I I I I I I I I ! I I I I I I I 9, 1985; seems that the major it~ of ooncern is DNR restrictions on this proper ty. Molly Comeau of DNR stated that it is DNR's position that if a property is not to be developed with single family residences, it has to be a P.U.D. with cluster housing; DNR restrictions on the subject property would not allow for cluster housing density. Mr. Foster stated that he will be meeting with DNR on Friday, January 18, to discuss the density issue. Mr. Foster stated that five years ago a deal was made iD which the City, County and State benefitted and the land giver did not; if the land giver does not receive some benefit, we will withdraw the petition to rezone the property and proceed in a different direction. Mr. Foster stated that the situation as it exists does not seem fair. Mr. Poster added that the problem is with lot 2 which is proposed for multiple use; the proposed use does meet the City's zoning requirements. Roger Raaum - 371 Cooldige - Inquired as to the height of the units and whether or not the trees between the subject property and residences on Coolidge will be left as a buffer. Con~nissioner Deemer stated that the developer is restricted to a 35' maximin building height above the mean ground level. Mr. Foster stated that the units are proposed to be 2-1/2 story; about a 30' strip of trees will not be disturbed; and Mr. Raaum's dog kennel, which is located on the subject property, will also probably not be disturbed. Mr. Foster stated that it has been requested that DNR reconsider the amount of property taken for Wild and Scenic area; in most areas, 400' was taken; also requesting DNR reoonsider the ~{nount of property taken on a parcel just to the north of this subject property. Molly Comeau stated that the issue of pervious surface oover might also be a problem. pm~ission oonsensus is table preliminary plat approval until DNR and velopers of River's Bend Properties resolve the density and pervious surface robl~sns. City Planner Anne Norris provided copies of proposed resolutions regarding Ramsey's support of Ramsey Center Partnership in their attempts to develop at densities specified in City Ordinance and Ramsey's request that DNR redefine boundaries of Scenic River Land Use Districts. Mr. John Stine of DNR stated that DNR will view these resolutions as that of the City's feelsing regarding the boundary lines and that the City would like DNR to recx)nsider district boundaries and that it was the City's intention, though never recorded, to grant approval to the proposed develol~nent. ~hese resolutions would be submitted to DNR Central Office as background material in the case. Motion by Con~nissioner De,her and seconded by Zinm~rman recommending that City Council adopt resolutions regarding Ramsey's support of Ramsey Center Page 6 of B
