-32- <br /> <br />Associate Planner Wald stated they needed to shift the road to the north to allow for a public <br />street through the townhouse development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kociscak stated if they do not shift Riverdale Drive, they couldn't get a public <br />street through their property. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated they could have the same configuration by having the southern <br />most townhomes and they all would have an access out onto Riverdale Drive and it is something <br />they want to discourage. This way they only have two access points from all of the units to <br />Riverdale. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if these would be signaled. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated he did not think they needed to be signaled. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kociscak stated he lives in that area and the townhouse development would be <br />doubling the neighborhood even without the 1.8 acres being rezoned. He stated from the <br />residential standpoint, why would they want to cram twvelve more units in when they are already <br />doubling the size of the neighborhood and the second standpoint is this is the prime real estate in <br />Ramsey, so why would they want to rezone the prime real estate to accommodate twelve houses. <br />He stated the commercial property brings in more revenue than residential property. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />There was none. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Reeve, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, C°mmissioners Reeve, Brauer, and Kociscak. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Johnson and Watson. <br /> <br />The public hearing closed at 8:13 p.m. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt called the regular meeting of the Planning Commission back to order at 8:13 <br />p.m. <br /> <br />Cormnissioner Nixt stated he understands Commissioner Kociscak's concern but if the property <br />owner wants the rezoning, they should give him that fight. <br /> <br />Commissioner Reeve asked about the last sentence in the report stated "This property proposing <br />to be rezoned from B-1 Business to R-2 Medium Density Residential complies with the <br />Comprehensive Plan." He asked if the Comp. Plan states it will be R-2 all the way across. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/October 10, 2002 <br /> Page 6 of 20 <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I' <br />I <br />I <br />I: <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
