City of Ramsey - Minutes Council Meeting - Augusl 11, 1975 Page Three Mr. Reimann moved that the request for a beer license from the Lions Club for August 22nd at the Ramsey School be denied on the grounds that the city ordinance prevents the sale of beer within 1,000 feet of school property. Mr. Mickelson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Riverside West Preliminary Plat: Engineer Fricke indicated that the plat proposal met all requirements of the city subdivision ordinance and had been approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission. It was noted that the Environmental Quality Council had been contacted because this property'is adjacent to the Mississippi River and Chairman Sorteberg supplied a letter received from the EQC. The question of dedicating park land was discussed and the owner indicated that two acres along the River would not be developed. There was discussion of the County park that is near this property. There was also a discussion of the relationship of the road system in the plat to existing crossovers in Trunk Highway #10. The question of removing a crossover was discussed and it was indicated that in cases where this had been done near the Tech Center some hardship for the adjacent properties occurred. The owner informally agreed that a scenic easement adjacent to the River would be given at the time that the final plat was approved. Mr. Gotham moved that the City Council accept Riverside West preliminary plat provided that a cash fee as provided in the Ordinance be paid in lieu of park dedication but further provided that a scenic easement adjacent to the river shall be provided by the owner at the time final plat approval is requested. Mrs. Oliphant seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Carson-Holm Plat: There was an informal discussion regarding the proposed plat in advance of a public hearing which has been set for August 20th to consider the rezoning necessary to conform with the proposed sketch plan. It was indicated that the necessary legal descriptions had been prepared for the rezoning publications. Some discussion was given to the possibility of dedication of land to the City for expansion of the shop and equip- ment building on the north side of existing municipal property. Mr. Carson indicated that he would discuss this matter with his partner and would be prepared to discuss it further with the Council at a later date. Rudy Peterson Proposed S.hopping Center: Mr. Peterson presented preliminary plans for a proposed shopping center on property across from the City Hall known as the Wildwood Estates plat area.

No action was taken on the matter.
