C~mi. rman Peterson called for comments from audience or Commission. lVayne Jeffrey - 15921Kamacite - Manager of Ramsey Drug - If this request is approved, the inconsistency with previous decisions regarding this area conflicts with time and money invested in developing property already zoned B-1 in Ramsey. I I I I Conunissioner Schneider - One of the main considerations is how encouraging the development of this area could affect the need for sewer and water. I think our basic intent was to keep this need restricted to the lower half of the City of Ramsey. Reasons for Comprehensive Plmn should be a part of Item #9 listed in the Findings of Fact. Con~.ssJoner Dunn - Item #11 should be added to Findings of Fact stating that property is not a lot of record. Mr. Bulen - Mr, Schmidt purchased the first 5 acres from me about 5 or 6 years ago and the other 1~ acres about a year ago. It has been recorded, but as two separate parcels. ! '1 Conunissioner Schneider Item #12 should be added to Findings of Fact stating that request for rezoning was previously denied because of soils. Proposed use at that time was for a gas station. Robert Muller - Soil borings show that land is suitable for shopping center. Con=issioner Dunn - Item #13 should be added to Findings of Fact stating that Planning Commission has recommeded rezoning this area in the past. Commissioner Zimmerman - the current zoning of this area just isn't going to work. It is a natural commercial corner. Commissioner Schneider - Item #14 should be added to Findings of Fact stating that inreased traffic will necessitate upgrading streets and intersection of 167th Avenue N.W. and TrunkHig~qay #47. Commissioner Dunn - Item #15 should be added to Findings of Fact stating that development of this nature in unsewered area will result in increased financial burden on City residents when sewer becomes available. I I I I i Commissioner Ellis - In a growing community, you have to take advantage of natural growth areas, capture them and control them. Commissioner Zimmerman - It is wrong of the City to stand in the way of development when it provides jobs and tax base. Commissioner Dunn - Where do you stop? You have to plan for an orderly and wise development. Chairman Peterson calls for a vote regarding adding Item #15 to Findings of Fact stating that development of this nature in an unsewered area will result in increased financial burden on the City residents, when sewer becomes available. Voting Yes: Chairman Peterson, Commissioners Dunn, Schneider and Ellis. Voting No: Commissioners Zimmerman and Deemer. P & Z/October 6, 1981 Page S
