He questioned if the existing swamp will be left alone. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that the Council has no intention of moving any wetlands. <br /> <br />Mr. DeLong replied that if the City lets homes be constructed in the area, it will be trouble <br />because there have been times when the water table has been very high in that area. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that all drainage issues would have to be addressed prior to construction. <br /> <br />Mr. DeLong stated that if the extensions are installed, anyone wanting to go north would end up <br />driving through his neighborhood and for that reason he is against the connection to C.R #116. <br />He stated that if it becomes a problem for residents to turn onto the county roads then, a stoplight <br />could be installed at 153~d on Ramsey or Armstrong Boulevard. <br /> <br />Mayor Garnet replied that the first lights proposed are at the intersection of C.R. #116. <br /> <br />Mr. DeLong replied that it would be more of an advantage to place the lights at 153*a. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that when all the area is developed, there will be a need for <br />traffic signals at C.R. #116. <br /> <br />Mr. DeLong stated that he does not want to see anymore bad industrial businesses in the area. <br />Mayor Gamec replied that the issue will be addressed in the near future. <br /> <br />Keith Hovelson, 7454 149th Avenue NW, Ramsey, inquired if the swamp area is DNR protected. <br />City Engineer Jankowski reviewed what is DNR protected. <br /> <br />Mr. Hovelson questioned how the land can be developed if it is wetland. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that the development would occur around the wetlands. <br /> <br />Mr. Hovelson inquired as to the definition of medium density. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik replied six units per acre. <br /> <br />Terry Thatcher, 7950 - 149~' Lane NW, Ramsey, inquired as to how big a development will occur <br />in the area and what will keep the extension from turning into a speedway. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that the only decision being made is whether or not the residents want the <br />roads extended to C.R. #116 or not. The development will depend on the owner of the property. <br /> <br />City Council/February 22, 2000 <br /> Page 11 of 27 <br /> <br /> <br />
