CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Ms. Roselia Jacobson~ 17601 Marmoset St. N.W. <br /> <br />Ms. Jacobson presented to the council a petition for street improvements in <br />Countryside Estates. She said 36 people signed the petition and 29 signed for <br />tarvia surfacing. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said the city had technically cut off any street improvements <br />this year, but will try to get it in this year anyhow because of cost increases <br />that will occur next year. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec instructed that this issue be placed under "New Business" on <br />the agenda. <br /> <br />Mr. Dennis Hanson, 15700 Dolomite Ave. N.W. <br /> <br />Mr. Hanson presented to the council a petition requesting that the city <br />buiiding code for minimum square footage per building per single dwelling <br />prior to June 1980 be reinstated. The petition was signed by 16 persons. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said the petition would have to be put on the next agenda for <br />September 8, 1980, Regular Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox said he thought it would be appropriate to put it on the next <br />agenda because of the P & Z Commission's reservations on this issue. He <br />said one of the things it questioned was the garage requirement. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schnelle said this issue originally came ~out o~ the <br />Economic Development Sub-Committee~and he felt that group and the P & Z <br />Commission ought to be represented at the meeting when it is discussed. <br /> <br />Councilman Sorteberg suggested the issue be taken up at a special council <br />meeting. <br /> <br />The council set a date for Tuesday, September 16, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. for a <br />Special Council Meeting on the minimum square footage requirement for housing <br />in Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mr. Lawrence Ahlbaum, 6821 - 136th Ave. N.W. <br /> <br />Mr. Ahlbaum said they knew nothing about the changing of the house size <br />requirement in the city and he asked why they weren't notified of this. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that an article was written on this by the press <br />and the city also put out public notices on it. <br /> <br />Mr. Ahlbaum expressed concern regarding the devaluat~n of their homes <br />when the smaller size houses go up in their area. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec said he has never seen a case where a house was devalued because <br />of smaller size houses nearby. <br /> <br />C/August26, 1980 <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
