Mr. Gray commented there are a lot of residents whose properties are not amenable to develop. <br />He asked that these properties be excluded from the zoning. <br />Mayor Ramsey explained if property is not durable for development, it would not be developed. <br />However, if neighboring property is feasible, it could be developed. <br />Phil Lattero, 17540 Nowthen Boulevard, said he did not know about this issue until a couple of <br />weeks ago. He expressed concern regarding his property taxes and said he was pleased to hear <br />the information presented tonight. <br />Motion by Mayor Ramsey, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to introduce an Ordinance to <br />amend Section 117 -90 "Map" of Chapter 117 of the Ramsey City Code related to the 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />Motion carried.
