COUNCIL MEETING 2 26 September, 1967
Mr. Donald Brauer reiterated that at the time of the initial report, he felt
there was room for one land fill in Eden Prairie and the logical place for
it was an the Grill property. The Neil Lake area presented other aspects
which he felt would not be conducive to a good land fill operation.

development aspect along with the land fill which Mr. Ed Stowe was presenting.
Mr. Ed Stowe felt that the community should consider the over all picture.
Mr. Donald Brauer stated that he made a study only of the land fill operation
potential in the area, that a land fill could be conducted in the Neil Lake
area if the parties were willing to meet certain requirements that would be
set up by the Village and the State. He still felt that this was not the
best place for a land fill, that he had not done any study work on the over
all development of the area as presented by Mr. Ed Stowe as his requestvas
based on the land fill only.
Mr. Nethercutt from the Metropolitan Council stated that they were looking
in this total area for the possibility of a Hennepin County Park. The
Metropolitan Council did not have any funds for the purchase of land nor
could it acquire land for this purpose but could act as a coordinating
agency for other agencies who possibly could acquire the property and this
they were looking into.
Mr. Russell Marsh from the Mayor's Committee on the Anderson Lake Park read
some information to the group on land fills and copies were made available
for the Council and the record.
A motion was then made by Paul Redpath, seconded by Mayor Osterholt to deny
