If that permit is granted, Mr. Auel will be <br />legitimate; if it is not granted, enforce the ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Auel stated that there are lots of violations of the ordinance right in his <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that the City cannot selectively prosecute; everyone must <br />be made to comply and be treated equally. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Hei~an and seconded by Councilm~mber Schlueter directing that <br />the Zoning Ordinance be placed on the Council agenda for August 13 for Council <br />review and discussion. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Mr. Auel stated that there is a mix of blue and white <br />collar workers in Ramsey and there will always be a conflict. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

Gouncilm~mber Reimann suggested that the money be used to test <br />private wells in those area. <br /> <br />Mr. Berg stated that the problen is not with residential wells, it is with the <br />upper ground water which feeds into the lower reaches; that upper ground water <br />should be tested for contamination. <br /> <br />Motion by Gouncilmember Reimann and seconded by Mayor Heitman, for discussion, <br />to authorize the testing of ground water in the Flintwood Hills Second Addition <br />area and Barthel R~n River Acres. Further to authorize costs not to exceed <br />$2,500 which will allow for approximately four test wells. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmenber Cox irguired as to the City's course of <br />action when the information is received; the private wells should be tested <br />first and if there is contamination, proceed to the more costly action of <br />installing monitor wells. Councilm~mber COx noted that the ground water may be <br />contaminated as a result of it being a concentrated area and from lawn <br />fertilizer run-off. Mr. Berg stated that if there is contamination, municipal <br />services would have to be installed to correct the situation. A negative <br />findings on the testing would show the citizens that they better pay close <br />attention to their own wells and have th~m tested more often than they normally <br />would. <br /> July 9, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 15 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
