Steve Erhman 5680 Wellesley Mr. Erhman came to Council to thank the Mayor for getting the information out with regard to how many lots will be allowed on Forest Property. He thought it was unfair that those at Springvale get new pickle ball courts, while those living by the park have to We with the cell tower. He asked why the cell tower wouldn't be place at Springvale since they are "reaping" the benefits. Councilman Limpert added that the Administration assessed and proposed the location and what to do at the park, and what type of facilities can potentially go there; he also noted that Mr. Erhman's statement that the funding goes to Springvale is not accurate. Ms. Hemann also asked for the floor to speak to Mr. Erhman's comments on Springvale's improvements being paid for by the cell tower, noting that none of the funding from the cell tower is going to Springvale, and reiterating that the funding is going towards park Improvements. Mr. Erhman stated that he maintains his opinion. He then went on to express his opinion on the Master Plan and on the Save Our Storefronts project.
