"The parking lot in Flintwood 5 would cause a runnoff problem in my yard." <br /> <br /> '2. The new development would eliminate this natural drain <br /> and necessitate construction of a new drainage system. <br /> <br /> 3. Construction of this drainage system would destroy many <br /> beautiful, mature trees. <br /> <br /> D. High traffic through street right through the development.' <br />"You saw what happened when you wanted to reroute Hwy. #47." <br /> <br /> 'II. The plan should also be unacceptable to the city, as well as <br /> Flintwood I residents. <br /> <br /> A. For the reasons mentioned earlier. <br /> <br /> B. Traffic problems caused by population density which is too <br /> high for reasonably constructed and located roads. <br /> <br /> 1. 355 housing units means about 1000 people concentrated in <br /> approximately 50 acres (600-700 cars). <br /> <br /> a. 10% of present Ramsey population living on less than <br /> .25% of Ramsey land. <br /> <br /> 2. Ramsey's present population density is approximately .5 <br /> people/acre. <br /> <br /> 3. Stoplights and wider existing streets would be necessary. <br /> <br /> C. Through street cannot be constructed without causi~.g a <br /> traffic problem on Highway 5 or Highway 47. <br /> <br /> D. The concentration of low cost multi-family dwellings may not <br /> be attractive at the entrance to our city. <br /> <br /> III. Alternatives in order of decreasing desirability by Flintwood I <br /> residents. <br /> <br /> A. Develop similar to Flintwood I (i.e. 1 acre lots). <br /> <br /> B. Develop with single family homes on 1/2 acre lots. <br /> <br /> If even further population density is required, develop with <br /> signel family homes adjacent to Flintwood I and a small <br /> number of multi-family homes further east. <br /> <br /> D. In all of the above cases. <br /> <br /> 1. All commercial property along Hwy. 47. <br /> 2. Half and one acre lots bordering Flintwood I with homes <br /> of equal or greater value. <br /> P & Z/Public Hearing/December 1, 1987 <br /> <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
