Raatikka pointed this area out on the Ramsey map. <br /> <br />Erika Sitz - 6521 154th Lane - Brought up the subject of municipal wells <br />which would draw on private wells and the possibility of contamination from <br />landfill. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka replied that municipal wells and water would come into effect <br />simultaneously with municipal sewer and the County is considering wells <br />within a 2 mile radius of the landfill on a permit only basis. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he has talked with Mr. Renner, who is very well <br />versed in this area, and he feels that a municipal well in Ramsey should not <br />draw on private wells, but like anything else, there is always the possibility. <br /> <br />Susan Beale - 14851 Sunfish Lake Blvd. - Stated that she has also talked with <br />Mr. Renner regarding the problems with municipal wells and that he informed <br />her that there would be a problem with drawing on existing private wells. <br /> <br />Arnie Cox - How much will the landfill be assessed, and will that amount. <br />be equitable as compared to the assessment a lot adjacent to the landfill <br />will receive? <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka stated that it has not been determined how much the landfill <br />will be assessed, but it should be forced to pay it's fair share. <br /> <br />Mr. Cox replied that it would be appropriate for City Council to request the <br />County to remove Site P from their inventory of landfill sites. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired why Mr. Cox didn't accomplish this while he was serving <br />on the City Council, that there was a motion made by Councilmember Van Wagner <br />requesting the County to remove Site P, that failed for lack of a second, <br /> <br />Mr. Cox replied that at that time, the City had no prepared facts to back-up <br />the request, but now a study has been completed and it should be presented <br />to the County. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich replied that the subject study will be presented to the County <br />Board on February 22, 1983. <br /> <br />Mr. Cox then requested that Council have the County review the taxing policy <br />for those properties in the buffer zone of the landfill. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that he has talked to property owners within the buffer <br />zone and they don't want their valuation reviewed or changed at this time, <br />for selling purposes. <br /> <br />John Lichter - 14060 Fluorine - Stated that a variable REC charge should be <br />a feature of the ordinance, that the City should have the right to review <br />large water users and reassess if necessary. He further commented that on-site <br />sewer systems are adequate for a one unit dwelling on one acre. He also <br />stated that the average one acre lot in Blaine was assessed $25,000-$30,000 <br />for municipal utilities. Subdivision is an option, but most Ramsey residents <br />prefer to stay with a one acre lot. Assessments are not tax deductible <br />and the high interest rate should also be taken into consideration. <br /> <br />Sp C/February 8, 1983 <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
