CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Wayne Olson, 5830 151 st Lane N.W. - advised that he was representing the following people who <br />reside on 151st Lane: Wayne & Jane Olson, John & Marilyn Haubrich, Jim & Sharon Green, and <br />Steve and Dawn Croteau. Mr. Olson stated that they were concerned about putting 14+ lots in <br />such a small area, noting that the lots on 151st Lane were 2.5 acres. He stated that 14 lots would <br />be a burden on the roads and traffic. He explained that they chose this area for the seclusion and <br />minimal traffic. He also noted concern about how the sewer and water were going to get to these <br />lot---whether they would go down 151st Lane, and he advised that they did not want to pay <br />another $50,000 to have City sewer and water come down their road. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained how Ramsey Elementary School will be getting sewer and <br />water, and suggested that the sewer would possibly be extended from the school and that the water <br />would possibly run along the eastern boundary of the site on the park easement. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson reiterated his group's desire for privacy and minimal traffic. He also stated that when <br />he purchased his property a year ago he specifically asked Zoning Administrator Frolik if sewer <br />and water would be coming down this street and if the particular parcel in question would be <br />developed, and he was told that in all likelihood it would be another 8-10 years. Mr. Olson <br />concluded that his group is not in opposition to the two 10-acre lots but are concerned about the <br />extra traffic involved with 14 lots. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer asked if the group had any objections assuming the sewer and water did not <br />affect their street and assuming that the other 60 acres that this developer has north of this property <br />has to have sewer and water. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson stated they have no objections to the 60 acres receiving sewer and water; they just do <br />not want 14 houses developed on this 20-acre parcel. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski inquired whether they could come to some compromise between 2 and 14 lots. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson stated he couldn't comment without seeing a plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski explained that the City is just trying to provide for some planning when sewer and <br />water becomes available in this area. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik advised that the people buying these 10-acre lots could still reap from their investment <br />by subdividing once sewer and water is available. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson stated that they would like to be kept informed of any future plans for subdivision, <br />adding that many of his group did not receive notification of tonight's public heating. He then <br />discussed with Ms. Frolik the process of notification. <br /> <br />Mr. Kleckner stated that Fox Development Co. owns only 50 acres. He explained that this project <br />is taking about 24 acres and they will have about 22 acres left to develop later on. He confirmed <br />that the other area will obviously be developed with sewer and water, but he could not see running <br />behind the school to connect sewer and water to 14 lots. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski affirmed that it would be brought in that way. Discussion then ensued around the <br />map regarding final platting the two lots adjacent to the existing development and leaving an outlot <br />for future development. <br /> <br />Mr. Olson felt the City was trying to preliminary plat a project that he didn't think would ever <br />happen. <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Planning Commission/October 4, 1994 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
