4. evaluate what has been collected and repeat any steps that need to be done; 5. Find the proper way to present the gathered data on the problem; 6. Present fairly all the gathered supporting material and your proposed resolution; 7. Expect that you will receive fair and impartial hearing and that the judgment rendered will be fair and honest: 8. Repeat these steps until a satisfactory conclusion, vote, action is reached. With this background in mind - here is the sequence of what I/we did up to the August 26th Council meeting. When the letter arrived from the City in the middle of April indicating that the Planning Commission was proposing the change of Zoning on the properties on the North side of Rivlyn Ave from Places to Work to E -1, I went to City hall to clearly understand the proposal. Sylvia Frolick clearly stated the details and related things about the Comprehensive Plan. I clearly asked if there was any other Zoning or way to deal with this. She again very politely but firmly said there were only the two (E or R). I then went to see City of Ramsey Attorney William Goodrich (he had worked with me on a previous legal matter with the city). I showed him the letter from the City, talk about my personal thoughts and a outline of possible ways of how to present them to the Planning Commission. He thought about the zoning, called Sylvia and spent several minutes discussing and understanding the Planning Commissions proposal in the letter I had just shown him. Mr. Goodrich then reexamined at my thoughts and made some suggested changes and some possible additions to include in how I could present my response(s) to the proposed Rezoning. He also suggested that it might be clearer to the City Council and Planning Commission if I gathered input from the neighbors on this issue before appearing and make the presentation. During these exchanges I again asked if he knew of any other way to deal with this or others zoning that might apply, but was also told that there were only these two choices for my property! I formed my ideas together and found that several other property owners were of the same thinking thinking as I was. So we formed a petition, based on the language from Mr. Goodrich, and then canvassed the owners of the properties effected (we talked to 7 of the 8 property owners). At many of these discussions people asked if we were being presented any other choices - and we had to respond the the staff and City Attorney said 0, that these were the only two. 1 and a neighbor then returned to City Hall and meet with Sylvia Frolick and Patrick Trudgeon to again redefine the issue and discuss were we were at in our response to the Rezoning proposal and how to proceed. We bother asked again if there was any other way to respond to the or any other Zoning that could apply to this proposed rezoning? Once again, they told us NO, there were only the two choices to pick from and /or accept. Based on this information, we retalked with the owners involved and as many of those on the South side of Rivlyn Ave. We collected the signatures of supporters on a petition and reminded those who chose not to sign of the date we would be submitting it and what they should do to clearly present there views. We then submitted our petition to the City Council, with guidance provided by Mr. Goodrich and staff (Sylvia Frolick and Patrick Trudgeon). Mayor Gamec brecciated the petition on behalf of the Council and directed staff to adjust the actions on the properties on the North side of Rivlyn Ave accordingly. The staff then pulled the rezone item from the Planning Commission meeting and scheduled a City Council Planning session to discuss the petition. The City Council held
