The Commission noted that streets were platted at a 60 foot fight-of-way rather than the required 66 feet. Mr. Peterson noted that he has developed in many metro communities and Ramsey is the only one that requires 66 feet street fight-of-way. Commission Deemer stated that he believes the sewer trunk is aligned along the east side of the wetland, within 100 yards of Chestnut Hills and suggested that the City Engineer review whether extending services to Chestnut Hills from that point would be a better alignment. Mr. Johnson stated that Mr. Bud Sauter is willing to provide easements for an access south of Hunter's Hill to Cty. Rd. 4/57; the problem area to be resolved is who will be responsible for street construction costs through the Sauter property. Mr. Banwart stated that the proposed park area and trails have been addressed by the Park Commission; the Commission does want to see an aggregate of the parks and trails for all three developments (Windemere Woods, Chestnut Hills and Cedar Hills).

With regard to Item 3, the Commission does not recommend granting variances to lot widths with the exception of those lots abutting the bike/pedestrian way.
