Mounds View City Council Page Fifteen <br /> Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 <br /> Two scout groups housed out of Pinewood couldn't find a date or time <br /> to use buildings. Requests coming in already for use of space at <br /> Random. <br /> Gary Mann, 3009 Woodale Drive, stated major concern is in very secluded <br /> dead end area and the concern is traffic in the neighborhood. Mr. Mann <br /> asked about the area west of the proposed property if it is considered by <br /> the federal government as one of the hazardous waste sites is the pole <br /> yard and developing land for kids to use and abutting it to a hazardous <br /> waste area. Mr. Mann recalled that it is one of the top ten hazardous <br /> waste areas. Mann stated that a park is not good useage for this type of <br /> land. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that the land in question is not part of that area. <br /> The land affected is in Fridley and is a distance from that site. <br /> Mr. Mann the playground will not be built on the land but right up to it <br /> and it should be a concern that area residents were told not to use the <br /> wells because of the contamination from that yard. <br /> Councilmember Trude asked if a structure were to be built would there <br /> 4111 be soil borings. Mayor Linke said soil borings would be done. <br /> Mr. Mann stated that the property is virtually enclosed by woods. <br /> Mr. Mann stated that there has never been a comment by anyone who <br /> said that it should be rethought out. Would like to hear the <br /> Council say it would rethink this situation. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that there is a time constraint to work with <br /> regarding the grant. <br /> Doris Olson, 7200 Knollwood, stated that she has the only through <br /> yard from Knollwood to Woodale to H. Ms. Olson is opposed to the <br /> development of a—park in_that area.__ Ms. Olson stated_ that _everyone in <br /> the Woodale area of the proposed park is retired. There are <br /> approximately five children who would be using the park from that area. <br /> Larry Beach, 6951 Knollwood Drive, parked cars near Onan and Medtronic <br /> and the people who park on the street will park in the park and walk <br /> to work. <br /> Pete Hansen, 7075 Knollwood, stated his concern is that of traffic flow <br /> on Knollwood and Pleasantview and if he could get to the park on the <br /> other side of Silver Lake Road he would use that park. People that live <br /> near the proposed park would have to deal with people coming in to use <br /> the park. <br /> 4111 <br />
