He did not believe that 12 receiving a response to his letter dated June 4 at this meeting time provided him adequate time to 13 respond. Mr. Jones noted that Mr. Hubmer has stated that the City of St. Anthony is a fully developed community. He did not agree and noted all the vacant space at Apache Plaza and the unutilized 16 space in the community. He suggested that the statement that the bulk of the storm water that 17 drains into Silver Lake is pretreated is erroneous, a bold-faced lie. Only a small area of Apache 18 Plaza is treated. He noted that the map which was given to WSB did not even include the area of 19 the Salvation Army Camp. He stated there had to be capital improvements,just like those being 20 made to Silver Point Park and Central Park.

He 26 stated it is imperative that the Silver Lake Homeowners Association be asked for their comments 27 before the study was adopted and they were not. He suggested that everyone needs to work 28 together to obtain all opinions early in the planning and all will then buy into the solution. 29 Mayor Ranallo asked if the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing in regard to the 30 Water Resource Plan during the Comprehensive Plan Update process. 31 Commissioner Makowske stated he did not recall holding a special meeting on the Water .
