John Clawson, State Representative, said he voted against the Metro Council <br />Land Planning Act. He said a significant portion of his area lies outside <br />of the City of Ramsey. Nobody's an island and neither is the metro area an <br />island and they need to work together with the outstate areas. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox said the original lot size (5 acres) is regressive planning <br />because of putting larger size lots in areas with smaller size lots. <br /> <br />Metro Council Chairman Weaver said the basic principle is that the Metro <br />Council is trying to assist the local governments to come up with a good <br />Comprehensive Plan and he thought the structure is working quite well. <br /> <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> <br />Motion by Councilman Sorteberg and seconded by Councilman Cox to approve <br />the minutes for the Special Council Meeting of August 15, 1980. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
