concerns of the neighbors. The building will match the club house exactly and it will not be an eye sore. He commented that all neighbors like having that golf course them. Bob, Morton Builders told about the construction of the building and what would be stored inside of it He stated that even just 50 feet away from the building, you will not hear any noise because it is acoustically sound. He added that the majority of the work will be done inside the building. After the building is complete, they will be landscaping to the tree line and he feels this will be one of the best landscaped buildings in Ramsey. Mr. Schmidt stated that the golf course people do not care. They will get away with what they can. He stated that the trees were not planned for there until he complained. He also commented on the clean up that the golf course has been asked to do that has never been done. Kent Lungstrom, 16740 Iodine Street N.W., Ramsey, stated that he lives on the north side of the course. He has listened to the argument of the need for this maintenance building from a safety standpoint. He stated that he has 15 and 17 year-old children and he would hate to have them taking that maintenance equipment across Highway #47. He expressed support for having the building on the same side as the course. Mr. Cook presented a tunnel theory. With regard to the building being soundproofed, he felt that unless the building is air conditioned, the doors will be open and there will be noise coming out of the building. He felt the golf course is making promises just to get their permit. If it were up to him, he would not issue them a permit because of their past record. Mr. Schmidt asked for a valuation impact to be done on his property and any one else's and, if compensation is due, the City or the golf course should compensate for loss of value. The City or the course should also pay for the Realtor's fees and the moving expenses for any resident who doesn't want to stay in the area because of this building. Mr. Cook stated that Council seems to be hurrying this along and he asked that time to taken to decide to do the fight thing. The golf course needs a building - the building is okay - the location is bad. He suggested sending this issue back to the Planning Commission for discussion to look at other locations and also consider the tunnel theory.
