Shirley Goerisch - 16444 St. Francis Blvd. N.W. - Inquired if all the additions will be built <br />by the same builder. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman - Replied that the City doesn't know who will be building the <br />homes; the City regulates the division of land into lots. <br /> <br />Shirley Goerisch - Stated that the building could slap up some homes and then get out of <br />town. <br /> <br />Mark Banwart stated that the City has a building inspection department that follows the <br />State building code to the letter. <br /> <br />Shirley Goerisch - Inquired as to the dollar value of the homes proposed to be built. <br /> <br />Mark Banwart replied that the homes would have to meet the minimum square footage <br />established in City Code; the home designs are individual choices. Per City Code, the <br />minimum square footage for a home is approximately 900 square feet. Ramsey is under <br />the dictate of Metro Council and if the City were to upgrade those standards, it would be <br />considered discrimination against affordable housing. <br /> <br />Bev Semanko - Inquired as to when a decision will be made regarding Trott Brook Ponds. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman replied that the Planning and Zoning Commission will be making a <br />recommendation to City Council. <br /> <br />Mark Banwart stated that the plat is scheduled to go to City Council on December 19, <br />1989. <br /> <br />Wayne Davis - Inquired if this property will be subject to the 4 in 40 density zoning if it is <br />not approved by January 1. <br /> <br />Mark Banwart replied that if the plat is not approved by January 1, it will be subject to 4 in <br />40 density zoning. Mr. Banwart noted that it is also possible that Metro Council could <br />revert the 4 in 40 zoning policy. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman stated that the landowner has rights to develop his land the same as <br />the person who developed the land existing residents are living on did; the developer is not <br />applying for anything illegal; a PUD is provided for in the City Code. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer referred to comments indicating that the City is rushing this plat <br />through and noted that the plat is being dealt with in the normal time frame. Commissioner <br />Deemer also noted that the 4 in 40 density policy has been dictated to the City by Metro <br />Council in return for the extension of sewer and water services to the City. <br /> <br />Dennis Strange - 8750 167th Lane - Stated that he is opposed to platting any lots in Ramsey <br />at less than 2.5 acres. <br /> <br />Bob Prunty ~ Stated that he knows the City needs development to keep the City going but it <br />should be accomplished with 2.5 acre lots versus 1.1 acre lots. <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing/December 5, 1989 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
