'1 <br /> <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Ms. Boss a9reed and said that you can't counterac~ publicity on landfills. <br />People will re~enber that. ~amsey is a pretty City with spsoe, privacy, trees, <br />rolling hills, good schools, but no matter b~w nio~ it is, people are going to <br />go a little farther to avoid the problens. <br /> <br />Mr. DeLuca asked if there was a notioeable difference in selling right across <br />Industry Avenue N~ into the City of Anoka. <br /> <br />Ms. Ross said that they' re on city sewer and water. <br /> <br />Chairman LeLeux asked that if the houses in Ramsey were on sewer and water if <br />she's saying they would then sell. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Ms. Boss said no, because then you've got large assessments which can kill a <br />development until they get d~wn far enough or the seller pays th~ off. <br /> <br />Chairman LeLeux thanked Ms. Ross for taking the time to address the Landfill Ad <br />Hoc C~mmittee. <br /> <br />C~airman LeLeux asked Mr. Wirz how the valuation on a home can be changed. <br />Mr. Wirz stated that the City Council has to authorize a reduced valuation. <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Mr. Fountain asked how new oonstruction valuations are figured. <br /> <br />Mr. Wirz stated that it's based on the type of home, the classification and <br />square footage. <br /> <br />Mr. Fountain stated that if be were to build his home now, how would you know <br />h~ much it oost to build it. <br /> <br />Mr. Wirz stated that he would figure out the replacement cost by the square <br />footage and the p~ice of the type of house being built. <br /> <br />Mr. Pearson stated that he built his house 1-1/2 years ago, and it was valued <br />at exactly what he ~ into it. <br /> <br />Mr. Fountain asked Ms. Ross if the Ramsey area has kept pace with other <br />suburban rural areas. <br /> <br />Ms. Boss said no, there are not good ratios. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller said that he doesn't agree with Ms. Ross' peroentages. Be asked Ms. <br />Boss if she has ever sold a hcme near the landfill or ever told anyone that the <br />landfill will be closing. <br /> <br />Ms. Ross replied that she hadn't but that the landfill does have an affect. <br />Mr. Miller asked why then are people still building near the landfill. <br /> <br />Ms. Ross stated that not everyone cares. The majority, h~e~er, do worry about <br />the resale value of their property. <br /> <br />Mr. Fountain asked if 111 homes for sale in Ramsey is an exorbitantly large <br />amount of h~mes listed for sale in one City. <br /> <br />Ms. BOss stated yes, and then you've got to look at how many of those aren't <br />selling. <br /> <br /> Landfill Ad Hoc Committee/4-29-85 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
