Motion, Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />Planning Commissioner Johnson had no comments at this <br />time. <br />PIIBLIC COMMENTS <br />City Administrator Bernhardson introduced the matter in <br />which Mr. William Wear was present to discuss with the <br />Council. He explained that Mr. Wear submitted a letter <br />to the Council dated July 7, 1987 regarding a gasoline <br />leakage onto his commercial property at 2160 W. Wayzata <br />Blvd. The purpose of Mr. Wear's letter is two -fold: <br />1)to put the Cities of Long Lake and Orono on notice <br />regarding the problem which was first noticed on April <br />1, 1987; and 2) to possibly look to the cities <br />support in applying for "superfund" money should it <br />become an issue in the future. <br />Mr. Wear stated there is a real problem in that the <br />gasoline is seeping onto his property and he has not <br />been able to remove it. He has contacted the PCA and has <br />had no response or assistance. As noted in his letter, <br />his gasoline tanks have been tested and found to be <br />sound and not leaking. He feels the leakage is coming <br />from southwesterly of his property. He stated the <br />gasoline is running downhill and will ultimately pass <br />through his property and end up in the lake. He also <br />noted that there are four 55 gallon drums marked <br />"Hazardous Waste" on his property that are apparently <br />from the initial April lst incident, which he has been <br />advised to remove and does not feel is his <br />responsibility. <br />City Administrator Benrhardson stated that staff has <br />also been inquiring into the P_ CA status with no update <br />as yet. <br />Mayor Grabek and Council directed staff to assist Mr. <br />Wear in this matter to the best of the City's ability as <br />soon as possible; and further recommended use of the <br />public media to assist. <br />
