He <br />commented that the City ~a~ready has an ordinance for apartments, and there have been problems <br />associated with. those ap ,ar~ments. Now he is concerned that the City is trying to put apartments <br />among single family home[, bringing those problems into single family residential neighborhoods. <br /> Chairperson Bawden agre~ that he fears the City is making trouble for itself. He did not feel that <br /> the City needs to make aff~prdable housing in the R-1 Residential District when that is achieved in <br /> the R-3 Residential Distrie~ <br /> Mr. Reimann stated tha~ many people find Ramsey favorable because of its isolation. He <br /> suggested that if such an d, rdinance were to be passed there should be a limit as to the total number <br /> allowed in the city at any given time. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Hendrikser} reminded the Commission that there are provisions'in the City Code for <br /> duplexes.
