Mr. ]-lartlev no, 'd that ir. thc process of detcrrninin~ whether or not to pi:it. ,nropeT. owners should also take into consideration the cfi'cc: platting will have on properly taxes. Dick Kimblcr - 6-'.21 Great': Valiex Road - Inquired ay: to how Me~o Cou'aci! ca,': dic:'att whm can and cannot be done: will the 4 in 40 zoning reverse the situation and make Bums property more valuable than Ramsev's because they will b~' :-'.b!c ~, nla~ a: 5 ac;re minimum iot sizes; people have made investments in property and what will thc tomt aff~z of 4 in 40 ',~u~s. zoning have on Ramsey propero. .... '~ Mr. Hartley [eplied that the Metro Council is the planning agency for the region and is supposed to set the standards for development and ~owth. Metre, Council also holds ~he purse strings to a lot of cities in that MWCC, a suborganizafion of Metro Counci'l. and PCA both agree that if a city's plans are not consistent with ix'Ietro Council, they the,,' will not approve the expansion of sanitau' sewer and utilities which are controlled bF' MWCC. With regard to property values in Ramsey versus Bums, property values before and after z in 40 zoning cannot be oetermined. It is believed that the efforts of City Council to conduc; good planning and provide for those public sen, ices makes Ramsey competitive v,'ith any other city in the metro area and therefore make it's property equally valuable. Air. Banv,'art noted that in Bums township there is no sanitar,, sewer and most likely never will ~ and so the leverage Metro Council can exert on them i's not there. Mr. Hartley stated that with regards to those persons that have invested in property, the City Council hopes they do well but it is not the Council's roie to fulfill those financial plans nor can the City make promises then or nov,' as to what the future holds. The City is going to do eyeD,thing it can to see that the 4 in 40 policy is changed and t:PJieves it will be. successful, but property holders should not bank on the City's success in that effort and make their decision based on it. Walter Scroggins - 15141 Sunfish Lake Blvd. - Stated that no developer will purchase land from prope, y owners in order to develop only 4 homes on every 40 acres; properly owners will be forced to sell their land for a 1/4 of it's worth.
