City Engineer Jankowski replied that he will be discussing the MSA system with the Public Works Committee, but noted that the City received a letter stating that speed bumps are not appropriate on MSA streets. He explained that the City needs to look at a plan to make the entire street more pedestrian friendly, but that it will take several elements. Ms. Ellingson inquired if Mr. Bulow plans to build an apartment complex and then sell it, how will the resident be assured that the apartments will not become a Iow income complex. Chairperson Anderson inquired if the residents were inferring that the water table problem might be increased because of the proposed development. Ms. Ellingson replied that it is their concern because Dysprosium Street floods easy. City Engineer Jankowsld stated that he is not aware of any flooding problems on Dysprosium Street and would like what segment of Dysprosium Street the residents are referring to and under what conditions.

Jennifer ?, 142"a Avenue NW, Ramsey, questioned what is going to happen with the intersection of 142"a Avenue and T.H. #47.

Jennifer ?i t 42"a Avenue NW, Ramsey stated that cars speed-up Argon to get 142na Avenue and that the City is not solving any problems by adding more people to area.
