<br />Chairperson Levine summarized that the commissioners were not happy with the orientation of <br />the building. Would like to see more appealing, more appropriate design for what this property <br />is set for, make more appealing to the eye and not have the wall on Ramsey Boulevard. The <br />commission would like the plan to meet more of the Town C~nter guidelines. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated that items to look at would. be to move the comer building to the <br />middle, better screening of the parking spaces along Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated the plans will make more sense when they see them next <br />month. <br /> <br />Commissioners are looking forward to seeing the actual renderings. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy stated that in Ramsey Town Center, there have been several <br />applications that variances were given in order to make them work. He thinks that at some point <br />in time, they need to go back and look at the Town Center Zoning District and see if it is still <br />appropriate. If variances are given every time an application comes through, we are not fitting <br />what we envisioned. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated that her feeling is that it then becomes the plan of the developer <br />rather than the plan of the community. She continued that there was a plan and vision for the <br />Town Center and that plan needs to be maintained. <br /> <br />Case # 3: Public Hearing - Consider Ordinance to Amend Chapter 117. of City Code <br />Regarding the Required Depth of Topsoil; Case of City of Ramsey <br /> <br />Public Hearin2 . <br /> <br />Chairperson Levine called the public hearing to order at 7:50 p.m. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br />City Engineer Himmer presented the staff report. <br /> <br />CitiZen Input <br /> <br />There was none. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding when and how much soil would be needed for a one acre parcel.
