SPECIAL PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING City of Ramsey County of Anoka State of Minnesota A special meeting of the Ramsey City Planning & Zoning Commission was held on October 16, 1978 at Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd. Meeting was called to order by Chairman Ken Peterson at 7:40 p.m. with the following in attendance: Kenneth Peterson Bradley Bodle Gerald Zimmerman Art Dunn A1 Sorteberg (arrived 8:30) Lloyd Schnelle, Admin. Jack Menkveld was requesting a zoning change'in the~transitionat residential-~ area, to be limited Industrial, with a deed to exclude heavy manufacturing. The general location of the property is Puma St and Hwy #10. Mr John Lee, Can-O-Log Construction, would like to construct a building to build log houses. The General consensus of P&Z is: Negative: 1. Look at the long term land zoning 2. The City of Ramsey does have existing Industrial land that is not being developed. 3. This rezoning would create "spot industrial development" 4. This type of zoning can be construction of any material. 5. Future building of log homes may not be popular. Positive: 1. This land is not suited for residential (railroad tracks and Highway #10) 2. The City will probably lose some Industrial Land. 3. There will be a continuation of an East/West street through the property. 4. There is a power easement along HwylO that would be a good service road. The Commission would like an over-all plan of development of the area. Motion by Art Dunn to recommend to the City Council to call for a public hearing to rezone, for Commercial and Industrial land to be determined later, based on the fact that the land is of little value with the tracks and highway. Gerald Zin~erman, seconded. Voting yes: Dunn, Zimmerman Voting no: Chrm Peterson, Bodle, Sorteberg Motion Denied Discussion by P&Z to have an~ordinance stating "P&Z review all plans and specs". Meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted,
