2. Page 25 includes conflicting statements: <br /> Under "Mitigation Measures": <br /> "The primary mitigation strategy to minimize impacts to homes and businesses is avoidance <br /> through routing. No additional mitigation is proposed." <br /> Then in the 4th paragraph under the same heading I read, <br /> "Xcel Energy has stated it intends to minimize vegetation clearing to the extent possible and to <br /> work with landowners to identify visual concerns related to the project and to develop suitable <br /> mitigation measures." <br /> I need to know which it is to be? In verbal discussions with Mr. Chris Rogers, mitigations which <br /> include berms and tree plantings to mitigate both visual (new 90' monopole) and noise (corona <br /> crackle) impacts have been discussed. <br /> Specifically, my wife (Carla Schoon) and myself have requested planting of approximately <br /> twenty (20) 15' trees on the North side of our property to mitigate visual and noise impacts to <br /> our home at 994 Hunt Farm Road. I realize the specifics of this discussion would be implicated <br /> in the easement negotiation for the "swing" area over our property, but still request that the <br /> wording on page 25 be brought into agreement with itself. <br /> Thank you for considering our questions. <br /> Peter & Carla Schoon <br /> 994 Hunt Farm Road <br /> Orono, MN USA 55356-9325 <br /> 952 745-1111 x115 <br /> 952 473-0260 (Fax) <br /> No virus found in this message. <br /> Checked by AVG - www.avg.com <br /> Version: 10.0.1411 / Virus Database: 2102/4058 - Release Date: 12/05/11 <br /> 2 <br />
