He stated they basically came up with the <br />conclusion to keep everything the same but grow, which is an impossibility. He explained he <br />owns over 120 acres in the northwest corner of Ramsey which is proposed to be in "4 in 40." He <br />opposes this as 'permanent' development. He stated that between him and the adjacent <br />neighboring farm they own 200 acres with only 100 developable. The next adjacent 200 acres <br />are all non-developable. Taking all 400 acres, only 1 (2½-acre lot) in 10 (acres) would be <br />developable. He therefore requested that this area be opened up to 2½-acre lots. Mr. Enstrom <br />also mentioned that C.R. #64 should be addressed as it may become the 'freeway' on the north <br />side of town with the greatly increasing development of Elk River and Bums Township." <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Planning Commission/December 3, 1998 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
