Requests coming in already for use of space at <br /> 8 Random. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Gary Mann, 3009 Woodale Drive, stated major concern is in very secluded <br /> 11 dead end area and the concern is traffic in the neighborhood. Mr. Mann <br /> 12 asked about the area west of the proposed property if it is considered by <br /> 13 the federal government as one of the hazardous waste sites is the pole <br /> 14 yard and developing land for kids to use and abutting it to a hazardous <br /> 15 waste area. Mr. Mann recalled that it is one of the top ten hazardous <br /> 16 waste areas. Mann stated that a park is not good useage for this type of <br /> 17 land. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Mayor Linke stated that the land in question is not part of that area. <br /> 20 The land affected is in Fridley and is a distance from that site. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Mr. Mann the playground will not be built on the land but right up to it <br /> 23 and it should be a concern that area residents were told not to use the <br /> 24 wells because of the contamination from that yard. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Councilmember Trude asked if a structure were to be built would there <br /> 27 be soil borings. Mayor Linke said soil borings would be done. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Mr. Mann stated that the property is virtually enclosed by woods. <br /> 30 Mr. Mann stated that there has never been a comment by anyone who <br /> 31 said that it should be rethought out. Would like to hear the <br /> 32 Council say it would rethink this situation. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Mayor Linke stated that there is a time constraint to work with <br /> 35 regarding the grant. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Doris Olson, 7200 Knollwood, stated that she has the only through <br /> 38 yard from Knollwood to Woodale to H. Ms. Olson is opposed to the <br /> 39 development of a park in that area. Ms. Olson stated that everyone in <br /> 40 the Woodale area of the proposed park is retired. There are <br /> 41 approximately five children who would be using the park from that area. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Larry Beach, 6951 Knollwood Drive, parked cars near Onan and Medtronic <br /> 44 and the people who park on the street will park in the park and walk <br /> 45 to work. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Pete Hansen, 7075 Knollwood, stated his concern is that of traffic flow <br /> 48 on Knollwood and Pleasantview and if he could get to the park on the <br /> 49 other side of Silver Lake Road he would use that park. People that live <br /> 50 near the proposed park would have to deal with people coming in to use <br /> 51 the park. <br /> 52 <br /> 53 <br /> 54 <br />
