interested in constructing a motocross speedway in the northern Metro area, <br />possibly Ramsey. Mr. Fults explained that the firm is not interested in <br />developing where they are not really wanted and inquired as to Council's <br />general feelings regarding a motocross speedway locating in Ramsey. Mr. <br />Fults stated that this firm is willing to pay 3/4 million for 100 acres <br />and development would involve another one or two million and that they have <br />recently developed a speedway in Inver Grove Heights. Mr. Fults stated <br />that the area he had in mind was industrial land along Hwy. #10 behind <br />Brook's Market. He further commented that a development of this type <br />would involve motels, hotels, camp sites, repair shops, motorcycle sales, <br />etc. Mr. Fults stated that he does have letter on file that address such <br />issues as racing schedules, curfews and noise factors. <br /> <br />Councilmember Reimann stated that he does not feel a development of this <br />type would be well received in Ramsey and Councilmember Van Wagner stated <br />that she is not in favor of the idea. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that Council would have to review more information than <br />what has just been presented, that Mr. Fults can pursue the matter if he <br />wishes and if there is a property owner in Ramsey interested in this type <br />of development, he can approach Council with his request. <br /> <br />Ken Peterson - 15407 Hematite - Stated that he owns 2 adjoining 1~ acre <br />parcels in Ramsey and requested Council's input should he decide to combine <br />those two lots into one parcel in order to receive one street assessment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Reimann stated that Mr. Peterson could combine the two lots, <br />that he would probably still receive two assessments and that it is to <br />Mr. Peterson's benefit to leave the parcel as two lots for purposes of <br />selling. <br /> <br />Mr. Schnelle suggested placing Mr. Kenneth Peterson on tonight's agenda <br />for further discussion and any action necessary. <br /> <br />Council placed Mr. Kenneth Peterson on the agenda as Case #6 under Council <br />Business. <br /> <br />City Engineer Raatikka stated that he has 3 items for discussion with <br />Council. <br /> <br />Council placed City Enginner Raatikka Items For Discussion under Mayor/ <br />Council Input. <br /> <br />APPROVAL OF AGENDA <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Reimann and seconded by Councilmember Van Wagner <br />to approve the agenda with the following additions: <br /> <br />Council Business - Case #5 - Ralph Dickenson <br />Council Business - Case #6 - Kenneth Peterson <br />Mayor/Council Input - City Engineer Raatikka Items For Discussion <br /> <br />Motion carried.
