0 May 4,1993 Mks of the City Council %Ms. Mary XUd11hW City Admin. City of lake Ikno Subject; Megal Business use at M Hill Trail No Dew Conudl Members: As a concerned neighbor of the subject I feel a couple of issues should be addressed during your review. Because Mr. Burgess is conducting his business in a residential area, he has and is causing dangerous conditions to the welfare of neighboth,00d childm * His solid fence is at a height dint blocks ttee view of onog vehicles. Children on bicycles art the corner at hill Trail & 501h st and on occasions have almost been hit by cars. * Mr Burgess test drives the vehicles he is hying to repair at a high rate of speed, around the neighborhood, is he covered by proper business Insurance? Who will be raspomsft when a child Is hurt? Mr. Burgess for having his fence too high or driving too fast? The City of lake Elmo for allowing this to exist with their M knowledge of the danger? or the council members as individuais7. No mattes who Is declared responsible a child will AM be hurt or "Ally not killed.I Besides this business being a potential danger, has the city given any thought to the potential of ground water pollution f m the oil and gasoline spills from the many vehicles that have been dismantled 7 Who will pay for new wells 7 Will the City be eligible for SPA fltnding being they have allowed this pollution source to exist and not stopped kt 7 I like most other neighbors also am concerned with the appearance of this business and potential decrease in our property values, but believe a greater concern should be on what legal responsibilities and ramifications the city may be leaving its self open to and possible legal expense I apologize for not signing this but do not want the retaliations I have heard others have received. Thank you for your time and motion regarding this matter. Yours , siocm* Y 111 Mi' � rl 1.� III 11
