He added this project will significantly alleviate problems the area is experiencing presently.

He pointed out the letter he received from the City of notification of the public hearing did not refer to the extension of Woodale, and he felt it should have been clearly stated. Mayor Hankner stated it was not in the letter spe- cifically as they would have to list every little thing, as different items are important to different people. She pointed out no one had raised the issue at the time the notices were prepared and the Council was not aytare:pf the sentiments of the residents. She added the Council must live with the Comp Plan which was adopted by a previous Council. She again pointed out the numerous times the public has been informed of the proposal and discussions that have occurred which. • the residents could have participated in. She also agreed that the Council needs to discuss this further. Mr. Buckingham stated he had five concerns, the changes proposed for the wetland, the potential traffic in- crease, tax increment financing, he does not feel warehouse use is desirable, and he questioned the track record of Everest Development. Mr. Flatten requested an explanation of what insignifi- cant impact is for traffic, and requested a copy of the report. Mr. Nelson explained the study was done by Benshuff and Associatds, as part of a year long environmental impact study, in conjunction with Mounds View Business Park North., then they updated the study for the proposed south development. Mr. Nelson reviewed the statistics provided in the study. He also stated they made a commitment to the City and neighborhood to restrict truck traffic into the residential area with the project to the north, and there has not been a problem there. They will do whatever is possible to restrict traffic to the west with this proposed development, and they will also be managing the property after it is developed. Mayor Hankner stated this would be placed on the agenda for the next agenda session, and the Council would direct Staff to study the. Woodale extension issue and MSA, and get all the required information together, and they will also place it on the June 26 agenda for further discussion and possible action.
