In addition, the petitioner additionally agreed to erect a barrier to prevent runoff from reaching Lake Julian. Mr. Jacob stated that the proposed car wash property was previously a gas station which suffered a leak, resulting in cleanup by the Environmental Protection Agency. Mr. Jacob stated they found no reports of damage to Lake Julian. Mr. Jacob stated the proposed car wash would be a safe, beneficial addition to the Village.

      Nick Spallone, Car Wash Pro Designers, stated he understood the concerns of Mr. Miller and took extra measures to address them. Mr. Spallone explained the costly process that would be utilized by the car wash to ensure any spillage is not exposed to storm drainage.

      Trustee McAlpine stated she appreciated the business model but is concerned that this is not the best use of the property. Trustee McAlpine also stated she has concerns about the location and assurances that the substances used would remain marine-friendly.

      The petitioner, Nebojsa B. Depor, stated he was disappointed in how the process has unfolded concerning Mr. Miller and the Lake Julian property. Mr. Depor stated the primary concern has been environmental and they have addressed this. Mr. Depor stated a greater environmental threat to this property would be a gas station, which would not be required to go through the zoning process.

      Kristina Anderson, Lake Julian Trout Farm, stated the fish caught are used for consumption and is concerned about runoff from the proposed car wash.

      Dave Miller, Lake Julian Trout Farm, stated he is concerned about noise from the car wash negatively impacting the quiet nature of fishing. Mr. Miller stated the structure that contains Lake Julian's heavy equipment and chemicals is 1,000 feet away from the lake.
