PUBLIC HEARING <br />PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> ANOKA COUNTY <br /> STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on Tuesday, March 3, <br />1993 at the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W., Ramsey, Minnesota to <br />hear input regarding a request for preliminary plat approval of Amber Ridge; case of Creek-view <br />Crossing Partnership. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Chairperson David Bawden <br />Commissioner Benjamin Deemer <br />Commissioner Terry Hendriksen <br />Commissioner Paul Holland <br />Commissioner Charles LaDue <br />Commissioner Michael Terry <br />Commissioner Bradley Thorud <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Sylvia Fmlik <br />City Engineer Steven Jankowski <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Chairperson Bawden called the public hearing to order at 7:38 p.m. <br /> <br />PRESENTATION <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik stated Creekview Crossing Partnership is requesting preliminary plat <br />approval of Amber Ridge which consists of approximately 61 acres proposed to be developed with <br />approximately 123 single family urban residential lots. She added that the wetlands involved in <br />this property are proposed to be impacted. She stated that park dedication consists of pedestrian <br />walkways running north and south through the plat to connect with existing park areas in the <br />district. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that Amber Ridge is adjacent to River's Bend and Gorham's <br />Sandy Acre Estates, and it was determined that it was best to leave an ouflot to the south of the plat <br />to connect with Trunk Highway g47 in the future, either when T.H. g47 is redone or when the <br />parcel immediately to the south is subdivided. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik added that the property is currently zoned multi-family and commercial and needs to be <br />rezoned. That issue will be taken at the public hearing following this one. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Bob Georges, 5164 - 147th Lane N.W. - stated that single family zoning is most desirable, <br />however he is concerned about 148th Circle N.W. connecting onto Trunk Highway #47. He <br />stated that to put another access onto T.H. g47 one block from 149th Avenue N.W. is incredibly <br />dangerous. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that the subdivision plat has been submitted to MnDOT, and he <br />awaits their comments. He explained that 149th Avenue N.W. aligns where the City anticipates <br />connecting it with Sunfish Lake Drive, an east-west collector street, all the way from T.H. g47 to <br />County Road gl 16. He added that site distances need to be checked for safety, and he expects <br />MnDOT to comment on that. <br /> Public Hearing/Planning & Zoning Commission/March 2, 1993 <br /> Page 1 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
