Mike Norman, 8324 - 156th Lane N.W., Ramsey, felt that this year Ramsey is doing a <br />poor job of snowplowing its streets - the ice is five to six inches thick. He asked who he <br />should call to complain about it. He added that he had called about a water problem last <br />year and had not received satisfaction yet. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski replied that the City of Ramsey does not have a bare pavement policy and <br />added that the other area cities are experiencing the same type of ice/snow buildup. He <br />advised the residents to call when they encounter a slippery spot and the City will be out as <br />quickly as possible to sand the area. <br /> <br />Beth Mitchell, 8500 - 176th Lane N.W., Ramsey, suggested the City send a letter out to all <br />the parties being assessed telling them about the process to petition against. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin stated that an article could be placed in the Ramsey Resident detailing the <br />petition process for improvement projects. <br /> <br />Case g2: Introduce Proposed Ordinance Vacating a Portion of the <br /> Drainage and Utility Easements Located on Lot 3A, Block 3, <br /> Nature View Addition <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin closed the regular portion of the City Council meeting at 7:57 pan. in order <br />to conduct the public hearing. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin called the public hearing to order at 7:57 p.m. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that the owners of Lot 3 and Lot 3A, Block 3 of Nature <br />View Addition have requested the vacation of a portion of the currently dedicated drainage <br />easement crossing the lot. The purpose of the request is for the construction of a new <br />home. Upon reviewing the request, Mr. Jankowski found that the remaining drainage <br />easement should be sufficient for the requirements of the lot and subdivision. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Scott Simpson inquired how the DNR responded to the filling of the wetland. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski replied that the fill was done in 1989, prior to the Wetland Conservation <br />Act; therefore making it a permissible action. <br /> <br />Mr. Simpson inquired if them would be any digging or anything done. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski replied that there would be no digging or additional fill at this time. This <br />action is basically to release an encumbrance on an area already filled. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to close <br />the public heating. <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beahen, Beyer <br />and Peterson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />The public hearing adjourned at 8:00 p.m. <br /> <br />City Council/February 14, 1995 <br /> Page 11 of 20 <br /> <br /> <br />
