Mr. Raatikka replied that the right-of-way being acquired allows for that <br />trail corridor; EQB has reviewed reviewed and approved the Front Street <br />improvements, taking into consideration the future plans for a trail <br />corridor. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox suggested that Mr. Raatikka obtain written confirmation <br />from ~QB that the right-of-way being acquired for the Front Street project <br />will also acco~m~0date any future develot~nent of a trail corridor. <br /> <br />Angela Coffin - 6336 Highway ~10 N. Wo - Stated that she located her <br />business in Ramsey about 2 years ago; since then, her property is being <br />included in street, sewer and water and storm sewer improvements and now a <br />trail corridor. The things that are happening are the same things that <br />forced her to relocate from Brooklyn Center to Ramsey and the Front Street <br />project is too much cost for no real benefit. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox replied that the City is trying to provide for safe <br />access onto Hwy. #10; the affect of those improvements on property owners <br />could have been avoided if these plans were laid out years ago. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich noted that City Council cannot act on this project at this <br />time because the City Charter allows 60 days from the date of the public <br />hearing for citizens to petition against the project; a sufficient petition <br />would require signatures of at least 51% of the property owners proposed <br />to be assessed. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka noted that the Front Street through route has different names <br />in different sections: Front Street, 138th Avenue and Riverdale Road; it <br />is recommended that this through street have a common name. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann suggested that the City Engineer obtain input from property <br />owners regarding a common name for the Front Street route. <br /> <br />Ed Hamilton - 6615 Highway #10 N.W. - Suggested that the Police and Fire <br />Department be consulted regarding a workable common name for the Front <br />Street route. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Sorteberg and seconded by Councilmember Cox 'to <br />adjourn the public hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reink3nn, Councilmembers Sorteberg, Cox, <br />DeLuca and Pearson. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />The public hearing adjourned at 9:14 p.m. <br />Resuectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Sylvia Frol il( <br />Secretary <br /> <br />David Hartley <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />City Council Public Hearing/April 26, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
