Neighbors did not demonstrate a factual basis. Neighbors would like time to address. Requesting a 60-
day continuance 6/7/99-8/7/99.
Roger Olson: Busse Park. Major concerns are traffic related. Speed of traffic has increased. Amount
has increased. Wants assurance from City that traffic concerns and safety of residents is priority. Patrol
of traffic - Spring Lake Township on both sides of road. Who is responsible to pay. Speed limit signage.
One sign down. Others engulfed by weeds. Crossing Mushtown is very hazardous right now, and will
be unbearable with Park.
Shirita Bender: Blacktopping Revere Way. Sees a problem with parents late from games. CSAH 87
(Revere Way)/180th/Mushtown to sports complex. Concerned about road maintenance, dangers. Don't
want to pave road. Safety concerns with Mushtown traffic volume. Lights (a more minor issue) are a
major intrusion for rural area. Live about a mile away. Haven't received any notifications.
Teresa Bockey: April 12th first meeting. Athletic complex is not a park system. Noise, lights and
security are major issues. Outlined times of day, time of year. "Berm is not out of the
question.....Poplar/Pines possible......No money in the budget for expensive lights right away."
SECURITY - 10pm closing; will look into gates, City Administrator can post no alcohol. Plan has huge
impacts upon lifestyle. Has a written copy. How will it be used. Where are the commitments. Did not
want to put a plan in writing. Wants a plan in writing. Nothing has come from the meetings. Wants
agreed upon standards in writing. Has a plan from Apple Valley. Look at the 1996-1997 vision for City.
Doesn't talk about what City can do because it is legal.
Hidden Oaks Prooosal: Ryan Besserman - Picked recycling and how dirty parks are. Prior Lake parks
dirty in areas of horseshoe pits at Memorial; Ponds bathrooms dirty, pop bottles. May need people who
pick up parks. Savage - Adopt-a-Park. Also suggested school environmental class for one trimester
which could include an Adopt-a-Park as part of the class. City Park & Rec. Director to follow-up with
them.
Paul Schunemen: (High water) A lot of talk and nothing done. Markley Lake one scenario. Market
Place water comes from Savage into Prior Lake. Wants the ability to use the Lake. City has spent
money sand-bagging. Taxpayer dollars spent there. Maybe that money could be spent on outlet.
