From: Terry Lundby <br />To: Carlton. Zachary <br />Subject: [EXTERNAL] Pines at Elk River LLC Case No P 20-03 <br />Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2020 1:30:19 PM <br />Honorable members of the Planning Commission, <br />While I realize that the growth of Elk River is inevitable and for the good of all I do have <br />concerns with the Pines at Elk River LLC development proposal. <br />I live on the frontage of 5th Street NW. This street connects Twin Lakes Road via Line Ave. <br />with northbound Highway 169. <br />Since the re-routing of Line Ave and the denial of access to Main St. from Baldwin Av. <br />around 12 years ago, 5th Street NW. is the traffic bearing road of the area. <br />Fifth St. NW bears the traffic from Nowthen and eastern Elk River to and from northern 169. <br />In twenty years at this location I have seen and hear 5th St. turn into an acceleration lane for <br />teenagers driving modified pickups with extremely loud exhaust pipes to 60+ Boomers on <br />Motorcycles with extremely loud exhaust pipes. <br />My concern with this new development is increased traffic, the attendant danger from speeders <br />and the nuisance of pointless noise, up to 90 db. <br />Has the Planning Commission considered these issues in its deliberations? If so, has it any <br />plans to mitigate these issues? <br />My hope is that the Planning Commission will not only address my concerns but act positively <br />as well. <br />Sincerely, <br />Terry Lundby <br />520 Auburn Pl. Apt. B <br />Elk River, MN. 55330 <br />
