<br /> <br />Comment Response <br />My taxes are up 39.8% this year! We are on fixed incomes! I hope the city council will do <br />everything in its power to stop this proposed business park. This developer is proposing <br />to implement this development over an 18-year period. There is no one who can <br />anticipate all the problems this development will bring. The city will be mitigating <br />problems this business park brings for decades to come. Increased revenue from more <br />businesses and homes do not offset the cost of services that will be needed. City <br />council members, please tell me my city taxes are not going to go up next year and the <br />next, and the next… <br />Thank you for the comment. <br />11. Steve DeLapp, Lake Elmo Resident <br />Comment Response <br />I have some comments and a drawing that after 7 years on the Planning Commission, 2 <br />on the Planning Commission, 16 on the Council, 10 years on the County Planning <br />Commission, and 36 years as a City resident, I am convinced the people living within ½ <br />mile of this land will want and most benefit from the attached draft plan as a first <br />choice. The earlier proposal for tax exempted, 1 million s.f. warehouse with hundreds of <br />cars, low paid workers and semis is beyond belief. Who would move to wooded, 1 to 5 <br />acre lots to have a 24 hour a day trucking operation surrounded by an 8 foot high, barb <br />wire topped chain link fence and intense floodlights anywhere near them. Neither our <br />voters, our environment, or our taxpayers should be forced to accept something totally <br />inappropriate for a city once called the Orono of the East Metro by the Minneapolis <br />Tribune. <br />
