-124- <br /> <br />Sue Brown, 71~00 159m Lane NW, Ramsey, inquired if the cul-de-sac woUld be large enough for <br />a bus to turn around. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the cul-de-sac has a paved radius of 45 feet, which is not <br />adequate for a bus to turn around. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt inquired if there was a need to have a bus to go into the cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the Anoka Hennepin School District policy is that they do <br />not send busses down a cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Ms. Brown stated that currently her children have to walk down to C.R. #56 and she hoped that if <br />there was a way for the bus to turn around they could move the bus stop closer. She inquired if <br />the wetlands will be protected even if other people purchase the land. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that the wetlands are protected by the DNR. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Johnson¢ Brauer, Kociscak, and <br />Reeve. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Watson. <br /> <br />The public heating closed at 7:45 p.m. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt called the regular meeting of the Planning Commission back to order at 7:45 <br />p.m. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated that he was concerned by Lot 1. He thought that bringing in eight feet of <br />fill was too much. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that he had no doubt that the soil could be engineered, to support <br />the structure. He explained that the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (WMO) <br />will look at the low elevation in relationship to the flood evaluation. If they have the lower floor <br />of the building one-foot higher than C.R. #56 they will probably meet the Lower Rum River <br />WMO requirements. <br /> <br />Mr. Abel noted that they could build the home closer to C.R. #56 on Lot 1 and that would not <br />require the fill, but the applicant would like to market the lot with the remote site. <br /> <br />Mr. Paumen reviewed the location of the proposed building site and the alternative building site. <br />He stated that he could understand the concern of bringing in eight feet of fill on'a standard urban <br />lot, but on an 8-acre lot with four acres of high ground it is not a large concern. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/September 5, 2002 <br /> Page 6 of 16 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
