Mayor Gamec said the council is going to have to discuss this issue further. <br />Mr. Jeff Lamson, 4943 - 178th Lane N.W. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson asked how the roads are going to be taxed if they are upgraded. <br />Councilman Cox said there is no tax on roads. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said the only thing that happens is that the paved road improves <br />the value of the homes, but blacktopping doesn't affect the owner's taxes. <br />Normal maintenance is covered under General Maintenance Fund. <br /> <br />Mr. Easley asked when construction would start. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said construction would start approximately at the end of July <br />or the first of August, 1980. <br /> <br />Mr. Easley asked when the assessment would be added. <br /> <br />City Assessor Wirz said the assessment would be added the first of 1981. <br /> <br />Mr. William Gamble, 17911 Yakima Street <br /> <br />Mr. Gamble said he lives on the corner of Yakima and County Road #7. <br />He said he has been trying for the last several years to get the County to do <br />something about the traffic on County Road #7. He said his main concern <br />is that he lives right next to a stop sign where people move out <br />and peel rubber and he felt the County can't control the speeding. He said <br />he moved out to Ramsey thinking he was going to have peace and quiet, but <br />he is on a dragstrip instead. He wanted to know who the mysterious people <br />were who cut down his trees. Neither the city nor the County would admit to <br />cutting down the trees. He felt the city has been planning this project a <br />long time when they started cutting down the trees. <br /> <br />Ms. Mary Nelson, 4960 - 177th Lane N.W. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson said she is concerned about all the wet land, ponds and lakes. <br />She asked if there has been any environmental impact studies on this project. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said he didn't think so, but it is one of the few things that <br />hasn't. <br /> <br />Mr. Easley noted there will be much more slip rate with blacktop than with <br />dirt roads as far as speeders are concerned. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said in regards to the speeding problem, residents should get <br />their license numbers and notify the police. <br /> <br />Ms. Judy Swanson,'4931 - 179th Avenue N.W. <br /> <br />Ms. Swanson said she is opposed to the project for a number of reasons. <br />She said she moved out to Ramsey for some peace and quiet and she felt <br />the race track atmosphere would be improved with the paving. She said <br />a car could run into children who can't be seen over the hills and curves. <br />She asked if snowmobiles were allowed to travel on tarvia. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br />June 16, 1980 <br /> Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
