Asked why upgrading the road being proposed should go through a wildlife (DNR protected lake) area. Opposes the manner in which Washington County Public Works Department is conducting this study. Feels they are not environmentally sensitive. Received a letter from WCPWD Octoberl4, 1997, which said they would be on her property October 20, 1997, and that they would take court action if not allowed on their land. Feels there has been strong-arm intimidation tactics. Asks the LE City Council to withdraw their support for this Environmental Study. Mayor John said the proposed study would include the no build is also part of the environmental assessment worksheet. It has not been discarded. In the absence of the work done so far, was only half a study, the full study will say what the impact will be. There are three other alternates. He said he always supports the no build option. Without the full study, the full impact will not be seen. Councilor DeLapp asked that it be noted that the Lake Elmo City Council did not support the $45M , the Mayor wrote a letter (not on City Letterhead). Mayor John said he wrote the letter, not from City of Lake Elmo. Councilor Hunt suggested that since the Highway 5 and Highway 36 intersection is adequate, why add another major intersection with Highway 36. Lake Ehno City Council Meeting 10/21/97 2
