caroline Dahl Councilmember Jeff Reinert Councilmember Dan Stoltz Community Development Director, Michael Grochala City Administrator, Gordon Heitke Chair, P& Z Board, Rob Rafferty Lino Lakes City Officials: We are the neighbor to the recently - constructed VFW on its east side. We are pleased to see that it has prospered, but feel the need to address a few issues. I will give you a little background as to what we face every day: The noise created by the fans is quite loud and will get louder once the air conditioning is running (a noise barrier would be appropriate); The parking lot on the north side of the building is rarely used. Instead, customers park on the south side of the building and on Lois Lane and create major safety problems (No Parking signs would be appropriate). It was understood that the paved area to the south of the building was intended to be a turn- around for drop off and delivery service, and would be curbed; There is much garbage laying around and blowing around into the neighborhood and beer bottles throw into our yard (an enclosure for the garbage cans would be appropriate). One issue that we have not yet had to face every day is the helicopter which they intend to install in their north parking lot and will be seen directly out our patio door. Having this helicopter is a great memorial to all who serve/have served for us and should be installed nearer to Lake Drive so that the public can enjoy it and we will not have to look at it every day out our patio. We appreciate your consideration of these issues. If you would like to contact us, please feel free to call or write. Bert and Deb Noren 785 Lois Lane Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (612) 766 -7410
