Ramsey has previously <br />entered into a contract with Hakanson/Anderson which includes the cost of <br />zoning work; it is a matter of determining which approach to zoning should be <br />used. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg directing <br />City Staff to proceed with the development of draft zoning ordinances according <br />to the authority granted in Minnesota Statute 360.063, Subdivision 1. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Sorteberg, Cox, <br />Schlueter and DeLuca. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />MAYOR AND COUNCIL INPUT <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />Councilmember $chlueter stated that she has received a call from a resident <br />stating his concern with an abandoned home on 175th and Unicorn, with the <br />wide variety of home values in that particular area, with builders <br />continuing to build homes of much lesser value than what seems to be <br />established for that area, and the devaluation to property if these things <br />continue. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that the citizen can contact City Staff regarding the <br />abandoned home and action can be taken, especially if there is a safety <br />hazard. The City can't do anything to control home size and value in a <br />subdivision as long as it meets minimum code and there are no restrictive <br />covenances for that particular subdivision. <br /> <br />Councilmember Schlueter stated that the resident also has concerns with a <br />home being built on 175th Lane; that work on the home appears to have <br />stopped and shingles have not been applied to the roof. <br /> <br />c) <br /> <br />Councilmember Sorteberg stated that the City cannot take action until the <br />work stoppage has existed for 6 months. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann noted that Mr. Scott Springer's application for a <br /> City Council/November 25, 1986 <br /> <br />Page 16 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
