4. THE DEVELOPERS ARE ALSO CONSIDERING BUYING LOT "A" FOR THE FUTURE EXPANSION OF A INDOOR ICE HOCKEY ARENA.. WE BELIEVE TNIS WOULD BE AN ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY AND THEREFORE WE HAVE NO PROBLF_J'~ WFFH THIS. MY CONCERN HOWEVER, IS THAT ONCE THEY HAVE PURCHASED THIS LOT THEY WiLL BE ABLE TO DO ALMOST ANYTHING THEY WANT WITH IT. THEY COULD EVEN PUT iN ANOTHER BALLFIELD WHICH WOULD BE LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND MY HOME, AT MY PROPER'PC LINE. t ASK THE COUNCIL IF THEY CAN ASSURE ALPACA RESIDENTS AND MYSELF ESPECIALLY, THAT THIS SITUATION WILL NOT TAKE PLACE. 5. WE OF ALPACA ESTATES ARE CONCERNED THAT IF THE CONDmONAL USE PERMIT DOES NOT ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND DEAL WiTH THEM IN A REASONABLE MANNER, THE MARKET VALUE OF SURROUNDING PROPERTIES WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY DEVALUED. PLEASE ASK YOURSELVES t~lS THIS FAIR TO THE EXISTING RESIDENTS OF ALPACA ESTATES? WE ASK YOU CONSIDER THIS QUESTION IN ALL THE DECISIONS YOU WILL HAVE TO IV[A, KE CONCERING THIS MA'I'rER. IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS PROJECT AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY DO NOT WISH TO DISRUPT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND ARE SENSITIVE TO OUR CONCERNS. THEY CLAIM THEY WiLL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SOUND BARRIORS BY PUTTING SLATS THOUGH THE CHAINLINK FENCES AROUND THE BALLFIELDS AND TREES OR 4' BUSHES . HOW MANY OR WHERE WAS NOT DISCUSSED THEY STATED THAT NO OUTDOOR P.A. SYSTEM WiLL BE USED. AND ONLY CLASS 8 LIGHTING WILL BE USED TO AVOID AN ILLUMINATING. GLARE OVER OUR PROPERTY. THEY VOICED CONCERN ABOUT ALOCHOL RELATED PROBLEMS AND WILL BE USING PREVENTIVE MEASURES SUCH AS TAXI SERVICES. · - ALTHOUGH IN SPEAKING WITH THEM I FELT SOME RELIEF AND HOPE THAT THEIR INTENTIONS ARE SINCERF_ I FEEL THESE CONDITIONS NEED TO BE IN WRITING AND ASSURED BY THE CITY COUNCIL UNDER THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. SHOULD IT BE ISSUED. VVE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME Beverly and John Brekke 14275 Alpaca St. NW Ramse¥, MN 55303 421-5210 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
