Resident asks council for mature screening and clearer dust monitoring at rink project
Summary
Helen Brown told council that a large window on a new rink overlooks her yard and requested mature trees/hedges for immediate privacy and clearer ongoing dust monitoring after receiving a 628-page dust packet she says did not answer her questions.
Helen Brown, a resident at 10162 Plant Drive, told the City Council she was concerned that a large window on the ice rink project would overlook her driveway and home. Brown said she is not asking for small plantings that will take years to grow; she requested mature trees or hedging that provide immediate privacy and visual buffering between the facility and adjacent homes.
Brown also said she had requested the project's dust-monitoring reports and was given a 628-page packet that, in her view, did not contain the ongoing monitoring details she had asked for. She said she has observed dust on houses and cars and wants assurance that nightly watering or other dust-control measures will be performed as required.
Council did not make an immediate directive on the request during the meeting; Brown asked to be connected with the appropriate staff contact to discuss plantings and dust monitoring prior to installation of new landscaping.
