<br /> <br />7. Ann Bucheck, Lake Elmo Resident <br />Comment Response <br />I urge the city council to vote for Development Scenario 4. This land uses includes <br />agricultural, rural residential, public works, and business park. This scenario is the only <br />scenario that is consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. It protects the <br />existing neighborhoods from the more intense development patterns contemplated in <br />the other scenarios. The trip generation forecast is the lowest and will have the least <br />congestion impact on the affected roads and will be the least costly in t erms of <br />roadways. Although not addressed, water supply to this area may be affected by the <br />decisions regarding allowance of water supply to any lands within five miles of White <br />Bear Lake. This area is clearly within the five-mile radius and the need for water supply <br />is of paramount importance. It is also unfortunate the AUAR does not show the buried <br />pipelines nor the energy lines that will have an impact on any proposed scenario. The <br />future land use plan as shown in the comprehensive plan continues to be the best plan <br />at this time and should not be changed. Please vote for scenario 4. <br />Thank you for the comment. Private utilities will <br />be located as development occurs and any <br />potential conflicts will be identified. <br />8. Ben and Breanna Pepin, Lake Elmo Residents <br />Comment Response <br />We are writing to provide feedback to you on the Cyphers Logistic Park draft AUAR per <br />direction on the Lake Elmo website. Our preference for this area would be that it <br />remains as open as possible, which would ideally mean maintaining it as agricultural <br />land and the public works building. We would prefer there to be no business or <br />residential development in this space. However, if the only path forward is one of the 4 <br />proposed development plans, we would be in favor of the one that develops this space <br />the least and maintains the open and green spaces that exist today, which would <br />appear to be development scenario 4 (agriculture and rural residential). <br />Please keep us updated if there will be specific meetings/sessions where this land use is <br />discussed. <br />Thank you for the comment.
