As a resident of St. Anthony since 1961, I am opposed to the proposed <br />application for a car wash at 2701 Kenzie Terrace. <br /> <br />Annually you ask residents ‘conserve precious water resources’ and imposed permanent water restrictions (Resolution <br />17-032), yet we are looking to approve a car wash that washes vehicles using a fair amount of water. The City for many <br />years has implemented a water conservation plan for commercial and residential usage. Not just within St. Anthony but <br />nationwide, we all play a role in conserving water and being responsible water consumers. In addition, by reducing water <br />consumption, it diverts harmful agents from our groundwater, rivers, and wastewater treatment systems. We need to <br />examine the impact of water usage on our City, if we consider approximately 35 gallons per vehicle, and we heard at the <br />January 26 meeting, they are proposing an average 100 cars a day — that is 3,500 gallons a day, 105,000 gallons per <br />month, or 1.26 million gallons per year of water consumption and sewer usage. <br /> <br />Please consider the long term effects this proposed development will have on the residents of St. Anthony, we ask that <br />you deny the CUP application for a car wash. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Marlene Tessier <br />2917 32nd Avenue NE <br />Minneapolis, MN 55418 <br /> <br /> <br />229
