He stated if it were removed he would have headlights in his backyard from the constant traffic.

Paul Fleck, Senior Engineer with Marathon-Stated he understands both sides of the issues. He stated they are willing to work with staff on anglirig the driveway to address residents concerns. He stated SA will install underground tanks for E85 but they wouldn't be using E85 until there is an approved UL labeling dispenser. Steve Rohlf, 12821 188th Avenue-Stated he supports the project. Mayor Klinzing closed the public hearing. Mr. Maurer stated he recommended no driveway accesses be allowed on 171 st Avenue. He stated it is not a good idea to allow the driveway because of the potential to cut across traffic in order to make a left turn onto TH 10. He suggested screening near the pond across the street in order to block headlights from homes. Councilmember Farber stated he would like to see screening added but also expressed concern with eliminating the driveway access at 171 st Avenue. He stated it would help to keep traffic off the residential road and most drivers will most likely be turning right onto TH10. Councilmember Motin stated the access should be allowed on 171 st Avenue. He stated he would like a condition added that when a UL dispenser is approved, an E85 pump must be installed.
