He proposed that the Council <br />20 send a letter to the MPCA before their public review arena comes to a close stating the City's <br />21 strong opposition to the plant due to the following reasons: <br />22 • The proposed location is too close to Gross Golf Course. <br />23 • There are two active cemeteries in close proximity to the proposed location. <br />24 • Northeast Diagonal runs through this area and will go through Roseville up to White Bear <br />25 Lake. <br />26 • The sound may travel and/or the potential odor associated with the factory. <br />27 <br />28 Consensus of the Council was to sign the opposition letter as proposed above by Mayor Faust. <br />29 <br />30 Mayor Faust noted if this moves further along the next step would likely be to adopt a resolution <br />31 stating the Council's position. <br />32 <br />33 VIII.
