T. W. ANDERSON <br /> <br />Mayor Cox read the Planning and Zoning-recommendations of October 2, 1978. <br /> <br />Dr. Anderson stated they started about three or four years ago on the <br />idea of a dental clinic in Ramsey. He briefly stated what.has:been done <br />to date - 1) a soils test'as required,:2) talked to the Highway-Department <br />about making 167th. Avenue a .through street_to.Helium.~.The:/qighway.Depart~ <br />ment felt it would be better egress from 167thAvenue,-:3) Agree to install <br />right hand turn lane. <br /> <br />The land is presently zoned residential, and Dr. Anderson feels the dental <br />clinic would act as an adequate buffer. The building he is proposing is <br />about 4,000 square feet and the grounds would be landscaped and an underr <br />ground sprinkler inStalled. <br /> <br />He also stated it is a central, location:and the:citizens:are:highly favor-~ <br />able. He turned over a petition signed by residents of Ramsey supporting <br />the clinic. <br /> <br />He also stated that,Planning-and :Zoning.considers.each request for rezoning <br />on their own merits and feels this request has been met favorably by them.' <br /> <br />Mr. Art Braun stated the medical center is planned with dental services <br />as well as a drug store. He believes they would be opening pandora's box <br />as far as the Comprehensive Plan on.zoning and in granting this request <br />would cause the city further problems. <br /> <br />Mr. Rick Seoul doesn't feel the area in question is a choice residential <br />area and the City should be more conducive to small business. He feels it <br />is a good. idea. <br /> <br />Mr. Ron Jankowski said that taxes are on all minds and bringing business <br />into the area would help the tax base. He feels the City should look ad- <br />versely on the zoning plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Bill Easley feels that starting the zoning for business at 153rd is <br />too close to Anoka. As far as Dr. Anderson, he feels he is in an ideal <br />location and is in favor. He also feels some competition is needed in the <br />medical area. <br /> <br /> <br />
